Frontier

[Boris spatsky]

Has anyone flown Frontier in the US? Are they ok or are they very LCC-like?

Hey

I have not flown them, but a work colleague (tight cough springs to mind when I think of him) swears by them.

To level the playing field, he also enjoys flying on Ryan

He always makes it too and from his destinations, I guess that's a bonus ;-)

I've flown them on a couple of sectors of about 2hrs each and they were fine, no real problems with what received given the cheapish price - would have no issues flying them again.

I flew las den and den dca and found them better than the legacy airlines. More legroom, setback IFE ( cost a few dollars ), and free cookies which the natives seem rave about! Each plane had a different animal on it's tail though apparently not one depicts a kangaroo.

Frontier is a great airline. Being originally from Colorado which is where Frontier is based I swear by them when I have to do US domestic flights.

Only thing to remember is that all of the flights go through Denver. Which, if unplanned can be a good stopover for a couple of days if needed.

Yep, i am through Denver next week. Will do up a TR when i get back.

The cookies are a hangover from the Midwest Airlines days (a "signature" I guess).

ISTR the cookie is about to be or has been phased out now.

No first hand experience but by all reports Frontier are fine and would happily travel them price/schedule suitable.

Have flown before, positive experience.

Had a 20 minute transfer in Milwaukee (LAX–MKE, MKE-DCA) and our flight from LAX arrived in a couple of minutes late.... the DCA plane was held for us.

And our baggage arrived on the same flight into Washington DC.

Having flown on many other US domestic airlines (Delta, American Airlines, Virgin America, United, Southwest) id happily fly with Frontier again.
