Frontier Airlines is looking to pick up fliers irked by Southwest's latest policy changes.

The budget airline owned by Frontier Group Holdings (ULCC) on Tuesday said it would be implementing some of the things Southwest (LUV) loyalists 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:may soon miss after the latter 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:airline's latest announcement. Need a hint? They start with the word “free.”

For bookings for nonstop travel between now and August 18, the company said, customers can receive free seat selection, flight changes, and a carry-on bag; They can also use a promo code ("FREEBAG," of course) to get a free checked bag for flights departing May 28 through August 18. While those offers are ostensibly for a limited time, the company suggested t𝐆hat they might stic♈k around.

"Think of this as the ultimate 'divorce your old airline' deal," Frontier CEO Barry Biffle said in the release—which, by the way, didn't mention Southwest by name. "If travelers show us the love, we'll make these perks permanent."

Major U.S. airlines have lately said they see the year as 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:off to a slow start.

“There’s softness in consumer demand and that’s become very clear,” Biffle said earlier on CNBC, also suggesting that low-cost carriers can “win” in recessionary or consumer pullback environments. “Now we’re going to turbo charge that by giving more for less. Any kind of slowdown in the consumer will be dwarfed𒁏 by what we believꦕe this strategy could deliver for us.”

Frontier at the end of 2024 said it plans to offer more 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:premium offerings this year, 🐬including first-class seats and ꦉfree companion tickets.

The company's shares were recently down about 3%. They're off a bit less than 20% over the past 12 months.
