Wait, you can take these through security? Buy them after? Where?

They are perfectly fine to take through security. They are less than 3.2 oz. So no problem. I do it all the time.

Typical mini-bottles are 100 ml. I bring several on each trip. May or may not want a drink, but if you do, a mixer is free. Just be discrete when you mix your drink. Some flight attendants frown upon the practice.

This is the key right here. If you're expecting five-star service on Frontier or Spirit, you're only going to sorely disappoint yourself. I know a lot of pilots at both places and they are a top-notch...flew with them at my prior airline. If you go into the trip knowing you're on your own for a LOT of stuff, it's a fantastic way to save some bucks and get someplace fairly cheaply.

YMMV, depending on how demanding you are.

I had no idea. Not a frequent flyer, maybe 2-3 times a year. I'll be doing this in May

Just heed dlc444's advice about being discreet on the plane.

Over the past two years I have flown to Europe, Alaska, Fla, and Georgia. Having flown Spirt and my family have flown Frontier several times I do not have great expectations. You get what you pay for.


YellowJacket: Varsity is the place they mentioned.

^^^^If you go to The Varsity, make sure you stay in close proximity to a bathroom because the runnin’ shits is a possibility.

I’ve taken that flight from “Princeton/Trenton” parking is easy, only 2 gates, easy airport but its never been on time, make sure you have a charger and snacks but they do have a small bar/ rest once through security. As others have said, it’s a little better flight if you pay the extra 10, enjoy Berry, nice hiking trails on the campus if you are into it

Enjoy the trip. Lots of great things to see and do in the area.
I came down here from your part of the world almost 50 years ago and decided to stay.

As a GT alum, I've eaten at the Varsoty hundreds of times. It does not upset my stomach, but maybe I am immune. There is actually a Varsity in the ATL airport on the international terminal.

But yes, do eat there. It is a fun experience even if you don't love the food.

We fly Allegiant once or twice a year. Never any issues. We like the smaller airports too.
