As a hiring manager, I would find it strange if a candidate was unusually interested in the travel policy. A basic "what type of travel is required for this job?" is normal and appropriate. The 2nd interview is a little early to ask about whether we'll reimburse a lounge membership or let you book the St. Regis. I like Segments's approach recommended above - get the deets from your future peers.
Most corp travel policies *don't* make you fly Frontier, because the whole ULCC thing is a headache for everyone and doesn't really save them money. I have, however, had friends who did hospital software installs who often stayed at Budget Inn type places - you don't get to pick when you're in Western Nebraska doing a 4-week install in a town with one motel.
