FlyFrontier

Hello! I just wanted to provide some info: I haven't taken a plane in literally a decade. So I've done quite a bit of research into what flight to take to get from Ohio to Orlando. Our airport is adding a new (new to the area) airline, Frontier (flyfrontier.com). I checked kayak and airfarwatchdog (which checks numerous sites) and Frontier had the cheapest airfare for weeks, period. My concern was that it was newish and would Disney recognize it? Because a cheap flight was meaningless if I had to rent a car. When I made my Disney World reservation, the answer was yes: Magical Express will take care of Frontier passengers as well.

Also! JetBlue is having some sort of sale today (3/26/14) if you're looking for cheap airfare. I actually got that info off of a saving for WDW side ^__^

Thought I'd share that info with anyone looking into airfare!

Frontier Airlines started in 1994. You can use ME no matter what airline you fly:

I've used Frontier for my last 5 visits to Disney, and love flying with them. The only downside to using them is that if your flight gets canceled for any reason, they usually don't fly out of big airports, and they usually have a very limited schedule with only a few flights per week to Orlando. While they will work hard to put you on another flight, it might be on a bigger airline and at a bigger airport, which isn't a big deal except for the fact that your car is probably at the originating airport.

They did cancel one flight on us, offered to do the above, but we declined and waited for the next flight out 2 days later. We had trip insurance, so all of our expenses were paid (room and food), so we figured we'd prefer to stay and get back to our original airport so we could get our car.
