Frontier Airlines Launches Nonstop Flights from St. Croix to Orlando, Boosting Tourism and Connectivity

Frontier Airlines, known as America’s Greenest Airline, has inaugurated nonstop service from Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) to Orlando International Airport (MCO) as of May 25, 2024. This launch will be followed by the introduction of another route to Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, beginning June 2, 2024. The airline has introduced promotional fares starting at $99 to celebrate these new services.

Josh Flyr, Frontier Airlines’ Vice President of Network Operations and Design, expressed enthusiasm about the expanded services. “With this new service to and from Orlando and San Juan, Frontier is pleased to support St. Croix’s valuable tourism industry and offer convenient, affordable flight options to local residents,” Flyr stated.

The Orlando route will operate once a week, while flights to San Juan will be available three times a week, enhancing both tourism access and local mobility. Flight schedules and additional details can be found on Frontier’s official website.

In conjunction with the new routes, Frontier has launched ‘UpFront Plus,’ an upgraded seating option providing additional leg and elbow room in the first two rows of their aircraft. This option ensures an empty middle seat for added comfort.

Frontier also highlighted its enhanced frequent flyer program, FRONTIER Miles, which allows customers to quickly accumulate miles at a rate of $1 equaling 10 miles. Designed with families in mind, the program offers benefits such as family pooling of miles, priority boarding, and waived fees for changes made at least a week in advance.

Promotional fares for the new flights must be purchased by June 7, 2024, and are valid for travel from June 2, 2024, through September 30, 2024, with specific blackout dates. These fares do not require a round-trip purchase and are available exclusively to members of the airline’s Discount Den program.

Reservations made under the promotional offer are non-refundable, except for cancellations made within 24 hours of booking, provided the booking is made at least a week before departure. Additional services such as baggage and seat assignments are available at extra costs.

Frontier Airlines’ expansion is set to enhance the local economy by improving air connectivity and offering more affordable travel options for both residents and tourists.
