United to end nonstops to popular Florida cities

Perhaps it’s the arrival of Frontier Airlines in Cleveland that has partially caused  it, but United has announced it will end its popular nonstops to Fort Myers, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale on April 7 and nonstops to Dallas/Fort Worth  will end March 5.
Frontier Airlines flights to the popular Florida cities are about $100 cheaper than United’s but when you add the $30 fee each way for carryon bags, the difference is much less. I’ve never flown Frontier and consider myself a loyal United flyer, but if I visit my daughter in Tampa this spring I’ll certainly learn more.
Spirit Airlines, another low cost carrier with extra fees for carryon, also will begin flights from Cleveland to Tampa on Jan. 15.
Frontier, meanwhile, has dropped flights to Seattle and more recently announced it will soon end its nonstops to New York’s LaGuardia,  Washington-Dulles and Trenton Mercer in New Jersey.
I’ve fine tuned my packing skills to travel with a carryon almost everywhere and for any amount of time, so now I don’t know what I will do.
Near the airport on Maui there’s a great secondhand clothing store where you can buy what you need when you arrive and donate it back when you leave. Maybe it’s an idea other areas could adopt. And perhaps a rent-a-coat-and boots concession would  be well received in places where winter needs to be considered.
I’m not going to stop traveling and I’ll mourn the loss of United flights to Florida but obviously some more new flying tactics need to be developed.
