Frontier Airlines

Any of you fellow UDPs flown with Frontier? We MIGHT use them to fly to Red Rocks and I need to know what the pitfalls are. I see that any carryon and any checked luggage cost money and I know you don't get ANY drinks and/or snacks, but that isn't a really big deal for me. What else should I be concerned with?
I don't fly often but have always used Delta/American/United when I fly. I don't mind lines cause the kids will not be with us.

Probably one of the better flying experiences I've had. They got cool animal pics on the planes too, definitely a plus.

Their seats are uncomfortable as ####.

No cushion at all. Reminiscent to sitting on two sheets of plywood for 3 hours. Would not recommend for west coast flight.
Also, like you said, no drinks so you are either stuck buying a $5 water on the plane or a $5 water in the terminal since you can’t bring any through security. You WILL get parched on a 3 hour flight.

Freeze a water bottle

[ in reply to Their seats are uncomfortable as ####. ] |

had a security guy @ GSP tell me quietly in line that you "can't bring liquids on your carry-on thru security....but ice isn't a liquid, now, is it?"
I haven't tried this tho. Godspeed.

And they let me through with it, and didn't even ask anything about it.
Downside is having to let it thaw out enough to drink.

item" which is free. $500 versus $700 and the checked bag is $40. Save the same as the cost of the tickets to one night of shows.

are Southwest's planes much different than any other (non trans atlantic) plane? Do you not line up somehow somewhere for other flights boarded in some order, or do you get a direct police escort from the parking deck to the plane?

If I had to fly more than a few times a year I'd have to re-evaluate my career choice. The only thing worse than having to fly a bunch would be commuting through Atlanta every day.
