Most airlines restrict their promotional fares to slack hours or days, but almost all of Frontier's are effective seven days a week. That even includes a bargain vacation fare, available to persons who present documents to show that they live outside Frontier's territory.

Car owners have had ample supplies of fuel furnished by the kindred regime of South Africa. And new factories, created since the crisis to take up the slack in imports, are producing more of everything from ballpoint pens to refrigerators.
