After the demise of Spirit Airlines, many are questioning the future of low-cost carriers in the US. With the major, financially stronger U.S. airlines all introducing a basic fare to better compete with them, their room to manoeuvre has indeed shrunk.

Frontier is now the largest remaining (ultra) low-cost airline and has the answer for its Frontier Miles members: For every round-trip booked by May 31 and flown by August 31, you’ll get a bonus of 5,000 miles. For this, you already get a one-way award flight in the program.

This bonus can be collected up to four times, and perhaps this could be a good opportunity to support the sector – and thus the competition – in the USA a bit!
