Frontier is having a sale today where they are selling tickets for 1 cent plus gov't fees and taxes. That usually works out to ~$15 one-way but I'm not sure if the taxes are being computed correctly all the time. For example, I saw a bunch of roundtrips listed for $6 on Google Flights. When I click through to Frontier it jumps to $30, but Orbitz it prices at $14.60 total (after apologizing that the fare jumped from $5.60, hah!).

Maybe somebody can find a use for these fares!

Thanks. This was helpful.

I was looking for a one way from Chicago, and the $50 lowest rate they had was well below others, so I started going through the booking process. It didn't take long before I realized/remembered why I have never travelled with the likes of Spirit and Frontier. By the time you add on the minimums you need, they price similar or higher than the majors (at least for me since I have status with both *A and OW so I don't have to pay for bags, seats, etc.). I ended up booking American for the same route for 99.

No baggage, and just put it under the seat, not picky on seat selection helps out and save you, granted if it works for you. Another downside might be not offering TSA PreCheck. But to me, the biggest downside will be with irrops, as they only offer one daily service to their destination from my home airport, which means that I could potentially be stuck at least 24hrs trying to get back.

Amazing fares! And only $443 during the same period from NYC. It's a shame the positioning flight would make this not such a good deal for me at the end.

Reminds me of a $238 MIA- RIO AA had a few years ago, which made for a cheap visit to Corcovado!

I agree. I had actually acquiesced to no assigned seat, etc., until I got to the prompts to pay for bags. While I would be carrying only a smaller (16x13) carry-on, according to their chart, I would have had to pay $30 extra for that. Not sure how stringent they are with respect to their carry-on policy, but at the end, the $99 AA fare was a no-brainer.

I frequently travel to Latin America and northern South America, and Spirit often offers very low fares (half or less the next best fare), and because of that I started the booking process with them at least half a dozen times, only to give up half or three quarters of the way through because of the aggravating extras, and all the negative messages about 'how bad it would be if you didn't buy this or pay for that'.

Anyway, this thread is probably not the place for these rants, so I will stop!
