Frontier Airlines?

[FreezinRafiki]

I just purchased tickets through Midwest Airlines out of Milwaukee. After looking a bit closer, it says the flight is operated by Frontier Airlines. Has anyone flown with Frontier before? Anything good/bad about them?
Thanks!

My sister is a flight attendant with Frontier, so I've flown it a number of times. It is a carrier similar to Jet Blue, Air Tran, and Southwest. Along with their regular aircrafts, they do have a lot of regional flights with smaller aircrafts. On their larger planes, they have TVs on the back of their chairs.

Now I just need them to fly into RDU (Raleigh/Durham) and I'd be able to use them more often.

Enjoy your trip!

Today Midwest and Frontier will announce a name change to a unified name, so hopefully this will be less confusing in the future...

Now that you mention it, I did hear that. They can call it "Crash & Burn Airlines" for all I care. I've got my tickets booked and paid for!

I flew them to Las Vegas once. They crashed twice on the way there but only once on the way back, so they are improving.

My Dsis uses them all the time from Fargo to Denver. She said they are fine, and prefers them for the cost and nonstop flights available.

Have a fun trip!!

We have flown Frontier operating as Midwest several times. Seats are comfortable and there is a tv to watch. Of course you have to pay for it. $6 I believe. The plane and crew are not bad. I wasnt real pleased when I booked a Midwest flight and it was a Midwest plane and then it got changed at the last minute. I feel I should get what I booked or give me my money back.

But like I said it wasnt bad.

They just announced that they are dropping the Midwest Airlines brand name and converting everything to Frontier Airlines. 16 hours after I book my ticket, the brand goes belly up!
I looked a little closer and found that, as of now, I'm scheduled on a Frontier A319 - which does have the TVs. I just hope they get the cookie ovens installed by December.

we fly Frontier exclusively. They have a hub in Denver, and I won't go anywhere where I cannot fly with them. They have some of the best customer service in the industry. I also love that they have non stop flights to the destinations of my choice.

In the last year, we have flown 18 legs with them (it will be 20 by the time we get back from Disney next week) and have always had a great experience. Their flight attendants are great!

We are a bit spoiled now with paying for the upgrade to "stretch seating" (new feature, LOVE IT).

I love their new pricing plan that I can book economy, classic, or classic plus and all of those things come with different options available. We enjoy the "you pay for what you get" option.

We've never taken one of the smaller planes (nor would I), so not sure how it is if you have to do a "puddle jumper", but the Airbus 319's that we usually have are great. All leather seats, tv's in the back of the seat in front of you (not included in the economy tix, but you can pay like $5 for it for the flight if you want. not sure, because we don't ever book economy anymore).

We actually have a free flight that we need to use by the end of this year, but the fare to SNA was too cheap to waste a free ticket on this trip.

I think you'll be fine with them!!

Yes, I've flown Midwest operated by Frontier from MKE to MCO. Be careful not to get seats in rows 5 to 9. Rows 1 to 4 are stretch seats and the additional inches seem to come from the rows behind them to the exit rows.
We liked the stretch seats, but they were $25 more and had no additional width to them. They don't at all compare to the Signature seats that Midwest had previously.

They already have the cookies on Frontier flying as Midwest.
