Re: Southwest’s moves in Denver… Just a FYI that according to a promo e-mail I received from them tonight, Frontier is essentially matching the offer. The e-mail is titled “Feel The Love From Frontier” and the offer is fly round trip from any Colorado airport Frontier serves on the “Classic Plus” ticket level by March 5 and get 25,000 bonus frequent flier miles.
