Frontier Airlines will return to Newark after an absence of two years, with service once or twice daily (11 times weekly) to San Juan. The low-cost carrier will also begin daily service from New York-JFK to San Juan, marking its first operation from JFK. Also new is service from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, to San Francisco; and from Phoenix to Los Cabos, the first international route for Frontier from Phoenix.
Frontier recently introduced UpFront Plus, a new upgraded seating option with extra leg and elbow room in the first two rows of the aircraft. Customers in UpFront Plus will get a window or aisle seat with extra legroom and a guaranteed empty middle seat. UpFront Plus seating is available on flights departing on or after April 10.
The airline also recently revamped its frequent flyer program, with customers earning miles and getting rewarded for each dollar spent on Frontier products. Miles accrue based on dollars spent with a standard 10X multiplier: $1 = 10 miles. Mileage multipliers increase at every elite level up to a cap of 20X. Elite status enables members to enjoy benefits like priority boarding, free seat selection, no change or cancel fees when changes are made seven days or more in advance of flight departure, and free checked bag(s) at Gold, Diamond and Platinum levels.
