Southwest's traditional Monday AM intra-CA reliability has been absent for me recently, with one outright cancellation (causing a 4 hour delay) and several delays of 20 minutes to 45 minutes. Southwest's current unreliability and its huge schedule gaps make me much more tolerant of Frontier's lower predictability. For me, travel value has been declining since 2020, other than the temporary bright spot of wide open award availability in mid-2021 as international travel began opening up. Every aspect of my intra-CA commute is now slower and more expensive than pre-2020. Even something as simple as getting a public bus to the edge of LAX from a mile away is no longer possible. It's all greed all the time. Low Frontier fares are the only refuge, and I don't expect those fares to continue past 2026.
