Frontier Airlines (yea, the one that just announced fees for carry-on bags) is making a big push for the Washington, DC market and just announced 14 non-stop routes from Washington Dulles airport.

<a href="https://runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2014/05/Frontier-15.jpg"></a> Ft. Lauderdale for roughly the price of a movie ticket? Sure!

To celebrate, they're offering a limited number of $15 fares for flights through November 19, 2014 but purchased by 11:59pm Eastern tonight, May 13, 2014. However, their website appears to have crashed, because I haven't been able to price any of these out and they just Tweeted they are having technical difficulties. So if you want in, you may want to start trying now so that once things go back online you can snatch up some pretty cheap fares.

<a href="https://runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2014/05/Frontier-Tweet.png"></a> Tech fail.. did they not think $15 fares would be popular?

Update at 4:26PM ET I was able to price out a one-way Dulles to Las Vegas flight for November for $14.99 total. Not too bad!

<a href="https://runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2014/05/Frontier-1499-flight.png"></a> At this price you can afford to lose a little in Vegas!

If you're looking to boost your Frontier miles, the BarclayCard Frontier Airlines World Mastercard gives 40,000 points after $500 spent within three months and 2x points on all Frontier purchases.

Why We Chose It

There’s a lot to love about the Amex Gold. It’s a fan favorite thanks to its fantastic bonus-earning rates at restaurants worldwide and at U.S. supermarkets. If you’re hitting the skies soon, you’ll also earn bonus Membership Rewards points on travel. Paired with up to $120 in Uber Cash annually (for U.S. Uber rides or Uber Eats orders, card must be added to Uber app and you can redeem with any Amex card), up to $120 in annual dining statement credits to be used with eligible partners, an up to $84 Dunkin’ credit each year at U.S. Dunkin Donuts and an up to $100 Resy credit annually, there’s no reason that foodies shouldn’t add the Amex Gold to their wallet. These benefits alone are worth more than $400, which offsets the $325 annual fee on the Amex Gold card. Enrollment is required for select benefits.
