No More DEN-GDL on Frontier
I was daydreaming about a return visit to Denver, to visit some friends, revisit some dearly-missed old haunts and best of all, take in some much-needed Ellyn Rucker.
In the hopes that that a shockingly low fare might be available that would make me an idiot to not do it, I looked up random round-trip dates online at a site that draws results from several different sources. The lowest fare was through American Airlines, but after a terrible experience we had with American Airlines returning from the United States last May, I avoid them at all costs. Besides, it required a stop in Dallas, and I knew that Frontier had a nonstop between Guadalajara and Denver.
"Was" is the operative word here. The site I use includes Frontier, but none of their flights were in the results. I went to their site and did a search, looked at their route map, and finally wrote in to their customer service asking if they had discontinued that flight.
Their response arrived this morning:
John, Good to hear from you. We’re happy to help. Frontier Airlines has discontinued service to Guadalajara . This decision was due to high fuel prices and lack of consumer demands. I will pass your comments to the appropriate manager to take into consideration when reviewing our schedules. Thank you for visiting Frontier Airlines.com.

I hate airlines.

That's pretty cheeky of them not to waste fuel flying an empty plane between those cities until you decide to board.
