Here’s the AI summary of the program:

When I asked AI about average COST:
The cost of Frontier Airlines’ Disruption Assistance for Any Reason varies by flight. Based on available information, pricing typically ranges from $10 to $19 per flight. For example, a flight from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to Boston (BOS) was quoted at $10, while a flight from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) was quoted at $19. Since the cost depends on the specific route and booking, an average cost is roughly estimated to be around $15 per flight, though this can fluctuate. For precise pricing, check Frontier’s website during the booking process.
I’ll have to look into this. My main heartburn with F9 from a paying passenger’s perspective (I’ve paid to fly before and after I worked there) is system redundancy. I was twice screwed over by a broken plane at F9 and had to book a $400, last minute ticket on WN (a terrible flight experience, no wonder they are slipping). I’d happily pay to insure my F9 ticket from cancellation and guaranteeing getting to my destination on another airline. I saw many vacations ruined, or dramatically affected by F9’s lack of redundancy. It was sad to see. This might be a game changer for them. Win one for the C suite if it’s a real thing. It’s innovative and outside the box. I know a lot of great people at Frontier, and I’d like to see them succeed.
On a very positive note, I jump seated to PHL from CLT last week that the GA, whose initials were TH, was an absolute example of customer service, politeness, and professionalism. Is there anyway to put in the good word for her? F9 needs to be rewarding her and those like her.
