Service appears to be less than daily -- I'm having a hard time getting the Frontier site to respond consistantly at the moment to find out. But elsewhere I've seen reported 6x/week to MDW and RDU, 4x/week to ATL and DTW, and 3x/week to CMH.
Wow, that was unexpected!

They are not only the smallest markets, but the closest ones at about 7 hours drive. Perhaps they will also market this heavily as a cheap way to get from those places to NY and PHL?
That would be my guess. TTN will be F9's gateway to NY and PHL. How difficult is it to get from Amtrak to the airport in TTN? Might be a hassle free way to get to downtown NY without dealing with LGA or JFK.
