Somebody with $29 that hasn't made that mistake yet?

Fair point, but 8+ hour flights aren't going to be $29!!

92 percent of our passengers actually make that mistake more than once I’ve heard.

Percent 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day.
DEN: 39, 36, 19, 5.
LAS: 46, 29, 15, 9
MCO: 40, 29, 22, 8
MIA: 50, 31, 13, 5
CHI: 24, 43, 9, 22
PHL: 31, 34, 21, 12.
*TPA: 83, 12, 3, 1

*As a general rule of thumb, our newly opened bases tend to have much higher day trips until they fill in.

Do the day trips tend to go more junior or senior?

The productive ones -8h credit or so go very senior. There's always a cadre of people who live in base and love the 19 days off these will afford you.
The 5hr redeye Guatemala City turns; less so...

I imagine Frontier is like any other airline in this respect..
