Frontier Airlines just announced something that's quite surprising on the surface. In the US we have airlines offering various degrees of services included with ticket costs. On one end of the spectrum you have Southwest, which offers passengers two…
Earlier this summer Frontier revamped their elite status program, and the changes were generally positive. It's a reasonably impressive program for a low-cost carrier, at least in so much as they actually have an elite program. It does have some real…
Barclays issues a Frontier Airlines credit card, and today they've announced some major changes to the card. I'm very impressed by the changes they've made to the card, but it doesn't change the fact that I won't be getting it, and that I still don't…
Lately Frontier has been running occasional promotions offering 90-99% off the base fare of flights, and they're now back with a similar promotion. This has the potential to be an excellent deal, though it's probably not quite as great as it sounds,…
Today only, Frontier and Spirit Airlines are both offering 90% off base fares. This can represent a great deal, though don't get too excited -- you won't actually save 90%, since base fares only represent a portion of the cost of a ticket with these…
About two month ago Frontier ran a sale where they offered 90% off base fares in many markets, and then a month later they offered the same promotion again. Well, I guess that wasn't generous enough, because they're back with an even more generous promotion…
I've recently shared how you can save money by buying Spirit or Allegiant tickets at the airport. That's because these airlines effectively tack on a surcharge for using their website. They don't call it that of course, but that's what it is. The reason…
About a month ago Frontier ran a sale where they offered 90% off base fares in many markets, and they're now back with a similar promotion. For tickets booked by tomorrow (11:59PM ET on Tuesday, September 26, 2017), Frontier is offering 90% off the base…
Even though I'm a Premier 1K with United, I tend to sleep around -- no, really --with Frontier from time to time, especially if they are cheap. The key is, they need to be significantly cheaper than anyone else for me to want to fly them. One way to…
If you're looking to score a deal on domestic airfare, Frontier Airlines has a great promotion today. For tickets booked today (Thursday, August 24, 2017), Frontier is offering 90% off the base fare when using promotion code SAVE90. Now, as you'd expect,…
Ben and I have recently been sharing our experiences flying low cost carriers. He and I both flew Spirit for the first time this summer, while I've also had several flights on Frontier over the past few years. I even flew SkyBus during their brief history!…
My recent Frontier flight from Denver to Philadelphia ended up being delayed after the pilot called in sick. First it was delayed by one hour, then three, and then five, finally taking off at 6:30 AM in the morning. You can read the whole story in my…
Last week I shared the story of my first ever flight on Spirit. The flight itself was fine, but the check-in process took over an hour and concluded with the agents disregarding the line and instead calling passengers up in the order their flight was…
Yesterday I wrote about the interesting situation that unfolded between Frontier Airlines and Kyle Clark, a local news reporter in Denver. Long story short, Kyle did a segment about Frontier's route announcement, and Frontier didn't like it. Here's the…
Okay, I'm not sure what exactly to make of this, but I'm certainly amused. A reporter for Denver's 9News station, Kyle Clark, did a segment about Frontier Airlines' new route announcement. On Tuesday the airline announced huge expansion, and rather than…
Frontier Airlines is a whole different kind of animal. Or so claimed their marketing campaign way back in 2003. That was back when they were sort of a quirky regional airline that managed to attract a loyal following among the anti-corporate crowd common…
In the second half of last year we saw the major U.S. airlines begin selling tickets for flights to Cuba. It’s no surprise that so many U.S. carriers requested rights to operate routes to Cuba, given that it’s the first time in decades that such flights…
Early last year sanctions began to be lifted between the US and Cuba, following the embargo that was in place for decades. This was huge news for those looking to travel to Cuba, since it created more circumstances under which US tourists could visit…
The two innovations of the past several years which have made the US travel experience substantially more pleasant have been TSA Pre-Check and Global Entry. As a reminder, TSA Pre-Check allows eligible travelers expedited security screening, where they…

I don't think there's an airline which is more transparent and unapologetic about their fee structure than Spirit Airlines. And I mean that as a compliment. Are they for everyone? Nope. But they have really low fares and even with all their fees are…
