Frontier Airlines Offers Thanksgiving Holiday Travel Tips


DENVER (Nov. 21, 2003) - As our nation looks forward to the Thanksgiving holiday, Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) provides passengers with a few tips - and several check-in options - to ensure a smooth and safe holiday travel experience.

First, Frontier recommends that travelers arrive at the airport two hours prior to scheduled flight departure time. Travelers are also encouraged to visit the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) "Traveler & Consumer Center" site at www.tsatraveltips.us to learn more about new airport security measures and tips to help travelers save time and smoothly navigate the security process. In addition, passengers can access a list of prohibited items, for carry-on and checked luggage, by going to Frontier's Web site at www.frontierairlines.com/about/checkpoint.asp.

Frontier also offers the following tips for its customers traveling this holiday season:

  • To stay informed of schedule changes or to check the status of any Frontier flight, customers are encouraged to check real-time flight status on the airline's web site at http://tracker.flightview.com/htFront/ff.html or call Frontier's automated flight information line at 1-800-432-1359.
  • Eligible customers may skip ticket counter lines by using Frontier's new FlexCheck online or kiosk based check-in system, which allows passengers to check in and print a boarding pass, either from a home PC or a convenient airport kiosk, located at the DIA ticket counter. Learn more about FlexCheck at www.frontierairlines.com/flexcheck.
  • Customers, especially those checking ski/snowboard/golf or sporting equipment, are encouraged to use Frontier's full-service curbside check-in at Denver International Airport, which is located on the east side of DIA on Levels 5 and 6.
  • Customers checking in at Frontier's Denver International Airport hub are encouraged to access the A Concourse via the sky-bridge on the north side of the main terminal to avoid potentially crowded trams.
  • Ascent and Summit level members of EarlyReturns, Frontier's frequent flyer program, may use the elite lines at the security checkpoints and ticket counter at DIA and other airports where the service is available, to expedite access to the gates.
  • Please remember that all carry-on luggage is subject to inspection at all security checkpoints.
  • All wrapped packages/gifts will be unwrapped and inspected. In order to keep this process running quickly and efficiently, Frontier Airlines advises that all passengers abide by the TSA permitted and prohibited items. Customers can check www.tsa.gov, for the latest TSA approved items.
  • Only ticketed passengers are allowed beyond the security checkpoint. Proper, government issued identification, such as a state-issued drivers license or a passport, along with a coordinating boarding pass, will be needed to pass through security.

Frontier wishes all of its passengers a healthy, safe and joyous holiday season. For more information or to book your holiday travel, please call Frontier Airlines at 1-800-4321-FLY, visit Frontier's Web site at www.frontierairlines.com or consult your professional travel agent.
