MCO-BWI seems like a crazy addition considering all the competition currently on that route. Considering you have Spirit flying up to 3 flights a day and Southwest flying 10-14 flights a day, I don't have a clue on how Frontier can make a 3x weekly flight work out.

Connecting pax maybe? Travelers loyal to Frontier?

Yes, but BWI is a brand new market for them. So there are not really any loyal passengers in the Baltimore area yet and the only connection would be from Denver, where Frontier already serves DEN-MCO 2 to 3 times per day. Now, given that they have been serving IAD for a while now and they do have a loyal customer base in Philadelphia, they may be able to make it work, however, I still do not see them being able to pull this one off with all of the competition.

The days when Aeroflot announced IL-62 service to MCO, Saudia with 743 service, KLM with 744 to Mexico and being able to fly an MD-11, L-1011, 777, 767 between MCO and ATL....now were talking.... thats exciting!

I know New Englanders love Florida and the Orlando area but that seems like a lot of seats to one city, especially since Frontier has loaded an A321 into the system as making the aircraft for the flight.
