UPDATE: We flew Frontier direct to Colorado Springs for Parents Weekend - It went PERFECTLY! Both flights were actually 15 minutes early - and it was so much less stressful flying direct, and not having to deal with the I 25 traffic to Denver. Will definitely fly this route again.

Point taken - and I was so excited about this parent's weekend option - we can still try to fill the flight for Parent's weekend so it won't get cancelled! Thank you for all of your info

Uh, oh, how far in advanced were you notified of the cancellation?

Frontier Airlines will begin running non stop flights from Phoenix Sky Harbor directly to and from Colorado Springs this summer. The drive back to Denver airport after parent's weekend last year had extremely heavy traffic, due to Labor Day, so we are looking forward to flying directly out of...

Hang in there, Angelic - we all understand, and it will be worth the wait - consider it character building! Do have a plan B, but don't get discouraged if you have to wait until March- as I will be the first to admit I got discouraged numerous times! My DS took it all in stride, and yes, he did...

Congrats to all of the class of 19. My son called me today immediately following the ceremony! He didnt think he'd get to keep his phone - and thinks he'll get it back parent's weekend. I wished I could've been there, but thankfully his roommate's parents were there. My son sounds great, is...

OH , thank you! Can't wait to hear from him! And emails, too! WOO HOO!

Does anyone know the pattern for In Processing report times? For example I've seen an 8:15 report time for a Cobra and a 10:15 report time for a Flying Tiger. Do all Cobras report at 8:15 and all Flying Tigers at 10:15?

Thanks, Wishful. Is this only for Colorado parents or all CO 2019 parents? Also, do you know if the parents will get to find out which flight DS is in on I Day before the final good bye? The portal only states the squadron.

Yes, Bailey - it was an amazing experience! Navigating the weather made it so much more exciting, ha ha. Wanted to find and meet you, but there were quite a few appointees - didn't want to ask everyone, "Are you Bailey?" We even caught the baseball the was cancelled the next day, toured Garden...

I just left a voice mail message on the 1-800 # on the appointee tour registration form. Can't believe this weather! I haven't been in snow like this on 20+ years!

Yum! DH and I will be at the April 17th tour with DS. Can't wait!
