One way for lounge access?
My mom is visiting. On her way back home she really wants to see my centurion lounge. If I buy a one way on frontier ($30) with no intention of using it... will frontier be unhappy when I’m a no show?

Additionally, if you go to the airport and buy your ticket it likely would be cheaper since you avoid the convenience fee. Might be worth it since you plan on eating it anyway.

A a FlyerTalker my question is how much could you justify on a trip, even a day trip, that would earn adventure (if not points) by using the $30 you'd waste towards something a little more and actually going somewhere?

This is fraud. Beyond a waste of money it's also a bad thing to do. My suggestion would be not doing it.

I honestly don't think Frontier will give a crap about collecting $30 and the person not flying. It is AMEX that would look down on this given that it is gaining "fraudulent" access to their lounge.

The Airlines and others like to call all kinds of things that are not illegal fraud. They are sometimes violations of company imposed contracts. They are not criminal and in most instances do not harm anyone. The company may impose some kind of punitive action for violations of their rules, that does not make it fraud.

Airlines will say it's a violation of their contract of carriage.
