Check in was a breeze, but only had 1 carry on bag since I didn't want to fork out the extra $25/each way for a checked bag. Both segments of the flight were sold out; it was a very tight fit. They did an excellent job of boarding everyone and getting off the ground on time. This was important since I had less than a 45 minute connection in Denver. (Frontier gave the choice of less than 1 hour or more than a 3 hour lay over). Frontier's gates in Denver are very spread out and this connection was no exception. Had to run to make it to the next gate in time for boarding. Seating was tight, esp. if the person in front reclined their seat. It was impossible to stand (or even squat) up in front of your seat to stretch and the entire row had to put up their tray tables and exit the row if you needed to go to the bathroom. Coupled with over 3 hours in the air, makes it pretty uncomfortable. The 1st segment was very early in the morning and with no time to stop at the gift shop to pick up a snack and no food for purchase on the 2nd leg of the trip- most people were starving. We had one drink go round and then did not see the flight attendants until landing. They did have pay for tv/movie service available but not internet. All in all a decent flight. It got me where I needed to be and on time. I just do not like the fact they nickel and dime you to death if you want an isle seat, bulkhead or exit row seat. I booked my ticket several months in advance; it would have been nice to have been able to get an isle seat with the ability to get up and walk around for such a long flight.
