Eagle Resident Missy Kraft had never flown out of the Eagle County Regional Airport before Monday. But she had her bag packed and was ready to fly Frontier Airlines to Denver.
Kraft was ready to catch the 40-ish-minute flight to Denver so she could catch another Frontier flight to Arizona, where her daughter is ready to give birth to twins.
“It’s kind of a last-minute flight,” Kraft said. “It’s amazing,” she said of the flight. “It’s saved me a whole day. I was able to work earlier. I didn’t have to drive to Denver.”
While Kraft was waiting for the outbound flight on the Frontier Airbus A320, the inbound flight had 62 passengers, most of whom connected from other destinations and then caught a flight to Eagle County. Those inbound passengers were greeted with cookies, cupcakes and various little gifts, ranging from sunglasses to beer koozies.
