Frontier Airlines has become the first major US airline to announce plans for temperature screenings for all passengers. I suspect this is something we'll soon find on a widespread basis. Frontier Airlines will implement temperature screenings for all…

If you ask me, this outrage towards Frontier Airlines is completely unwarranted. A couple of days ago I wrote about Frontier Airlines' "More Room" concept -- the airline was going to start selling seats that include a guaranteed empty middle seat. Most…
Frontier Airlines has just introduced a feature to guarantee you an empty middle seat on a flight... if you're willing to pay. Frontier Airlines has launched "More Room" seats, allowing passengers to assign seats with empty middle seats next to them.…
Following JetBlue's lead, Frontier will become the second US airline to require passengers to wear face masks. As of May 8, 2020, Frontier Airlines will make face coverings over the nose and mouth mandatory for all customers. This new restriction will…
Different airlines have taken different approaches to taking care of customers in light of current circumstances. Here in the US some airlines have stood out positively (American), while others haven't (United). However, perhaps the worst airline with…
Frontier Airlines is an ultra low cost carrier that is known for charging fees for just about everything. That's why many people were caught off guard when last year they announced that they'd largely eliminate change fees. Now, about a year later, they've…
At the beginning of the week the A321XLR was launched, and the orders for the plane just keep coming in. This plane will launch in 2023, and will be the longest range single aisle plane in the world, with a range of 5,400 miles. Phoenix-based Indigo…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
About a year ago sanctions began to be lifted between the US and Cuba, following the embargo which 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.…
Yes, I know, this is my third post about Frontier Early Returns this week. And that's a lot for what is easily one of the worst frequent flyer programs in the industry. But hey, it's been five days since United last stranded a planeload of passengers,…
Last night I was on ITA Matrix looking up the cheapest fares between Tampa and New York. The cheapest one-way ticket was $105, which seemed super reasonable. Great, who am I flying, Delta or JetBlue? Nope, the cheapest ticket was actually on Frontier...…
Just about the only TV show I watch with any regularity is “Undercover Boss,” whereby the CEOs of various companies go undercover to see what’s really going on at their companies (or so they say). This week the CEO of Frontier Airlines…
