Questions:Short Layover Times on F9
Booked tix for BWI-SEA on Frontier (F9), trying them out for the first
time. The connection time in DEN is very short, 30 min outbound and 35 min on the return trip! Only been to DEN once before on UA in the very looong Concourse B. Is this enough time to switch gates at DEN for F9? Does F9 usually have these very short layover times? On flight day, any chance of having them "hold" the DEN-SEA flight if the BWI-DEN leg is behind? Do I have anything to be concerned about here? Thanks for any info and/or re-assurance. |

For your second question, re holding the next flight, airlines won't do this unless there are a) many people on the first flight or b) you're a VIP. or c) if the plane scheduled for the second flight is the plane used for the inbound flight :-) |

I think you should be fine. Of course the A consourse is not as long.
Also not all of the gates there are used by F9. Michael |

For your second question, re holding the next flight, airlines won't
do this unless there are a) many people on the first flight or b) you're a VIP. I flew ATL-PHL-ITH on US with a tight but legal connection on Friday. The inbound flight was late, so I walked briskly to the outbound gate where I had to wait for the agent to finish a phone conversation which was about asking where I was. They were clearly holding the plane for me. |

I have seen UA hold an UAX flight a time or 2. They did this once when
I was flying SEA-CPR via DEN. Our flight was lae getting into DEN, as we had a late arriving aircarft from IDA, due to bad weather in the Washington area. My UAX flight was the last one to CPR, so I think that had something to do with this. Michael |
