Thanks for the reply! I might try them for a weekend trip since I have an AP but for my 2 long trips I’ll be staying with Southwest for sure!
These airlines (Frontier, Alliegent, Spirit) have limited schedules. So if they cancel a flight it could be days to reschedule.

This is exactly why we decided not to use them. There is only one flight per day out of our airport, so if it's cancelled you'd have to wait at least a day for the next one. When you're paying what we are to stay at WDW, it's just not worth the risk.
We flew them from Boston to MCO. As others have said they were so much cheaper than any other airline. I have a ton of SW points but chose not to use them as their flights were so expensive. We just checked one bag for the two of us and bought the cheapest seats. It was still under $100 RT per person. The staff was really friendly and I wasn't expecting much but they were great. Tray table was small but it actually worked really well as a stand for my IPad. It was only a 3 hour flight so we didn't need to eat or drink anything.
katie, Frontier doesn't fly out of Boston. Did you mean Providence?
This was our experience from Tampa to Buffalo last weekend. We were pleased. I’ve flown Southwest and Jetlblue many many times. I would rank the boarding and seat process higher than Southwest . The staff I encountered were professional and courteous and the plane was clean and in good shape. I was pleasantly surprised.We used them out of Cleveland. The flight was on time and service was great. I was thrilled to get a cheap ticket only 2 weeks before a spur of the moment trip to WDW. I paid for one checked bag as it was a quick trip. I have to say boarding was quick because there were not many overhead bags and getting off the plane was even faster. I have friends who use them all the time. Nonstops out of our area are few and other airline prices are crazy.
FWIW, I didn't find the seats any more cramped than those on our United flight.
