Frontier does have a pretty nice mix of premium drinks, and I noticed (what I believe to be) a "new" pair on the January service guide...white and chocolate milk. It's Horizon organic milk, and it's $1.50.

Now I think milk had been offered for free before on F9 and before that YX, however:

(1) It wasn't widely promoted or used.
(2) On the rare occasions when someone asked for milk, it seemed very hit and miss if they had any aboard. A time or two I heard F/A tell someone that milk was only available on flights catered for meal service, but other times I saw someone receive milk on a flight with only cookie service.
(3) It was conventional milk, meaning a relatively short shelf life.

I suspect that this means there's no more free milk, however:

(1) As a published premium beverage, it seems likely to be stocked consistantly...unlike in the past
(2) It's organic, and while that does not really concern me when it comes to milk, it's a "better" product (at least perceived so) they are now charging for.
(3) Like most organic milk, it's ultra-high-pasturized, meaning it has a much longer shelf life
(4) It's white or chocolate

Now that I think about it, I wonder if breakfast flights still have convention milk cartons to accompany the purchase of cold cereal? The Horizon organic milk containers are sort of juicebox-style, which would be awkward (but fun!) to put on your cereal.

Also new (at least to me) wth the January inflight service guide is a cheese and fruit plate listed along with the salad and sandwich meal options.

Of course the devil is in the details, but it seems like a nice option for a fresh substantial snack. A lot better for you than some of the processed (tasty) packaged food options, especially if you split it with someone. I am a huge fan of the cranberry nut mix, though.

Of course those of us who flew the old Midwest Express in the 1984-1998 range were really spoiled (those ribs were k i l l e r) but I think Frontier does a pretty good job with their onboard offerings. My only complaint is that the food cutoff of 700 seems a little arbitrary, and I wish it went a little lower. For example from Denver, AUS and SAT are long enough but DFW at 640 miles is too short. Same with DEN-MSP at 677. From Milwaukee, LGA does (739 miles) but PHL (690 miles) and DCA (634 miles) do not. From Kansas City, SAT at 708 miles qualifies, but AUS (646) HOU (640) and MCI (690) do not. That one makes me smirk a bit, as back when Midwest started charging for onboard meals, MCI-SAT had the lowest uptake in the whole system at one point.

Obviously there needs to be a cutoff someplace, and maybe demand turns a sharp corner around 2:00 block time, which is right about 700 miles. In any case, I do like the reliability of a firm cutoff versus guessing.
