The First Class Travel Blog

Off to Orange County

Mrs. SFO has been grounded in low humidity Denver since her May back surgery and has wanted to go to the ocean.  So this weekend, we are off to Southern California for some R&R and to visit our SoCal travel buddies, who we are going to Israel with at Christmas.  Many things go to the airport in Denver, apparently. 

Progress on the new Westin...

Mrs. SFO was not amused when I answered "who are we flying today?"   IMO, Frontier is the best of a bad lot and is preferrable to United or Southwest.  While UA does have a First Class cabin on some of their DEN-SNA flights, it's not worth $1,400+ roundtrip for two pax.  Frontier's stretch seating has more legroom and only cost $564 roundtrip for two pax.  Frontier offers a la carte pricing so our $282 per person roundtrip included a base RT fare of $202 plus $25 each way for Stretch seating and another $15 each way for a (non-personal item) carry-on.

The Frontier vending machine.  Tempting, but not today.

Water is free, with or without ice.

 All-in-all, a reasonably adequate was to fly for two hours, considering the garbage alternatives.  Anything more than two hours, probably not.
