Frontier has lost my family as customers. Not becuase the service was bad, or to expensive, well partially for being to expensive when compared to southwest. I mean I can fly my luggage for free on southwest, and that is I think 50 per person. If we all have only one bag. But I don't fly Southwest very much either.
Anyway when I moved to Denver, Frontier was a local company that offered a free flight for 15,000 miles, which was 10,000 fewer than United. Then they went belly up and someone (Midwest airlines) bought them and raised the miles required to 20,000. Fair enough, I mean they did go bankrupt.
however, we tried to book a flight using miles from Denver (their hub) to orlando (one of the daily destinations) and they said, you can't use miles for this flight. Apparently you can only fly to the cities no one wants to go to with your miles.
Now, I was on their sight today and they've raised it to 25,000 miles per flight needed. Which is the same as United. Not that I am singing the praises of United, I mean remember they break guitars. If you've not seen the United Breaks Guitars video, google it or go to You Tube, it is some funny stuff.
Anyway, now United and Frontier have the same cost in miles to fly. Only can go everywhere on United.
Also, I like that the frontier planes had direct tv available, however the last two flights I took did not.
Anyway, United blows, but If you're going to get miles from someone, shouldn't it at least be someone who will take you someplace you want to go?

I have never flown Frontier but I do like your new blog layout!
TV...crappy cities...choices...
I haven't flown since before 9/11. I share my maiden name with a known terrorist type, so I often wonder what would happen if I did.
Aren't blogs a wonderful way to dis crappy companies? I really like that about them.
