Continuing its blockbuster expansion plan announced in July which included 21 cities and 85 routes, Frontier Airlines announced ten new routes this week.

- Charleston to Chicago O’Hare starting May 11
- Cleveland to Austin TX, starting April 9
- Colorado Springs to San Antonio, starting April 8
- Colorado Springs to Seattle, starting April 8
- Colorado Springs to San Jose, starting April 9
- Colorado Springs to Minneapolis, starting April 9
- San Jose CA to Atlanta, starting April 8
- San Jose CA to Cincinnati, starting April 8
Along with announcement of new routes, Frontier also offered some bargain prices with one-way fares on select days starting as low as $39! I found $39 one-way fare from San Jose (one of my home airports) to Colorado Springs during our April spring break.
But remember, Frontier charges for carry-on bags, seat assignments and more. And because many of Frontier’s routes don’t operate daily, rescheduling in the event of weather disruption might turn into a nightmare, like what happened last December.

Frontier also extended its schedule through August 11, 2018.

I suppose for some travelers the Frontier “deals” might be good. I’d hardly call several times a week a schedule, usually with once a day flights. I’m curious as to how many serious Frontier travelers dropped out of the frequent flier program. I have never received an answer from Frontier after questioning how many dropped Elite tier status, including me. Fortunately, I burned most of my 200,000 miles before the changes.
