But one of the things about Frontier being a ULCC is that it nickel & dimes left and right. And you need to check, but I bet that using miles doesn't cover all the nickel & diming, probably only the most basic ticket fare before all the zillions of fees start. And how much of that $250 all-in fare is fees in Frontier's case?
