Classic +$10
 

On ALL non-stop flights to/from Denver, Classic is being offered for only $10 more than Economy. So, for an extra $10, you get two bags of luggage and DIRECTV for free, plus the extra 25% EQMs.

Should be implemented system wide. At least temporarily.

It is systemwide for all nonstop segments which offer the three-tier pricing.

Today that includes a few non-Denver flights which operate primarily as Frontier such as Milwaukee-Branson. For travel starting September 30, flights from the entire legacy Midwest network also have the classic fare for $10 above economy for sale.

When everything is on the Frontier platform, they should do a push to educate the YX markets about Classic and Classic Plus, and tie that into this promotion. Doing a push like that right now is inviting confusion, but they should have it in their arsenal for that point.

It's a technology issue that will be resolved overtime, like Knope said. He hit the nail on the head.

We can't sell Classic or Classic Plus on YX partition flights. So there would be no reason to have the $10+ promotion on flights that aren't sold with AirFairs.

I'm guessing that since you can by Classic for former-YX flights starting 9/30, that's the day everything will be one platform...or at least the target date.

I suspect everybody is really looking forward to the two-platform situation being behind us. Although various glitches are always a real possibility, hopefully things are all ready to go by that date. 9/30 is just over five weeks away...

In the meantime, if your YX reservation also has a Frontier PNR, you can call F9; with an EarlyReturns account number, they can add your reservation for access on the Frontier site. If you do not have an EarlyRewards account, open one up online and receive 500 miles, just for signing up.

Right now, neither can access the other's system. It sounds like YX CSRs still must receive training on the F9 system.

I was tempted to do just that to get the 500 miles, but when I book on the Frontier site with a new FF number, I don't have any of the MME benefits...primarily getting Stretch or exit row at booking.

As someone who does system conversion and integration for a living, I'm sure this is quite a project. The process of moving my YX account into the F9 base is probably far easier and less perilous than merging my YX account with a new F9 account. Merging my DL and NW accounts was messy and I had issues of not being able to log in, incorrect information, etc, for a time. It did not harm me because I wasn't doing anything active with either account and my DL/NW flying was being credited to my YX account. But it took time to get cleaned up, and I would not be surprised to see similar in this merge.

As far as merging accounts, I can see potential problems such as registering with a middle initial for one account, but not the other, using a home address for contact info on one, but work address for the other, different contact phone numbers, etc.; it will be a major project!

For the NW/DL merge, there was an incentive of bonus miles for those FF members who voluntarily merged their two accounts, well in advance of the formal transition; this lightened the load at the end of the process for DL.

It's very difficult to programatically combine lists like that. If you require every single field to match perfectly, there will be many records which should merge but don't. If you don't require every single field to match perfectly, then it's necessarily an imperfect judgement call.

I had forgotten about that -- I tried twice to merge mine and the process failed both times, so I gave up. It does not sound like there's been a similar effort in the F9/YX world. Perhaps when the accounts are all on a single platform, people with two accounts will have the ability to request a merge at that point if they were not automatically combined.

Frontier should consider the same incentive. However, it is getting a little late in the game to start thinking about that. They are too busy telling us we'll retain the same FF number.

This works to view the reservation on the Frontier site; however, when I click on the link to view the itinerary at Sabre's Virtually There, a message appears on the Virtually There page "Itinerary view is not allowed, please contact your travel arranger."

Why?

The promotion is over (was available on all routes).

Was it successful? Did anybody here take advantage of it?

My wife and daughter took advantage of it on a couple of trips.

Upgrade to Classic for $10
 

Promo for Classic reinstated.

Classic available for $10 over Economy on select routes.

When did seat selection for Classic on E190 get bumped back, starting with row 11?

Seat maps currently showing Classic beginning in row 5. Must have been a temporary glitch.
