Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

  Frontier doesn't have the same nationwide brand recognition as Southwest, so it is harder for the company to go "cold turkey" on third-party distribution. However, Frontier has been attempting to drive more traffic to its own website since late last year. This has included initiatives such as giving fewer frequent flier miles to customers who book through travel agencies, offering advance seat assignments only to customers booking on Frontier's website, and charging higher fees to customers booking through travel agencies. Frontier also stopped selling tickets through Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE  ) earlier this year, after the two could not agree on the terms of a new distribution agreement.
