airline opinion

Frontier Airlines -- yay or nay?

Are they on time?
Is their customer service tolerable if shit goes wrong?
How onerous is the stopping in Wisconsin on the way to the West Coast?
Newer planes or other airlines' cast-offs repainted? (um, yeah, I care -- it has to do with the pressurization and my sinuses; newer planes mean less in-flight pain for me).

It's like a $200 difference on a trip for Patty and I, so I care, but if it's going to be hell, I'll just spend the money (I won't, for example, fly Spirit for cost savings).

They won my daughter's heart by giving her a warm chocolate-chip cookies on her flight.

That's a holdover from Midwest airlines (Frontier took over their business in a merger), and yes...a good enough reason to fly either airline. :)

R? Frontier's fine. Nothing special, but I'd definitely fly them again.

(and Milwaukee's airport has a fantastic used book store, if you have time between flights)

Now Patty's gonna be pissed we're not getting off the plane!

I'm fascinated by an airport having a used bookshop.

Everything bethbethbeth said. Midwest Express our favorite airline - hope Frontier hasn't bollixed it up. Great love or the Milwaukee airport. MWExpress planes are awesome - 2 big leather seats on each side of the aisle. Dunno what planes they're using now, of course. But the website will usually tell you which plane is used for which flight.
