On Monday, Eagle resident Missy Kraft was all set to fly out of the Eagle County Regional Airport for the first time. She had her bag packed and was excited to hop on a Frontier Airlines plane headed to Denver. With her daughter expecting twins in Arizona, Kraft was grateful for the convenience of the short 40-minute flight, which would then connect her to another Frontier flight to her final destination.
As she waited for her flight on the Frontier Airbus A320, Kraft couldn't help but express her amazement at the efficiency of the flight. Not only did it save her a whole day, but she was also able to get some work done during the earlier departure time. It was definitely a last-minute decision, but one that she was glad she made.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the airport, the inbound flight was greeted with a warm welcome. With 62 passengers on board, most of whom had connected from other destinations before landing in Eagle County, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. To add to the cheer, passengers were treated with cookies, cupcakes, and little gifts like sunglasses and beer koozies.
It's no surprise that more and more people are choosing to fly with Frontier Airlines. With their recent announcement of offering first-class seating, it's clear that the no-frills airline is upping their game. And with the news of Spirit Airlines filing for bankruptcy, Frontier's popularity is only set to rise. In fact, even the pilots for the Denver-based airline have voted to strike if needed.
The Denver International Airport is also making some big changes, with the addition of 14 "ground-boarding" gates. And for those looking to hit the slopes this summer, Frontier Airlines will soon be offering nonstop flights to a popular Colorado ski area. With all these developments, it's no wonder that passengers like Missy Kraft are choosing to fly with Frontier. And for more business news, don't forget to sign up for the Economy Now newsletter.
