Hey fellow Summits,
What are your latest thoughts on our mostly favorite airline?
Here's a few of mine:
1) What do you think of the staff at non-DEN locations? IAH, SFO and DFW seem to be decent. LAX is hit or miss.
2) At the airport, I love walking up to the Summit check-in line and moving ahead of usually 10-20 people who give me laser eyes in the back of my head.
3) Priority TSA and boarding are a fantastic benefit too. I'm almost always able to get the stretch seat upgrade and that is great for my 6'3" frame.
4) I do miss the free snack that used to be offered, but they never had anything new so it got to be old getting the same thing every week.
5) I do miss the free TV, but I usually buy it anyway. Where else do you get a choice of 3-4 recent movies to watch for $5.99 in the pay-per-view world? Plus all of the other channels too. I will be sad to see it eventually go away as rumored. It means that I don't need to stuff my iPad with things to watch and that saves at least an hour each way.
6) There have been a couple of sour FAs this year, but for the most part they are cheerful and recognize my status.
7) I'm not much of a drinker, but who can turn down free Bailey's Irish Creams in coffee?
8) The Summit ability to bail on a ticket before the flight and reuse the credit later is awesome.
9) Gambling on getting on a later flight as a free same-day change has been iffy this year. The Summit phone line agents aren't budging on the Midnight start either. Rules are rules, I guess.
I hate to see things taken away, but if you look at what we still get as Summits, I prefer F9 to every other airline out there. In the last year, I've also been on SW, Delta, United & American. I have eight trips with Frontier in the next six weeks. I had other choices for these trips - mainly SW - but I hate their cattle call and the unbearably tight legroom with their new interiors. Plus having to pay for everything (except bags on SW).
Frontier has my business... what say you?
