PHL-MCO from $15 each way on Frontier

Frontier is back at PHL. Great intro rates from $15 each way.

This means the end of Wilmington service most likely.

I've been trying for the last hour to book something for January. I keep getting either a "sorry, our servers are busy" or an application error.

If this is indicative of their operations overall, I'll stick with other airlines, even at $98 round trip.

How does Frontier compare to Southwest?

How does Frontier compare to Southwest?

Assigned seats vs. open seating. Everything is ala carte - your ticket only buys your way on the flight. Carry on baggage is $20 a bag. Checked bags $15. Seats start at $3 to have them pre-assigned. Sodas and snacks cost. Pitch is tight but comparable to Southwest's new seating. Service on board is fine but airport staff at the gate can be gruff... at most stations you have to physically show the agent your carryon fits in the sizer prior to boarding.

Not sure if I can compare but friends booked a RT flight in March on Saturdays for 140.00. Flights from Baltimore (same week) are
540.00. Huge difference. Might be worth a drive to PHL.

After 45 mins I was able to get $100 total RT per person in January. Not bad. I would have loved the $15 fare but $100 isn't too bad. Current rate is about $240 min

They were having problems with their website yesterday, due to a fare sale and new routes announcement.
