F9-anc

Hi guys,

Just wondering how the loads to/from Anchorage have been this summer on Frontier's new service? Is this going to be seasonal, or year-round?

Thanks-
Striker

I'm told from ops and SOC that the loads are good. They plan to keep it on through the winter....beats having to fly through SEA on AS.

I just tried to jumpseat and was denied both ways becuase the flights were full - they tell me its been like that since they started. More power to them I guess. I went direct on AS instead.

Twotter,
are you saying you took AS non-stop or via SEA? If AS is flying non-stop to DEN from ANC thats news to me.

Yup went direct from DEN - leaves DEN at 930pm daily gets in around 1am. Its a nice option to have. I believe the return from ANC leaves at 1230am and gets in aruond 7am. No SEA for me thanks that always turns into a large goat-rope with all the other guys trying to go...

Also I neglected to mention it in my other post but the agents told me that F9's DEN-ANC service tended to get weight limited quite often. Not sure why this would be since UAL does the same route in a 320 and I can't recall them ever being weight limited but then I don't fly it so I don't claim to have all the details...
