The Cheapest Way To Get From Tampa To New York Is Via…

Last night I was on ITA Matrix looking up the cheapest fares between Tampa and New York. The cheapest one-way ticket was $105, which seemed super reasonable. Great, who am I flying, Delta or JetBlue?

Nope, the cheapest ticket was actually on Frontier... via Denver!
