Frontier is in the process of modernizing its fleet, and among other features, the remodel includes live television delivered to each seat.

Not only will each seat be equipped with DIRECTV, but Ascent and Summit elite members will enjoy free access to the programming. While this addition doesn’t warrant front-page coverage, it is a nice feature for those who’ve seen one to many “Everybody Loves Raymond” episodes.

All in all, Early Returns members have it pretty good: Mileage requirements for award travel are lower than industry-standard levels, and now there’s free TV with 24 channels from which to choose.
