Frontier Airlines which has cheap base fares, but tacks on fees for a carry-on bag, advance seat assignments, and soda and coffee, announced Wednesday that it will discount several common fees if the customer buys them all in a bundle.
The package is called "The Works" and includes one checked bag, one carry-on bag in the overhead bin, the best available seat on the flight, priority boarding in Zone 1, and no fee to change a ticket later.
Frontier is not eliminating any fees, just bundling them into one price. The package will cost $49 to $69 each way, depending on the cost of the options chosen, such as seats or bags, and is unrelated to the cost of the base fare.
Frontier, which will fly to 12 cities from Philadelphia this fall, and 11 cities from Trenton-Mercer Airport in Ewing Township, N.J., has been remaking itself as an "ultra low cost" airline. Its business model of lower base fares, but lots of added fees, is similar to that of Spirit Airlines.
