holy crap I'm going to Denver in mid July also and cars are in fact crazy expensive.

I know, right? I just booked 5 days for 15k UR points. No regrets.

Planning a trip to denver in Aug and my buds want to drive. Looking at flights, tell me about Frontier. It's super cheap

It's basically RyanAir now. Or it was when I flew it like two years ago and decided I would avoid it if at all possible. But it's a pretty cheap short flight, so why not.

I don't really know what this means. Extra fees for everything?

It'll work out great for you if you're in a situation where the flights would be ideal but if Frontier decided not to fly them, you'd be able to ride with your bros instead.

Yeah, I need to make sure we are actually going tho. Trip plans with this group fall through more often than kc kat paks

Oh yeah, I'm in no rush. Just saying that if you do this, to make sure you have an adequate contingency plan because since they became a sub-viakoffman airline, my experience is that they're 0% on actually flying the planes they sell tickets for.

frontiers the one with super cheap flights outta Denver but then makes up their money through your luggage right? Mrs. yla actually got us out of paying for all of those fees by using her non active duty family member military ID, was great. god bless our troops

Trim · « **Reply #61 on:** June 23, 2016, 01:56:55 PM »

Yeah, lib, if you fly and have buddies who drive, throw all your non-essential crap that you can't fit in your pockets into your buddies' car.

frontier used to be great

you're going to pay as much for your luggage as you do the flight lib

star seed 7 · « **Reply #64 on:** June 23, 2016, 03:00:20 PM »

What luggage?

Mc's article said under seat is still free. It's 3 days in denver, I think a backpack will be plenty

I have a meeting in 6 minutes. Can I book a rental before then? Tune it later to find out.

this quote is hilarious because if an iPhone app was the only way slobber could rent a car he wouldn't be able to in 60 minutes, let alone 6 min.

A 10 hour drive to the mountains can be a lot of fun. The drive home blows.

We drive but it's only about 8 hours for us, and I've got lots of kids so airfare + car rental gets expensive.

Where are you going in the Rockies?

pretty much Rocky Mountain National park area, and just me and my daughter, so no, I don't think the drive through Kansas/Eastern Colorado will be fun

Estes Park and RMNP are incredible. It's basically the perfect summer mountain vacation. I bet you and your daughter would have run on the road trip, too.

Fail. Things that hung me up:

1. I had to consolidate my Chase UR points from 3 accounts to 1.
2. I needed to double check my flight times for pick-up/drop-off times.
3. I spent time looking up if the Rav4 is standard all-wheel drive
4. Then I got scared and was trying to think if I could even fit an elk in a Rav4. I'm not tying my prize meat to the roof.

I got a message leaving a plane that my ride wasn't going to be there. By the time I was out of jetway, I had a car. smdh
