airline opinion

[rm]

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).

When I flew Frontier, I had two very new planes (Chicago to Albuquerque, Denver to Chicago) and one older plane (Albuquerque to Denver). Pleasant experience, nothing particularly notable--we were a little delayed but not enough that I had to deal with customer service staff.

idk if this will speak to your sinus problems but they humidified the air they pumped into the new planes, at least while we were on the ground. I'm usually way too dry in public places, but I was totally fine for those plane rides.
