I kind of doubt that's a Frontier policy, just the gate agents at veerrrrry wheelchair-heavy RSW adapting to move things along quickly with tight turnaround times... but who knows.
thank you! That makes sense (we have relatives in Fort Myers). I think I’ve decided to just buy an extra seat then we’ll be set and I won’t have to worry about it! The stretch seats are $50 a piece on this flight and I can buy the extra seat for less than $100.
