For a two-hour flight, one backpack will work for us. Maybe we add another $120 for two checked suitcases. Still, we're looking at $320 all-in. We can bring our own soft drinks and snacks for the short flight. We flew Jet Blue two years ago. Three of us (our daughter was under 2 and flew for free), cost $640, which was a good deal at the time, and we did not have to pay for luggage, drinks, etc. But I'm going for half this time with one extra person, so I'll take it, even without a soft drink or WiFi for two hours.

We also booked a trip to Orlando in November using this sale. Even with all of the add-ons, for a family of four this is still way cheaper than the same dates on United or another airline. We signed up for their frequent flier program to get the slightly cheaper rate for a checked bag - and we'll only check two. Don't need carryons (you can still have a free personal item). Leaves more money for the Mouse.

I still think that even with the extra cost i-e bag, drink,ect.. It is still cheaper than booking a ticket from another airline, I did a comparison for one route and there was a $300 diff. between the Frontier fare and the one on Kayak which means that you are still saving money~
