Since Spirit and Frontier are now both flying to SXM, I am worried this will mean less overall flights and prices will go up. We'll see, I guess.

Wow. Two crappy airlines merging. That's amazing. I still remember when Spirit stranded me in PR with a 40 inch
tv set.
Good luck

Yes, like I said above, I'm a "glass half empty" gal with regard to airline mergers..

Although the CEO’s claim this will benefit customers I think you are right…fewer options and higher prices

Maybe it's just me but I do not consider either of those airlines as an "option"....

Since the Frontier route to sxm is new, i bet they will cut one of them out completely. The only good news out of this merger is there no longer will be any controversy about which airline is the worst airline. LOL Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Only option would be to avoid them at all costs. 2 losers won't make a winner.

The worst airline? The annual Wall Street Journal ranking has JetBlue as the worst airline in the US, below both Spirit and Frontier.

Spirit and Frontier both currently have nonstop flights from south Florida, so I bet one of them will go away. Frontier currently also flies from Orlando. Hopefully they will keep that flight, as it is the ONLY nonstop from central Florida.

Bahston--that's pretty interesting. I guess Jet Blue is just a regular airline, like everyone else. Which is what I thought all along.
