My family and I have booked flights to Las Vegas in June on Frontier Airlines. What are the chances the company will still be flying?

These are trying times indeed for airline passengers, not to mention carriers including Frontier, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this month. Unlike other recent Chapter 11 victims (e.g., ATA and Skybus), however, Frontier intends to fly a full schedule during its period of financial reorganization. There's no way of knowing for certain what the future will hold, but it's worth noting that Delta, United and US Airways have all filed for bankruptcy in the past six years (US Airways twice), and all have continued to fly.
