That's a real slap in the face.

No offense taken.

Comparing Midwest to Frontier is like comparing apples to oranges. That's now in our rear view mirror, it's time to move forward.

Interesting that San Jose doesn't show up in Chrome and Liberia is barely visible.

The Seasonal Service page for Fla does not allow clicking thru to "Check Schedules." The other Seasonal Service pages are fully functional.

I wouldn't be surprised if Florida seasonal service disappears from MKE.

FLL was already down to four days per week.

Starting in September, MKE-MCO goes to 3x/week A319 for fall.

Who knows what will ultimately turn out Comptition-wise, Southwest/AirTran's August-to-November 2012 schedule is already two daily frequencies lighter to Florida than they ran in 2011. I'd guess that's to help fare levels rise and imprive load factor.

Have to believe this is a prelude to dropping MKE-MCO completely. The late afternoon departure not as attractive to leisure travelers as the morning flight was. Not eager to use MKE-DEN-MCO, although I have in the past to get the miles. F9 is a now a GREAT airline...if you live in the DEN area!

More like comparing First Class to coach.

F9 has pretty much been a great airline for DEN travelers for several years now. I wish I could take advantage of it if I were DEN based. However I would think MKE-MCO will be one of the routes that sticks around after the dust settles. It'll probably have seasonal reductions but I'm sure around Winter breaks and Spring breaks they'll ramp service up and then back down again. We'll see how far they take the MCO flying. With all the additions of late, and the growing Apple partnership I would think MCO will see more flying from F9.

New website feature for checking "today's prices," brings up calendar with fares posted on dates. The functionality is similar to what some other carriers offer. This is a nice addition to the F9 site.

https://www.frontierairlines.com/Calendar.aspx?

The feature provides a very quick look at fares for months out, all displayed in a full-month's calendar view.

Has anyone else noticed that the fares displayed on the calendar are not always accurate? If you click thru, sometimes the available fares are higher, sometimes they are lower, no matter which routing is selected on the booking page; the difference in pricing is not just the rounding to the closest dollar, either. I have noticed fares displayed on the calendar that actually end up being almost double in cost, after checking availability. Is fare availability not taken into account for "today's prices?

The information provided is sometimes very misleading.

The fare calendar reads from a cached source. So if the fares change it takes somebody else searching for that fare to change it in the calendar.

Aw jeez, seriously? Of course you need caching on a data set that large but what kind of Micky-Mouse school of programming did their developers go to that they'd rely on user actions to rebuild the data piece-by-piece? At least flush the cache when new fares are loaded or set it to rebuild automatically every 5 minutes... as someone involved in web dev myself I'd be embarrassed to turn out a product with such a glaring deficiency.

I agree with you, but don't shoot the messenger.
