Frontier Airlines EarlyReturns - Frontier Miles/AMEX points for AirTran travel?

Hey All,

I'm Ascent with Frontier, but have used up most of miles. I need to get to New Orleans this summer, and prices are far too high.

Was wondering if I can transfer points from my AMEX into Frontier, and then book an award seat on AirTran, using my Frontier miles?

Any thoughts? How is AirTran, I've never flown them?

Thanks,

C

That definitely is an option, but I would call EarlyReturns to verify award availability on the AirTran flights before you make the transfer from AMEX.

I have had only good experiences on AirTran - crews are nice, though seat pitch and width are less than Frontier.

Or, if you have enough points, you could transfer your AmEx points directly to AirTran, per the following:

1.
