Frontier Airlines announces 15 new nonstop routes out of Newark, $15 flights
NEWARK, N.J. - Frontier Airlines will begin offering service at Newark Liberty International Airport this fall, and offering introductory fares as low as $15 on some flights.
The discount carrier announced Tuesday that it will start offering nonstop routes in mid-November to Las Vegas; Miami; Orlando, Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Flights to Phoenix, Atlanta and West Palm Beach, Florida, will begin in December. Frontier said flights to cities including Tampa, Florida; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; Cancun, Mexico; Chicago; and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina are planned for the spring.
Last month, Southwest Airlines said it was pulling out of Newark and consolidating its service at New York's LaGuardia Airport.
