8:31 am
eventually a change over to rain. then tonight we are down in the 20's by that time, things will have dried out but we could get light snow at very tail end of the storm north and west as things get colder, bob kelly but that is later on. the let's deal with this morning. >> here's an example of an intersection a couple folks reported icy spots. 202 and route one at painters crossing. all of the major roadways are in jammo mode right now. i wouldn't worry about major roadways because we are in the bumper to bumper mode. secondary roads, side streets, your driveways, that first step when you open up the the front door and even for little ones hopefully the schools with the two hour delays, some of them had a two hour delay. they have taken time to put down rock salt in the school yard ape on the steps. here's a live look at 422 coming out of the royersford and a live look at the schuylkill expressway working your way from the boulevard out toward belmont. half an hour delay inbound on the schuylkill. south on i-95 just under 40 minutes in the city. new jersey transit. they are cross honoring their
8:32 am
passes system wide today because of the weather and we're still hanging with one hour and 22 minute delays at philadelphia international. that is on the arrivals. the that causes a domino effect for departures. the rest of the day is just going down the tunes here at philly international. maybe and alex, back to you. >> all right. lets punch up a shot of philadelphia airport. i didn't know we had a wiper on that camera. >> it makes sense. >> okay. so frontier airlines is now flying out of that airport, to miami, orlando, tam pennsylvania, cancun, charlotte, chicago, atlanta, at low, low fares. as cheap as $19.01 way. but they are already sold out. so mark murphy what do we do about it now. >> you pay a a little bit more but get a good deal. what i love about frontier coming in and going into these different destinations. it will force legacy carrier
8:33 am
that dominate the philadelphia market u.s. airways, soon to be american, right. it forces them to bring down fares on those particular routes. >> we like to hear that. >> that is fantastic. >> think bit, industry consolidated in to four major carriers controlling 85 percent of domestic traffic. we have been waiting for this to happen. >> when i hear there is low fares i'm thinking whether if i check a bag, bring a bag, if i want a aisle seat. are there other fees. >> is there always fees. what i like about frontier's new pricing plan. they have classic fair which gives you a refundable ticket. you pay more and change it, refund it, et cetera. they give you a check bag. they give you more seating room. >> five to 7 inches more. they give you a package price for more, that is a good thing. >> i have not flown frontier in 25 or 30 years. i like that they have all big planes. i have claustrophobia. >> well, we will lock you in the planes.
8:34 am
>> are they good. >> they are a great airline. they do a great job. you know what they are low cost. but they give so frills because you got low cost, no frills. they have the prerekline seats. >> they don't feed you. >> no. >> they hit with you everything. >> you get up front great price. we as consumers are looking for that cheap price. we take spirit air at cheap price. they give thaw option. frontier is giving you low fairs, a premium to spirit but they are giving you more benefits good where do they go. >> they have daily service out of philadelphia starting to atlanta, charlotte, and chicago o'hare, but look at their route network. their main hup is denver. you can get to places by connecting through denver or going south, like we're talking about. >> my daughter just in moved to denver. this would be perfect. i can see jack, my new grandson. >> how exciting. >> jackies my son's name. >> look at the that.
8:35 am
>> mike and mark show and jack and jack show. >> yes. >> when it comes to these fares, the fact that pat gallon in center city bought his ticket. he was going to chicago. round trip $88. is this something we'll just because they are new and they want to get our attention. >> number one it is a teaser, teaser fair, so take advantage of teaser fares. and number two, out of trenton short ride up the road here you can get fares. i just check in the next two weeks from charlotte, round trip, and, as low as $40.01 way. so guess what. >> they will dry up fast, if you are looking to take them right now. >> as low fares get bought up, the fares go up. always better to buy now as opposed to last minute. >> ready for it, my shocking news, over weekend, and, new york times, is there an article in there, it and top point to visit, to travel to, in the world for 2015. i think milan is number one.
