Frontier is making it easier to jet around the Caribbean with several new routes from Puerto Rico, and is celebrating with flights starting at less than $60.
The low-cost airline is adding nonstop service between San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport and both Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic and Barbados. The Dominican Republic flight will launch on June 14 and the Barbados flight will launch on July 3.
To celebrate, the airline is offering fares starting at just $59, which must be booked by 11:59 p.m. ET on Apr. 29. These discounted tickets are valid for travel on select days of the week from June 14 through Oct. 31 and exclude several blackout dates, including July 1, July 4 to 8, July 11 to 15, July 18 to 22, July 25 to 29, Sept. 3, and Oct. 11 to 14.
“As we anticipate an exciting and potentially record-breaking summer travel season, we’re thrilled to further expand our route map,” Josh Flyr, the vice president of network and operations design at Frontier Airlines, said in a statement. “More destinations served means more affordable and convenient travel options for consumers across the U.S., Caribbean and beyond.”
In addition to the Puerto Rico flights, Frontier will launch nonstop service from Charlotte Douglas International Airport to Miami International Airport on July 5. To celebrate that route, Frontier will offer flights starting at just $29 from the two cities. The same promotional parameters and blackout dates apply to this discount.
As an ultra-low cost airline, Frontier charges extra for things like seat assignments and baggage. But recently, the airline has started to offer travelers more luxury options, like introducing a new economic business class, BizFare, in February, and adding an “UpFront Plus” option last month, which allows travelers to purchase seats in the first two rows with a blocked middle seat for added comfort.
The airline is also shifting its strategy by cutting flights to “oversaturated” vacation markets like Florida and Las Vegas and “increasing service in certain markets that are underserved and or overpriced.”
