Despite Frontier fall, area prices won't rise
By SALLY STREFF

Although a few Lawrence air travelers were inconvenienced after Frontier Airlines halted all flights Aug. 24, local travel agents say the airline's failure probably won't affect the cost or availability of air travel.
"Obviously, anytime an airline with upwards of 17,000 passengers a day ceases operations, there's going to be problems," said John Novotny, manager of Maupintour Travel Service. 831 Massachusetts St.
But most travel agents said they thought that the loss of Frontier would not affect ticket prices.
"There is enough competition in most of the markets that Frontier served." Novotny said. "With deregulation as it exists today, there will always be room for someone to make a go at it."
But Sandy Strand, a travel consultant for Sunflower Travel Service, 704 Massachusetts St., said fares to certain cities, such as from Kansas
City. Mo... to Denver, might increa
City, Mo., to Denver, might increase. Frontier, based in Denver, had offered a low fare from Kansas City to Denver, prompting other airlines to lower the fare, she said. Originally, the fare had been $39 one-way, but the fare increased over the last few months, she said.
Andy Strasser, vice president of Ports Unlimited Travel Service, 601 Kasold Drive, said he thought any increases in fares would stem from higher fuel prices and a need for more maintenance.
Strasser said the Kansas City to Denver flight had been underpriced because of price wars. Because Frontier offered fares to some places for less money, its failure might force some travelers to pay higher prices.
In some cases, the difference in price could be as much as $100, she said.
Ruth Hughes, owner of Holiday Travel Service, 2112 W. 25th St., said travelers on Frontier had to pay for amenities offered by the airline.
