How to get comp'd?
I'm a 1K on United and will probably fly enough on Frontier next year to qualify for their highest elite level as well. Is there anyway I can get comp'd immediately to this level with my 1K status?

There really isn't any difference between Ascent and Summit. I'm Ascent (although with less than 1,000 miles this year I won't be for long) and te only thing Summit gets you is alcaholic beverages. Big deal, I've usually got a spare $5 bill in my pocket if that's what I feel like drinking. Priority seating is a joke (no extra leg room, no seat blocking...), its simply the first X number of rows in the cabin. Trust me, you won't be missing anything if you are Ascent and not Summit.
