New Service Underscores Airline’s Commitment to Affordable and Convenient Travel across the Caribbean
Ultra-low fare carrier Frontier Airlines launched nonstop service yesterday between Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados (BGI) and Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU). The new service, which will operate three times per week, underscores the airline’s commitment to bringing affordable and convenient air travel options to the Caribbean.
“We are delighted to officially add Barbados to our growing network of operations across the Caribbean with the launch of this new nonstop service,” said Josh Flyr, vice president of network and operations design, Frontier Airlines. “With our ‘Low Fares Done Right’ to and from this stunning paradise, we will serve as valuable partner in the country’s vital tourism industry and make it easy for residents to travel to Puerto Rico and beyond.”
“We welcome Frontier Airlines’ decision to include Barbados in their route expansion, connecting us directly with San Juan, Puerto Rico. This new service will further increase Barbados’ connectivity within the Caribbean region, particularly the northern Caribbean,” said Andrea Franklin, CEO, Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. “From San Juan, Frontier provides easy, low-cost connectivity to many of our key gateways including New York City and Orlando, offering a range of options to our visitors from those markets especially during peak periods such as Crop Over. We celebrate the start of Frontier Airlines on Saturday, and wish them many successful years of service to Barbados.”
Frontier Airlines recently introduced sweeping changes to its product and customer service offerings, ushering in ‘The New Frontier’ for the airline. Underscoring its commitment to providing exceptional value and a superior travel experience, ‘The New Frontier’ provides more transparency through upfront pricing and options to meet various customers’ needs and budgets. Through no change or cancellation fees, a ‘For Less’ Price Guarantee, longer flight credit windows and more, America’s Greenest Airline is improving what customers can expect and delivering the best price for their travel needs.
Frontier now offers 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 enjoy a window or aisle seat with extra legroom and a guaranteed empty middle seat.
The airline’s recently reimagined, industry-leading frequent flyer program, FRONTIER Miles, enables consumers to ‘Get It All For Less.’ Customers earn miles fast and get 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 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 bag(s) at Gold, Diamond, and Platinum levels. Like the airline, FRONTIER Miles is family friendly, and the program makes it easy for families to enjoy the rewards together, including family pooling of miles. (PR)
