Frontier has a lot going for it right now. I think IF you live in there hubs you could get a lot value. First there credit card allows 2 free checked bags. Spend $3571 on the card as a gold elite to earn Platinum and get companion pass. Lastly they have Go Wild for $600 a year which allows day before flight bookings for the price of taxes and fees.
