My wife and I had the ... ahem ... pleasure of flying with Frontier
last February (BWI-DEN-PHX) and were thrilled (not) to be able to
board the aircraft outside and breathe in the cool Rocky Mountain
air, with a touch of Jet A, in sub-zero wind chills during a
snowstorm. Attached is what the stairs looked like. I didn't do my
homework before the flight and was in for quite the surprise when
there was no jet bridge at Denver.

Frontier Airlines tells passengers: Forget jet bridges - board
outside in the snow
Frontier Airlines raised eyebrows three years ago when they said
they didn’t want to use jet bridges anymore at their home base in
Denver. Now they say they want to move “as close to 100% ground
loading as possible” across all of their airports over the next
few years, calling jet bridges “the kiss of death” for fast
turns. Denver opened a new A-East facility with 14 aircraft
positions purpose-built with Frontier that fully opened a year
ago. They were already operating out of Austin’s South Terminal,
which doesn’t have jetbridges. Gary Leff/View From the Wing
