I tell you in this new report how is a flight low cost within USA with Frontier Airlines Come in The Angels and las vegas.

After a flight from Houston with United that involved a wait of 3 hours for the connecting flight in Los Angeles to finally arrive in “Sin City”, I had the opportunity to fly for the first time with Frontier.

On a planned trip, but which had several last-minute changes and modifications, I was able to live the experience of flying on a low cost airline and one of the most important in USA.

Frontier Airlines is a company founded in 1994, which today has a fleet of more than 110 planes, serving more than 115 domestic and international routes, in the last time it has incorporated new planes and destinations, underpinning its growth in a challenging North American market.

This is how to fly with this airline…

Flying from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with Frontier Airlines

I must start by indicating that flying on a low-cost airline has its peculiarities., for example the ticket cost $40 dollars one way with all taxes, but to carry a suitcase in the hold that I needed, you have to pay extra.

everything is extra, choosing a seat costs from $17 until the $60, a hand suitcase $41 and a suitcase in the hold $39, but there is an advantage with Frontier, can buy packages from $45 dollars which includes all of the above, so I recommend them and it was what I did saving a lot than buying separately.

How did I pay for the suitcase in the hold? (a backpack or similar is free) you can go directly to the bag drop line, after printing the boarding pass with the reservation code at the self-service kiosks.

The use of the application is essential to save time and have details of the boarding pass at hand, puerta, assigned seat and reservation information:

Now come some peculiarities, there is news that Frontier will stop flying from Los Angeles – LAX due to high operating costs, for what possibly I lived one of his last flights in this airport, the other is that this airline performs the check-in from the Terminal 1, but the flights leave from Terminal B, so it is an issue to take into account due to the transfer time.

After passing the TSA security filters, We go to wait to board buses that will take us to the other terminal.

Although for some it is annoying these transfers, For aviation lovers, it is a unique opportunity to be close to planes that we would not see in our countries..

The number of flights at LAX is unbelievable., despite the fact that it still has very low numbers due to the pandemic. look at the message on the right.

At the door 203 it was the departure of the flight, first time in all trips in the United States that I had my temperature taken for boarding.

Boarding the plane is done in groups, to keep on something, distancing. This time my seat was the 4A selected within the package.

Other low cost terminals also operate in this terminal, such as Allegiant. Like a good airport in the United States, domestic flights are mixed with international ones.

while they keep reading, I invite you to watch the video I made of this report, where I show some additional details of this flight:

a peculiarity, due to pandemic issues as indicated by the cabin crew, there is no sale of food on board and its menu is suspended. You can only buy water for $2.50, although if you bring some chips to eat, no one will tell you that you can't do it, but neither carrying a whole chicken 😀

As good low cost, there was no food or drink service.

Frontier is characterized by painting and baptizing its planes with animals and plants, in this case it was Ward the Beaver:

The plane that touched me is the Airbus A320neo with registration N363FR, with capacity for 186 passengers in a single class, powered by CFM LEAP 1-A engines with less than 2 years since its first flight and was assembled in the United States.

The flight was very smooth, what did catch my attention is the high level of marketing that is announced through the plane's speakers, the new routes are discussed, there is talk of the new planes and promotional packages of exclusive miles for this flight are insistently sold.

Personally, I love Frontier's painting with animals and plants on the tail of their planes. They like?

I was very surprised by the order that was respected to board and the messages to keep the distance, But as soon as the plane landed, the distance ended, there was no message and the landing was as we knew it pre-pandemic.

The flight: FULLY LOADED.

The experience was normal to the standard of flying on a low cost airline, but it was striking how tight the service at the airport was, where alone 2 people attended 3 flights, they were late to check the bags and the attitude with the clients was not the most helpful of the previous experiences flying with airlines of this type.

I want to close this report solving a myth: Are there casino type slots at McCarran Intl Airport? Totally and you find them in every corner, waiting room, corridors and many people use them.

Is the airport a Casino? Yes.

One extra piece of data: In Las Vegas no one wears a mask anymore except at the airport, so if you are going to travel there and in general to the United States you should understand that you are living another reality and it is already normal life.

    Hello Nicholas in 2 weeks I am going to fly for the 1st time on Frontier from Tampa to Buffalo, buy the lowest rate, that includes a backpack ?? Or do they charge me extra for the backpack ?? And another question to cross overland to Canada (I have a Canadian visa), there are some restrictions due to covid?
