Denver-based Frontier Airlines, whose goal is to become an “ultra low-cost” carrier, has dropped its fares by about 12% (which works out to about 18% below Southwest on competing routes).
The fare cuts come with a big “but” but with no baggage—literally. If it won’t fit under your seat, you’ll have to pay, whether checked or in the overhead. You’ll also pay for any snack or drink, for selecting a seat…basically for anything except a seat to sit in, the Denver Post reports.
