AirlineRatings.com Names Air New Zealand As Its Safest Airline For 2024

14.12.2023 - 20:23 / thepointsguy.com / Frontier Airlines / Airlines
Frontier Airlines announced seven new routes on Thursday, with Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Dallas-Fort Worth emerging as big winners in the news.
Pittsburgh landed four new routes, three of which fly to major hubs of rival legacy carriers.
Among those is Philadelphia, where Frontier will add an intra-Pennsylvania route that will go up against American Airlines; American operates a fortress hub across the state in The City of Brotherly Love.

Frontier also will fly from Pittsburgh to another of American's fortress hubs — Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — and to Atlanta, the top Delta Air Lines hub. Southwest also flies from Pittsburgh to Atlanta and Dallas, though its flights are to Dallas Love Field (DAL).
With Frontier's fourth route from Pittsburgh — to Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) — the ultra-low-cost carrier will go up against both American and budget startup Breeze.
Frontier has served two of its just-announced Pittsburgh routes previously, according to schedule data from Cirium. The airline last flew between Atlanta and Pittsburgh in 2016; it briefly flew between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in May and June of 2020, during the depths of the pandemic.

Meanwhile, DFW landed two new routes in Frontier's expansion, with flights to Jacksonville, Florida, joining the route to Pittsburgh.
Cleveland landed just one new route in Frontier's announcement, but the service to Montego Bay, Jamaica, is noteworthy in that it will give the Ohio airport a new international destination. Frontier will be the only carrier flying the route.
Introductory fares on the new routes begin as low as $19 one-way, though Frontier charges extra for nearly everything beyond a spot on the plane.

Incredible Japan Travel: Surprises, Secrets, Pleasures And Treasures
Although it has been years since I’ve traveled in mesmerizing Tokyo, my memories are as vivid as though they had been sparked yesterday—pleasures aswirl in unique flavors and noises, creativity and ingenuity. So when luxury publisher Assouline released the new book Tokyo Chic, I dove into its 312 lush-paper-stock pages, with more than 200 photographs and illustrations, which are bound in an outsize (10-by-13-inches, 6.4-pound) format—a hefty hardcover wrapped in silk. The brainchild of Andrea Fazzari, whose deft imagery and words are love letters to the inimitable capital, Tokyo Chic showcases a massively enthralling—yet strikingly intimate—city. Currently based in Tokyo, Fazzari is a James Beard Award-winning photographer, author and restaurant maven with notable backgrounds in fashion and film. Born in New York City, she has lived in France, Hong Kong, Italy, Spain and Thailand—and speaks four languages. What a sophisticated guide to have at your armchair traveler’s fingertips! Indeed, this coffee table tome would make a treasured holiday gift for those who have already vacationed in Japan or simply dream of doing so.
