Frontier CEO Barry Biffle said while he will not invest in long-haul jets, he has been struck by a greater desire among leisure travelers to pay for first-class seats on domestic flights.
Frontier is watching the trend "very carefully" and would consider adding premium seats if it lasts for multiple years, he said.
"If people are really willing to pay that much for a premium, maybe there is an opportunity," Biffle told Reuters.
Under any other circumstance I would think that’s a good menu item to add to a ULCC. But given the horrid nature of gate agents, customer service and on time arrivals at F9, I’d say it’s a waste of money to add first class seating.
People aren’t gonna pay extra just to get punched in the gut and arrive late anyway.
