I am beginning to see the further "harmonization" - I received a Frontier e-mail announcing a fare sale, which interestingly enough seems to match with the sale from Midwest. I don't believe the fares yet match across the board, though. |

There is one pricing department between MKE and DEN so the prices will be reflected as the same because the same department is doing both.

One observation on the new branding campaign. Both the online and print ads show an E-Jet dated February 23, 2003. They should have used a 717 t-tail instead, because that's when they took delivery of them. They didn't have any Embraers in 2003.
Minor point, I know. The media is often rightly criticized for using the wrong images for various airlines/aircraft types. Now, we have a case where the actual airline is using an incorrect image. |

Clarification - Frontier codeshare flights do not price out the same as when purchased on Midwest site, and vice-versa.

I was almost expecting a full page ad from AirTran in the JS today proclaiming themselves as "Milwaukee's new hometown airline".

I like the ad copy of the print ad which showed the tails. I don’t think I could have written it any better. I love that they hearkened back to1984. For those who have not seen it: Tales of Your Hometown Airline. A New Chapter Begins Many of our customers still call us “Midwest Express.” That was our name in 1984 when we first took off from Milwaukee with just a few planes to a few cities. By the time we shortened our name to “Midwest” in 2003, we flew every day to dozens of destinations and enjoyed wide recognition for the care we provided to our customers. Now a new chapter begins as we become one airline with Frontier Airlines, offering Milwaukee more flights to more places than anyone else. Now, as Frontier we’ll offer you new enhancements like in-flight live television on longer trips. And of course you can expect a chocolate chip cookie onboard. Today you can book your travel at either midwestairlines.com or frontierairlines.com. For any questions you may have, just visit frontiermidwest.com. To new and long-time passengers in our hometown we say, as we’ve said for so many years, welcome aboard. |

That may be because of roundtrip pricing on the Midwest side. However the statement is still true that it is the same group of people.

'Hoss and I commented on this yesterday when we say the editor for The Business Journal talking to Jim Reichart.
We were afraid that if you attended the brand announcement we may have had to break-up a fight in the parking lot, LOL! |

For those of us that have travel booked later in the year. Will we retain our seat assignments? I know some Frontier fare classes do not assign seats until departure.

The reason why there are no cows on the tails of Frontier aircraft...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyZYi7WZz-U LOL AWESOME! There's not much else to WI other than badgers, eagles, and cows. You could argue the Green Bay Phoenix, but i'm not sure you'd want to put that on an airplane. |

Here are the top ten F9/YX stations in traffic as of February 2010. (I used February 2009 for PHX because they don't have detailed stats, but that shouldn't change their ranking too much either way.
Included in this ranking are --Feb 2010 passengers --peak daily operations (O+D) planned for summer 2010 (not February) --total nonstop markets, including seasonal ones --market share at that airport --rank (when ranked 5th or higher) 1. Denver 775,969 feb passengers 332 peak daily operations 61 nonstop destinations 23.1% share rank #2 2. Milwaukee 225,599 feb passengers 202 peak daily operations 36 nonstop destinations 33.7% share rank #1 3. Kansas City 59,366 feb passengers 46 peak daily operations 13 nonstop destinations 9.1% share rank #4 4. Phoenix 45,403 feb passengers 10 peak daily operations (obvious scaled back from february) 2 nonstop destinations 1.6% share 5. Las Vegas 45,318 feb passengers 16 peak daily operations 2 nonstop destinatinos 1.6% share 6. Los Angeles 43.641 feb passengers 18 peak daily operations 3 nonstop destinations 1.1% share 7. Washington DCA 37,001 feb passengers 24 peak daily operations 4 nonstop destinations 3.6% share 8. Dallas/Fort Worth 36,101 feb passengers 20 peak daily operations 2 nonstop destinations 0.9% share 9. Omaha 32,973 feb passengers 22 peak daily operations 5 nonstop destinations 11.2% share rank #5 10. Minneapolis/St Paul 32,806 feb passengers 10 peak daily operations 1.5% share |
I may have missed this issue being addressed, so I apologize if it was previously discussed.
With the integration of Midwest and Frontier, how will flights price out? Midwest now prices the lowest available fare, which includes advance seat assignment; Frontier offers three purchase options, with their lowest fare (Economy) matching YX in cost, but not providing advance seat assignment. |
