RCVoyager Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Anyone think all of the travel industry isn't going to be offering crazy good rates coming out of this? June 4, Indianapolis to Orlando on Frontier Airlines is $11. WAAAYTOOO, Ogilthorpe and Big Tule 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 But it's Frontier. Ugh. I've flown them before, once, then said never again. sk8erguy1978, Momof4crazytocruise, WAAAYTOOO and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk8erguy1978 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I have a trip planned for Memorial Day weekend, I suspect the hotel to extend their closure, but waiting until that happens. United is currently offering upgrade to first for $269 PP (that's one way, no idea for return as I used points and cannot upgrade). That's for a 5-ish hour flight, NY to Vegas. I'd jump on it but I don't see the trip happening. No need to just put myself into a larger voucher. Also was planning on seeing a friend in June, those flights are in the $100 dollar range. That's a short 2.5 hour flight on American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Curtis Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Seems to be a trend, allegiant had 14 dollar flight one way from Cincinnati to Florida one day last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it Twangster, but options are limited from Indy, and we as mostly pleasure flyers like a good bargain. We've had decent luck with Frontier.

bigpete Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Might just be spoiled with the luxury of leaving out of the two-gate Trenton, but even with leaving out of Philly, Frontier has never been horrible. If the base airfare is that low, consider upgrading to the "stretch" seating that reclines. If you fly them enough, you'll get these upgrades for free.

KathyC Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 We scored $39 each way from PHL to MCO in May for a land vacation, only for Southwest to go and cancel those flights. They re-booked us on horrible timed ones, and if we want to change to a different one...of course there is a higher cost. So if we actually get to go, we'll be getting up at 4 am to make our 6:30am flight. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke for us in Indy is that you can't get to He!! (that place none of us want to go) out of Indy without connecting in Atlanta!

monctonguy Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have flown them twice..both times for very cheap and no issues.....I dont mind paying those prices compared to over $600 or more to fly a local Canadian carrier. That being said, prices have gone up for flights in November we are looking at for our Odyssey cruise. Cruise prices sure aren't following a lower trajectory yet!

Ampurp85 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Meh, I hate Frontier. They say Frontier and Spirit are the same but having flown both, would rather fly Spirit again for short flights. Anything 2 hours or less I can justify a crappy airline for $11. That means more money to drink, eat and play with....now the terminals involved are a whole other beast.

The market determines the price. When people don't want to fly prices go down. When people want to fly, prices go up. Planes are flying nearly empty. That's not profitable but in order to eligible for bailout money they have to keep flying. The crazy low fares are not sustainable unless we keep promising them billions in bailout money.

Branderson610 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I still think airlines have been over charging for years. However, that is just my opinion. ellcee, Baked Alaska and RCVoyager 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my taxes have been too high for years. I think grocery prices have been too high for years. Where should I stop? I blame data analytics. Once businesses could study sales trends and consumer trends they used data to maximize profit. That didn't happen 3 decades ago. Airlines do it. Cruise lines do it. Your doctor does it. The auto industry does it. And so on... teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but the loose cover over something on the wing was flapping as we flew. Told the pilot who just shrugged.
