With Spirit Airlines abruptly halting operations overnight, Frontier Airlines officially stands as America’s largest remaining ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC). In this video, we take you along on our flight from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to New York LaGuardia (LGA) to find out what it really feels like to fly the last true budget airline left in the skies. Before boarding at DFW, local Texas news (CBS/ABC) caught up with us at the terminal to get our raw reactions as dedicated budget travelers to the sudden end of Spirit Airlines. From there, we take you through the complete, unvarnished Frontier flight experience: • The Boarding & Bag Sizer Test: Why we travel personal-item only (backpacks), whether gate agents made us test our bags in the bag sizer, and how to avoid extra baggage fees. • Seat & Cabin Review: A full look at the slimline seats, padding comfort on a 3.5-hour flight, seatback ergonomics, and what you can (or can't) fit in the seatback pocket. • Under-Seat Legroom Tips: Exactly how to position your backpack under the seat in front of you to maximize foot space and legroom. • Frontier "Fly Bar" In-Flight Menu: A complete breakdown of Frontier’s buy-on-board Fly Bar menu, including snack combos, drinks, bottomless hot coffee, and full pricing. • Flight & Crew Experience: Friendly crew interactions, a scenic takeoff out of Texas, cruising cross-country, and a landing approach into New York City.  Is budget travel still worth it in the US?
