I appreciate their “things you should know” but it’s frustratingly incomplete.

1) Will the CIC be charged or not? I fear it will but there’s a chance their “taxes and fees” only refers to government/airport fees…

2) Will elite benefits apply? It says explicitly it won’t earn status but is annoyingly silent otherwise. Because it’s managed via the user’s FlyFrontier account I suspect benefits will apply since it appears the IT implementation is just a $.01 fare with the rest of the process for seats, etc., playing out as normal, but of course that’s largely speculation.
