Pattern Of Frontier Airlines

Introduction:

Frontier Airlines is an American ultra low cost carrier headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The carrier, which is a subsidiary and operating brand of Indigo Partners, operates flights to 54 destinations throughout the United States and 5 international destinations. The airline maintains a hub at Denver International Airport with numerous focus cities across the United state. Also, under a codeshare agreement with great lake airlines. the airline connects passengers to surrounding Rocky mountain states through their Denver hub.

Frontier Hubs and Passenger Stats:

According to Frontier, their hubs are located in Denver, Kansas City and Milwaukee — this can be a bit of a misnomer as Denver has around 170 daily departures and the others less than ten. Frontier has alliances (code share agreements) with Midwest, Chautauqua and Great Lakes Aviation that extend its route system to service over 100 cities.

The airline has more than 50 Airbus aircraft, all with seat-back video screens; its 30+ Embraer planes will all be equpped with WIFI by the end of 2010.

When to Fly on Frontier:

On most airlines the cheapest day to fly is Wednesday ; other cheap days to fly are Tuesday and Saturday, and many Frontier sales are restricted to these days.

Taking a deeper look into Frontiers flight schedules shows that, oddly enough, Wednesdays have more seats than other days of the week – still making it the cheapest day to fly, but this is outside of the normal airline pattern of maximum seats on Monday and Friday. This is probably due to the difference in Frontier’s mix of passengers compared to other airlines.

conclusion:

as we can see from the chart above, wednesday has been the best time to buy airplane tickets.This is because an airline generally begins a sale late Monday evening, which prompts the other airlines (such as Frontier) to jump in the following day, with matching prices.
