Frontier Airlines Launches More Non-stop Low-Fare Service from Raleigh-Durham International Airport

RALEIGH DURHAM, N.C. – Low-fare carrier, Frontier Airlines is celebrating the start of additional service from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) with nonstop flights to Cancun International Airport (CUN), Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) and Sangster International Airport (MBJ). Additional connections will be available to select cities across Frontier’s network. Officials will mark the day with a celebration at the Frontier ticket counter. To celebrate the start of this new, low-cost service, Frontier is offering fares as low as $49, which are available now at FlyFrontier.com.

“We are excited to be starting this new service and especially proud to expand our unique brand of Low Fares Done Right in Raleigh-Durham with the addition of new low fare service to beach destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean,” said Daniel Shurz, Senior Vice President, Commercial at Frontier Airlines. “Frontier is always looking for ways to make travel easier and more affordable, and our reimagined frequent flier program with family-friendly benefits and attainable elite status, as well as our reduced change fees – free if you make changes more than 90 days before you fly – are the latest examples of what we mean by Low Fares Done Right.”

Frontier offers customers the ability to customize travel to their needs and budget. For example, you can purchase options a la carte or in one low-priced bundle called the WORKSsm. This bundle includes refundability, a carry-on bag, a checked bag, the best available seat, waived change fees, and priority boarding.

“We're very excited to see Frontier's continued growth and investment here," said Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Landguth. "With these new routes, including nonstop service to Punta Cana and Montego Bay, it's never been easier or more affordable to travel to the Caribbean and other top destinations.”
