Things in the Sky

So yesterday Frontier put out a press release entitled “Frontier Brings Flexibility Back,” which unfortunately reminded me of a certain 2006 pop hit. But other than that, this idea makes total sense to me. The airline has changed its policy for changing flights on the same day at the airport. In the past, the passenger would have to pay the difference between fares. Usually a discounted fare purchased in advance is much cheaper than the walk-up fare.

Now Frontier is just charging a flat $75 fee. It makes sense. The person is already at the airport, and probably isn’t willing to pay that fare difference. This new policy makes it easier for an extra $75 to be sent Frontier’s way.

The policy for flight changes made beforehand remain the same – passengers will have to pay the differences between fares and a $150 change fee.
