I had a lovely trip back east. The weather was cooler than I expected, and I had a nice time visiting with relatives.

Frontier has direct flights from Denver into National Airport in Washington DC, and this is the only Washington flight Frontier has. In other words, you can't fly Frontier to Washington from Nashville or Chicago or anywhere but Denver. You always know the gate your Frontier flight will leave from because they have only one, since there is only one Frontier plane parked there at a time. It comes in two or three times a day, so it's kind of like taking the bus.



The name of the Dahl sheep on the tail is Colorado, which I think is boring compared to the other names.

Take a look at their full line of animals and names, some of the very cute:

The plane was only half to 2/3 full coming and going, which was very nice and relaxing. I think they have more leg room than other carriers.

They provide access to movies and television, but it is $8.99 for first-run movies, and $5.99 for DirectTV service. With the movies, it is set up like Pay per View, so once you pick a movie, you can't jump around to other channels. I'm not sure if it works this way for the TV, but I don't know how to watch TV without jumping around, so it would really cramp my style if that is the case. Frequent fliers at the top level can watch whatever for free - the cabin personnel have some kind of dummy credit card they swipe on their behalf.
