It's a $20 diff between Frontier and American Airlines to fly to Miami (going for fun-paying out of pocket). Should I suck it up and do Frontier or go with AA?

Id have to actually do the math, but it would have to be a huge difference $ wise to consider spirit/frontier/or God forbid RyanAir like in the 3-400$ or more range.

See the bag comment - they charge more than $20 for carry-ons

@A1 Could be argued 😊

I've never flown any of the non big name airlines - so really don't know. That's why I'm asking...

Don't choose frontier or spirit. you'll regret it

You're questioning over $20? Did you just get laid off or something?

Do you even fly? You don't already have your preferred airline? I'm a little confused now

No need for any of the rude comments guys. I'm not a traveling consultant. Been staffed locally since I started. I have no loyalties to airlines yet, but generally travel Delta or United. I was asking, as a serious question because to be honest- I have never flown any of these low tier airlines. I didn't know they charge for carry ons and such. Hence the question and thank you for your input. And no I didn't get laid off- but if both airlines leave the same time and arrive the same time then I think it's a valid question if AA is worth the $20 more.

Thank you to those who answered. AA it is! 😘

It's cheaper to pay

I had an 11.5 hour delay coming home from Ft Lauderdale on frontier a few months ago- I would pay the $20....

AA. Get some self respect

OP AA isn't low-tier tho...

A1- never said it was. I meant that I've never flown Spirit or Frontier types of airlines. So I wouldn't know if they really are that much worse.
