This would help to make up for the recent fare increases.

Thanks for posting, yanxfann.

Can I use 1 or 2 groupons if I book on one PNR for 2 passengers ? The groupon states 'Limit 1 per flight'.
Same question for round trips ? I can then just book 2 one ways I assume and trick the system.

Did anybody already buy one and try it out ?

Just nabbed two, reducing the effective cost of my next two DEN-SAT F9 trips by $25 apiece (flying WN back to DEN in both cases due to scheduling).

May grab one or two more once I decide whether I'm going to jump on the first plane to RFD this december.

One of my friends is planning a trip to GRB soonish so I'll probably be getting another 2 for him...good times all around.

EDIT: Since these coupons are "per flight" you betcha my next few bookings will be OW single passenger bookings...

Can I use the coupon to fly from FLL-DEN? FLL isn't a hub right? It says fly from a hub.
Thank you

I don't think they're making a distinction, but since my coupons won't be live until tomorrow I can't say for sure.

I read on Slickdeals that it is already live even though it says tomorrows date. I says on groupons site:

What You Get

For $25, you get $50 toward any flight from any Frontier Airlines hub.


I would be flying from FLL so I guess it won't work. If anyone has been successful using it at a non hub please let me know.
Thank you
I guess I could just book one ways. Humm

A person on SlickDeals has reported that he was able to use his Frontier Groupon today, see Post # 15 of http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthr...6#post41285704 .

At the moment the people at SD are also all up in arms about the "hub" wording.

There are many of the same questions being asked on the groupon comment page http://www.groupon.com/deals/ga-x-fr...airlines/posts plus this comment from a Groupon admin:

Q: "For clarification: Can this only be used on flights originating through a hub (Denver, Milwaukee, Kansas City & Omaha)? Or can this be used on any Frontier Airlines flight originating anywhere?"

A: "This offer can be used for any booking done directly through Frontier Airlines.com, so yes it can originate anywhere!"

That's what I'll be doing today or tomorrow, and that's what a friend (who I bought two of these deals for) will be doing soon as well. Gotta love DEN-GRB nonstop for $101 all-in each way.

EDIT: Booked one flight so far (DEN-SAT evening 10/13) using a Groupon code. They *are* valid today. All-in, the price of that OW flight was $49. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Southwest.

EDIT 2: Just so everyone's clear, this is a $50 Fly Bucks card as far as Frontier's system goes. It also CAN be used today, 'cuz I just did.

Posted by Seth on Groupon:

Quote:
*You make all your reservations online so all that is done is that the discount is taken off your final bill and there is not a certain number of Groupons allocated for each flight. First come first serve with the Groupon or not!

*All flights must be booked directly on www.frontierairlines.com

*It is limit one per flight.

*This is valid for any flight that is bookable through www.frontierairlines.com. It does not have to be only through their hubs but just where they have flights available.

Thanks!

Seth – Groupon

I wonder if it would be to risky to book all of my flights separately and use a groupon for each flight. I would save $150. I am traveling FLL to DEN with me and my two daughters (2 &4). That is 6 separate flights (saving $25 per flight). But would I run the risk of things getting confusing and then I wouldn't be able to sit with them? Humm

The biggest risk would be if your flight needed to be rebooked, having the same PNR would keep you all together. Not to mention you might get stuck on unaccompanied minor rules if you aren't all on the same PNR.
