I was under the impression an A319 usually flies AUS-DEN. Sounds like it might have been a spare aircraft replacement for mechanical reasons and the crew had to be put together last minute. Obviously it should have been better service but they are working on it. I think policies are supposed to be standardized by the 15th.
This is not Frontier Airlines.

Granted it was 3 years ago since I last flown with Frontier, We revived snacks. The PDX - DEN was a early morning flight they brought us dough-nuts and drinks. from DEN - ATL we they brought out a tray of snack (mostly bags of chips) to choose from. I am not sure if anything as changes since then.

Taking my first Frontier flight in a few weeks on a Classic Plus fare, MKE-LAS. Looking forward to comparing F9 to my hometown airline.

I used to fly YX once in a blue moon, typically when I couldn't get a reasonable fare out of ORD. The experience was pleasant, but not enough to entice me to switch, especially when frequency and (lack of) intl network taken into account. But, with stretch seating, DirecTV, and much improved (after F9 merger) route map I am willing to take another look. If only MKE was a bit closer to home...
I'll post my impressions upon return.

I believe that is the case, unless a flight has a stopover with same flight #. Enjoy your trip on F9.

I am not, unfortunately. The Glenview station is about 30 min away, while MKE is just over an hour drive from my house when I94 is clear - doesn't make much sense to mess with a train.
