I'm not quite sure of the answer to your question, you should review the contract of carriage on Frontier. You mentioned weather, and typically the airline isn't obligated to provide lodging or other consideration to you if a delay or cancellation is due to weather.

If you're as concerned as you seem with any problem with you trip I would recommend travel insurance. You can go to Insuremytrip.com and compare different plans. I often buy travel insurance when I gauge possibility of risk to be high (certain places in winter, international travel, etc). I often go for a "Pack and Go" Policy through Travelguard that runs me around $20 total and covers for delay, missed connection, luggage, medical expenses, etc. That policy DOES NOT pay for trip cancellation and some other things. You should look at your options... $20 saves me piece of mind when I'm worried about things like you mention.

I apologize if this has been asked before, i tried searching a couple different ways. I'll be flying LGA-ASE(via DEN) later this month. I did it last year with zero problem , but it seems like there's a lot more weather this year(both east coast and Colorado) so I wondering what frontiers policy is if I don't make the connection.

I'm flying the 5:30pm flight out of LGA, then taking the 9:30pm flight out of Den(last ASE flight of the day). The two problems I can envision are either:
--my flight gets delayed out of LGA and I don't get into Den until after the 9:30 flight has left(happened last night 2/28 for example)
--that I make it to Den in time but the ASE flight never happens(for whatever reason)

Either way the end result is that I'm stuck in Denver at 9:30 pm or later. What is frontiers "obligation" to me, and how do they generally handle situations like that. Thanks so much!
