1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite people.

2
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Her name is Amy Leak. She is a fellow travel

3
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 2>lover like I am, and last year she and her

4
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.480
<v Speaker 2>husband bought one of these frontier passes that allow you

5
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.519
<v Speaker 2>to buy flights for just the cost of taxes and

6
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 2>fees and luggage and stuff like that, and you can

7
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 2>do it for a year and they're only two hundred

8
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine dollars. They're on sale for like seven more

9
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 2>hours today. So if you're thinking about this, I thought

10
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.839
<v Speaker 2>i'd bring Amy on to talk about what she experienced

11
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>with this. Amy, First of all, let's talk about let

12
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 2>you guys, let you travel a lot, right.

13
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, not just for work but for pleasure.

14
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>So you guys bought this pass last year? Was that

15
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>the first past? The first time you'd ever bought that?

16
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Was that the first time they'd ever offered it?

17
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 1>This is well, we bought it as soon as they

18
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>offered it, and it was We've had it for two years.

19
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>This will be our third year. But we don't have

20
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 1>any kids, So I think that's a disclaimer people need

21
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>to know.

22
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>So tell me how the process works.

23
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>You buy the pass and what you buy the pass,

24
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 1>and then if you're flying domestically, you book within twenty

25
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 1>four hours and then you pay only taxes and fees. Now,

26
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the caveat is that there are blackout days like a

27
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>ski resort, so you can't fly, you know, the day

28
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>before Christmas for fifteen dollars. But it's been pretty flexible.

29
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I've never had one outside of a blackout day where

30
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't get on a flight.

31
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>So really nice to really Now where have you used

32
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 2>this to go?

33
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 1>We've on to Chicago, Washington, DC. You can go to Mexico.

34
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Now for Mexico travel, you get to book ten days

35
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in advance instead of twenty four hours. So that's kind

36
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>of nice. If you're going to Cabo, wherever you want

37
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 1>to go.

38
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, when you pull up the flight that you want

39
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>to take, can you see how many seats are available

40
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 2>so you know whether or not it's even They don't

41
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>black out specific flights right, just.

42
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Dates correct, just specific dates, and when you log in,

43
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 1>like sometimes I'll go two days before and I'll see

44
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 1>how many you know, seats are open still just to

45
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>make sure I'm good. But if you're going from DC

46
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 1>to Denver, there's three flights a day, so even if

47
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I miss one, I can get the one later you know.

48
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>So you said you don't have kids, you feel like

49
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 2>that could be a problem if you were trying to

50
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>book all family.

51
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean it's hard to schedule. Like if you

52
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>get in a situation where you do need to stay overnight,

53
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 1>you know it might be expensive. The other thing I

54
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>have is the Frontier credit card, and so I get

55
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>to pick my seats, I get a free bag, right,

56
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 1>so I stuck the benefits, which has been good for me.

57
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>So you're obviously doing this again this year. How much

58
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>do you think? How many flights did you have to

59
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>take to pay for this thing?

60
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, they're one way flights when you book them. You

61
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>can't book round trip either, so think about that. But

62
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I have probably flown thirty or thirty five times using

63
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the pass YEP.

64
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 2>This is I mean, you know, I'm not a super

65
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 2>fan of Frontier. They left me hanging a few years

66
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 2>ago and I've never forget in them for that. But

67
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>other airlines have left me hanging. And so I also

68
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>don't like being nickel and dime to death, which is

69
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>another thing. Now you still do you find yourself paying?

70
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>You have to pay for luggage, right, so what is

71
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>bag fees on Frontier?

72
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Now you don't. If you have the credit card, you

73
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>get two free checked bags. Now, so credit card they

74
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.599
<v Speaker 1>give you it costs one hundred dollars a year or something,

75
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 1>and you get one hundred dollars flight credit. Like it

76
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>does pay for itself. It's been a great little card

77
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>for me.

78
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I appreciate you making time today. And this is

79
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>not an ad for Frontier in any way, shape or form,

80
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>but I figured if we could get somebody on that

81
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 2>had a little experience with this, it would let somebody

82
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>else know if they think this is a good idea.

83
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Are there any downsides that you have experienced that you

84
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>would say, Okay, you just need to know about this.

85
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Their customer service is horrible, so you know, don't expect

86
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to call and talk to someone. They

87
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>they're not always very helpful, but they do give you

88
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 1>your money back if you're delayed like things like that.

89
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's worked for me, but it might not be foreveryone,

90
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 1>that's for.

91
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Amy Leak, I appreciate your time today and your

92
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 2>expertise on the Frontier Pass.

93
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I will talk to you soon, sister, my pleasure. Thank you.

94
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Bye,
