Frontier Airlines won’t offer you business class award tickets to the Seychelles.

And Frontier’s elite program offers real benefits – top tier 100,000 mile flyers see no fees at all, which is impressive with a fee-based ultra-low cost carrier.

Frontier Airlines announced today that their 156 Airbus planes on order, which begin delivering in March, will receive Recaro’s slimline SL3710 seats.

Frontier claims the sufferiing, though, is good for you because it’s good for the planet. Is that true?
