IAD’s daily service begins on May 1, and the flights four times a week from CLT to TPA take only one day later. Frontier will operate a weekly service only on Saturday from CVG to PUJ from May 17.
To coincide with the announcement, Frontier introductory rates on these new routes begin at $ 29. Keep in mind that the basic frontier business model means that you must pay for extras such as bags and assignments in the cheapest introductory rates.
