Skiing near Denver April 24-25

$38 cost is cause I had a $100 voucher and friend had a $200 voucher and we got 2 RTs for a total of $338 so I paid the $38 overage. Probably worth it just for the FF miles.

 

Free room in Ft Collins while we are there. Aspen too far. What about Copper, is that a decent late season bet too?

Doubtful that copper will be open then. Website shows till the 16th..so even if they extend a week you're out of luck. Fort Collins is an hour north of Denver and about 2 hours from Loveland and ABasin. You might be better off getting a hotel room in Dillon or Silverthorne to save the 4 hours of round trip driving each day.

Yeah my mistake, dates are 22nd and 23rd

Now looking to get 26-28 days this season, blowing away my former record of 21.

Way to get after it!! Are you flying out on Thursday?

Frontier....lol. 50% off and 50% chance of cancelation.

I wonder what baggage fees are on Frontier. A reason I like southwest when I'm not on atomic Jeffs elite status with United is the free baggage. I haven't booked my trip yet for the 11th-18th cause flight prices and times are all over the place. Rental car is cheap I believe $350 for a midsize SUV for a week from Alamo. After that prob not taking any vacation time until July.

Frontiers seats are cheap. Baggage fees are funny. They charge for carry on baggage. Lol.

I think spirit does as well...there's actually Jet Blue flights to Denver but none of them are direct. I want to fly virgin airlines again sometime soon. Maybe to LA. I flew Virgin to London years ago and that's the best airline I've flown and they have a new premium economy that looks legit.

frontier is $30 for check in, $35 for carry on.  most ghetto airline i have ever flown in...the seats are 30% smaller than normal airline seats.  they are not regular airline seats with floating seat cushions, they are hard plastic office chairs with a small layer of padding on top.  you also have to pay for water lol.  still would fly them again cause they are cheap

So it seems they are only good if you are flying somewhere with only the clothes on your back. Got it. $50 each way for bags on a ski trip kinda defeats the purpose of the cheap flight. I'll stick with AA or Southwest.

Just gonna bring the "personal item" (8x14x18) they let you bring for free and rent ski gear out there.

 

Flying out Friday at 7pm, flying back early Monday red eye. Lightning trip, missing no work, but for $38 plus lift tix, ski rental and half a car rental it will be a fun weekend with my buddies.

 

Wonder if I can wear my helmet onto the plane.

i had one check on and one carry on.

 

So $130 extra round trip. Would be $190 round trip for baggage for me on Frontier. No thanks even if Southwest was $500

ya frontier not as good of a deal if you had baggage.  even with baggage, frontier was still the cheapest option compared to other airlines for my denver trip

TP4 how much did you spend on airport parking? Like $140?

 

we took uber from mark's girls place in philly to the airport, then she picked us up when we got back.  mark was oringinally supposed to stay 2 days more, but changed his flight to come back with me.  saved my ass cause i would have had to lug my stuff on the train to conshohocken.  my dad offered numerous times to pick me up from the airport, but i would feel bad making him drive 1 hour each way to get me.

Nice I don't ask people to drive me to the airport because I don't want to do it for them. Economy lot at philly is $14 a day. Economy lot at Newark is $18 per day but I use the parking spot which is a little cheaper and more convenient.
