Seat maps showing Stretch seats and pricing
 
The Frontier site is now showing Stretch seats in gold on the seatmaps, and it also indicates the upgrade fee. The fee is different if you purchase an economy ticket versus a classic ticket.

Nice to see incremental improvements like this on the website. People eligible for Stretch can now clearly see this, and others can get an idea of what the upgrade fee will be.

With the new info we can see what the upgrade fees are. In most cases...not all...the fee to upgrade from Class is $10 less than the cost to upgrade from Economy.

The highest upgrades I see in the whole system (Economy / Classic)

$50 / $40
MKE-LAS
MKE-SAN
MKE-PHX
DEN-ANC

$50 / $30
DEN-DCA

$40 / $30
MKE-SEA
DEN-ATL
DEN-LGA

$30 / $20
MKE-LGA
MKE-BOS
MKE-RSW
MKE-FLL
MCI-BOS
MCI-DCA
MCI-LGA
MCI-LAX
DEN-PHF
DEN-CAK
DEN-SAN

$25 / $15
MKE-DCA
DEN-PHL
DEN-SNA
DEN-PDX
DEN-PHX
DEN-SFO
DEN-GRB
DEN-SFO
DEN-MSY

$20 / $10
MKE-DFW
MKE-SAT
DEN-LAX
DEN-MDW
DEN-MKE
DEN-MCI
MCI-SFO
MCI-MSP

$15 / $5
MCI-MKE
MCI-MSY
DEN-ABQ
DEN-SLC

The routes with the highest upgrade fees tend to match the markets where Midwest sold the most Signature upgrades.

Knope, thanks for doing the detailed review. If a customer will be taking advantage of one of the other perks included with the Classic fare, the upgrade from Economy is now more of a value on some routes.

When looking at seat maps for routes that trend more toward leisure travel, the Economy seats tend to fill first. Of course, some bookings are made through other entities, i.e. Travelocity, Expedia, where the customer is not given the option of purchasing anything other than Economy. That customer then later complains about having to pay bag fees.

A very helpful addition.

Now, a pasenger is able to determine the cost to upgrade befiore proceeding to OLCI.

It would be a little clearer if the legend pertaining to STRETCH seating were tagged as available STRETCH for open STRETCH seats (gold-colored), and not merely STRETCH.

Add to the list:
From-To C+/C-
DEN-SAT 10/20
DEN-AUS 10/25

Agreed on the "available" vs. no label deal. They do show when a seat is taken though.

mke9499 May 26, 2011 1:34 pm

Minor flub...$ sign is not on same line as dollar amount in the legend.


STRETCH Seating $
30.00

Thanks...if anybody notices a different upgrade fee than what I posted, please post it too. Could be an indication that they have adjusted the upgrade price or have a variable price based on particular date or flight. I have not (so far) seen any variation on a single route based on particular date or flight, but it might exist.

(Could always be a typo on my part, too)

Nope, but I believe they were fixing some of that stretch pricing stuff, but I think it was related to classic plus people or something being charged.

Gold appears to have changed to green.

Pricing disappeared from Airbus flights.

There was a change from gold to green earlier in the week, depending on which browser was used, i.e. Chrome vs. IE. Today, it appears that all browsers display the green-colored STRETCH seats.

Perhaps the gold was too reminiscent of YX.

Now available at booking
 
I don't know when this occurred, however, STRETCH can now be purchased at time of booking. Even from Economy.

A nice addition that was long overdue.
