Well, it's a factor of 5 times 100 mph. Pretty self-explanatory.

Skimping on maintenance and charging for literally everything else on the flight.

Good luck with that landing!

It’s doesn’t go to MCO if you’re thinking of taking it to Disney. It goes to the other airport

NetJets is the only acceptable airline.

Fees on everything, minimal service and old planes packed to the maximum capacity...I think.

That's actually a plus. The serpentine line with all the Disney Cruise unwashed at baggage claim isn't something Frontier should be involved with.

ETA: stand corrected. T/P

If it’s like their flights from LFT to DEN, they only fly 2 days a week. Helps cut their costs.

Nope. Frontier has been around since 1994 in it's current iteration. However, they have one of the youngest fleets of any airline, currently. I think a 3rd of their planes are less than 4 years old. Their profit margins may be extra small, per cycle, but they configure their aircraft with high density seating, so they can sell a large number of dirt cheap fares per flight.

I've taken frontier from NO to Orlando twice in the past few months... hundred bucks ... it's a steal of a price... usually packed and goes to main airport

Can't beat it

Are you saying nope to both his points? I’ve never flown with Frontier but always heard they have a ton of extra expenses

Everyone always shits on Frontier here. I’ve only taken it once from MSY to DEN and back and had no issues at all.

I’ve had worse experiences with other airlines.

Yes, if you're asking if they nickel and dime you for everything extra. As long as oil prices don't skyrocket, they can make it work at some capacity. Spirit is similar.
