Frontier airline partners
 

FDoes Frontier partner with any other airlines for FF miles etc.?

The Midwest Airlines partnership is terminating in September, leaving only Virgin Atlantic as an FF partner...this is my one disgust with EarlyReturns...they need more airline partners!

That really is too bad. I wonder if they are talking with anyone else as a prospective partner. Maybe they will join SkyTeam/One World...

Huh??

1. Airlines have to get INVITED to join a global alliance. Why would AA or BA or IB, etc, invite Frontier into One World? Why would Northwest or Continental or Delta invite Frontier as a 4th US-based airline into SkyTeam? (And why in the world would United want Denver-hub-rival Frontier into StarAlliance?)

2. How does a one-hub airline (it has no flights that don't either start or end in Denver, do they?) with mostly just domestic flights (mostly to markets the majors already cover) fit in with a global alliance? (For OneWorld, Alaska is a MUCH more viable partner, since it's not limited to one hub, and since it's already being used by several OneWorld airlines, including domestic AA, to fill out their northern west coast schedules.)

Hey, at least they have ONE partner. Southwest doesn't have any (for earning/redemption purposes), neither does JetBlue, near does most any other LCC.

What Frontier seems low on (by Southwest standards) is NON-FLYING partners. For a decade now, Southwest has partnered with multiple major hotel chains and multiple car rental companies. That, IMHO, is where Frontier needs to focus its parnter expansion.

True..It wouldn;t make sense for one of the existing alliances to include Frontier, but perhaps there are other orphaned airlines like Virgin Atlantic that would have F9 as a partner. Coming to think of it, there aren't too many others! Even a one hub airlines can provide decent service coast-to-coast, with a single connection in Denver, couldn't they?
