Yes we know that Frontier has $46 round-trips ($120 with bag/seat bundle). We covered Frontier in a separate post.
These will be more expensive than Frontier even considering bag/seat fees, but keep in mind that even if you do the bundle on Frontier, your seat pitch is still 28-inches max. On Southwest it’s 31-inches / United 30-inches.
United/Southwest calendar availability is better than Frontier’s. More weekends dates and more flights per day.

These have a 4-hour connection in LAX, but I think the extra time is worth it at this price. Use the example date list on our website to pull up fares with the shortest connections in this price range.
