I want to book tickets with Frontier Airlines at the airport. How can I check to see if there are flights taking off today and their times so I know there will be an agent at checkin?

Search flights from the given airport, you should be able to get a list and filter by airline.

You can use ITA Matrix and search for flights from your airport to anywhere in the US (copy and paste the 'all US airports' list from the wiki here) and then on the results page filter by airline to see only Frontier flights.

That's definitely more complex and I'd advise to uncheck "Only show flights and prices with available seats"

How soon before a flight do airlines cancel the flight due to weather conditions? Two scenarios:
A) If they're really not sure and want to wait to the "last minute" (When is the "last minute"?)
B) If they are pretty sure it will be bad weather. Is there an average time when they cancel?

In case A I’d assume they don’t cancel till they’re sure.
On B I can answer that it depends on the aircraft (and route?). In December, my flight on a E175 was cancelled 3 days before the storm, while the larger planes were still scheduled, and only cancelled a few hours before departure.

Lol. Sometimes not until the plane has departed from the gate.

Thank you both. So if I can't make a flight I really need to wait to cancel to three hours or so before takeoff just in case they will be cancelling (when I prefer the refund instead of a travel bank credit).

Can anyone direct me to the (updated) cancellation policy chart that Dan posted on DDMS. Search isn't bringing it up

I think all airlines can. You may just have to call in for that.

Have 3 one way tickets on AA from MIA to JFK departing tomorrow (2/2). However, I am concerned that the nyc airports won't be open tomorrow either due to the snow and that aa won't have room on any flights on Wednesday (It's the dream, I know..but have to get back asap). Any suggestions on what I can do? Does anyone know if AA schedules extra flights to make up for all the cancelled ones?

You normally have to pay with the card to get the free bags. So if no money from ticket went on you prob won't get them. UA is pretty strict regarding this policy.

Try paying for the taxes with your UA CC I remember reading that it worked, but dont quote me on it

as of a couple of years ago if you pay the taxes with the united cc per the terms you should get free luggage however multiple dp that it did not work automatically like with united mileage tickets
i know some people that were able to call and get the luggage charges refunded

Just boarded a AA flight in LGA and they had TSA agents (like 6) checking all boarding passes and ID's.... Anyone ever have anything similar?
