You need to provide a bit more info than just the destination. If you are planning to work for the airlines that are flying the route then you are in better luck.

I use this route a lot on my sea-ind commute. Part of it is because we can use frontier fa seats to commute on and that helped me out multiple times ( thanks guys)

The 9pm fedex den ind flight helps if you miss the last flight of the day in f9 or wn

And yeah 2.5 hrs of commute is nothing.
