Frontier Adds Tarmac Transfer For Elite Den Members

Frontier Airlines, one of the nation's ultra low-cost carriers, has added a new perk that will make a lot of Denver passengers happy.

At its Denver hub, Frontier has been more aggressive in targeting customers from other airlines. In a bid to offer their own elite customers a greater experience and ensure they make their connections, elite Frontier guests on short connections might find private transportation waiting for them planeside.

Frontier and DEN members will be greeted by a private driver at the jetbridge on May 31st.

The Takeoff Nap was able to catch up with two lucky Frontier elites.

Lance Davis is a marketing executive for a typewriter ribbon manufacturer. I was able to get to my next gate on time.

I wasn't sure at first. I received a text message from Frontier telling me to go out the side door on the jet bridge, but I have received air drops before that, so I just kind of took a risk. I looked outside and there was my car. I had a nice driver and learned about jam bands on my way to my next gate.

Frontier representatives mentioned that they still have more to learn about how to properly offer the service, especially since it requires drivers to exit the airport pickup line for what amounted to a $6.45 fare, but they were adamant about offering the service and finding a way to make it work.
