NEED YOUR HELP TO KEEP LOW BUSINESS FARES TO WEST COAST
What can you and your company do to help keep lower air fares at McGhee Tyson Airport?
It is important to be aware that Frontier's competitors will cut their fares to be lower than Frontier's fares so that you will continue to choose them as the lowest fare. This is only temporary and those fares will immediately go back up if they are successful at driving Frontier out of our market. The competitors do not like the low fare competition and want to go back to charging you the hundreds more dollars you were paying before. Therefore, if your company uses a travel agent to book your travel, make sure they are aware that you want to support Frontier and to book travel for you on Frontier, even if the price is a little higher. Remember all the money you are really saving by having the competition in our market.
Corporate travel policies can also work against the low fare carrier for the same reasons. If your travel policy dictates using the lowest possible fare, it can keep you from supporting the low fare carrier because the competitors are undercutting them and trying to drive them out of business in our market. For this reason, review your current travel policies and make sure they do not eliminate the low fare carrier from consideration.
