Frontier is having a “Penny Sale” for flights to certain destinations. Today only, for travel until May 23.
Of course, you will have to pay extra for assigned seat, checked luggage, etc.

Whenever you are planning a trip out of Austin, it’s always a good idea to check Frontier Airlines.
From time to time the discount airline has sales, reducing its already low airfares. For example, Secret Flying had a recent post on one of their Flash Sales which featured ticket prices as low as $19 one-way.
All the Flight Deals has found airfares from Austin to New Orleans as low as $39 round-trip. The airlines involved are JetBlue and Frontier. Check this link to find out the details. https://alltheflightdeals.com/deal/35946
Too good to believe, but Secret Flying has found $39 round-trip airfares from Austin to Seattle (and vice-versa) on Frontier Airways. Various date pairs in April and May 2018 are available.
Expect extra fees and not much legroom. Use promo code SAVE90.
No telling how long this will last.
For travel 1/8 to 2/13/2018 on Frontier Airlines, use promo code GIFT for 90% off base fare. Note that this is not the same as 90% off total fare.
Discount valid only to 10:59 PM Central tonight.

Of course, with Frontier there will be extra fees for everything.
Well-known travel blogger MommyPoints says that this sale is particularly good because it includes an extensive date range…from now until next Spring.
PreCheck is the TSA program that lets you bypass the lengthy “standard” security lines at US airports. If you have PreCheck you can use the short line, leave shoes on and leave liquids and computers in your carry-on luggage.
Frontier and Spirit Airlines Might Finally Join TSA PreCheck
The hangup has evidently been mostly the changes to their reservation systems needed to get that little PreCheck logo printed on boarding passes.
Passengers can get PreCheck in several ways. My favorite is to get Global Entry ($100 / 5 years), which includes PreCheck as a free bonus.
Another way is to sign up for PreCheck itself ($85 / 5 years). A third way is through some premium credit cards.
In the past the TSA granted temporary PreCheck to randomly-selected passengers, but the agency has stopped doing so.
Six American airlines have been approved by the US government for scheduled flights to Cuba.
The six are American Airlines, Frontier, JetBlue, Silver Airways, Southwest, and Sun Country. They will fly to Cuban cities other than Havana, but in the future some may be approved to that popular destination.
The origination cities in the US are Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Philadelphia.
Americans continue to face significant obstacles to Cuban travel, due to the continuing “12 reasons” rule. Abolition of these restrictions may depend upon Congressional action.
Here is an updated version of MileValue’s award-chart comparison for major United States airlines:
http://www.milevalue.com/comparison-of-united-delta-and-american-airlines-latest-2016-award-charts/
The chart covert the Big 3 mainline airlines in the U.S. – American, Delta and United. The fourth column is for American Airlines off-peak awards, which come with a considerable savings.
The chart does not cover Allegiant, JetBlue, Frontier, Spirit, Southwest and other smaller airlines.
On Frontier, with extra fees, but still worth looking at. Orlando is the home of DisneyWorld and several other theme parks.
