At fares this low, it can make sense to fly Frontier as it's still under $100 roundtrip including a checked bag. Don't let your baggage weigh you down though. Pack a swimsuit in a small bag that fits under your seat and head to the beach for under $40 roundtrip. Travel is valid on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from mid-August through mid-November.
