Frontier Airlines back to Fort Lauderdale with 12 nonstop flights

Wednesday, December 1, 2021

Early next year, Frontier Airlines returns to Fort Lauderdale with 12 new nonstop flights in the heart of Spirit Airlines Country. On Tuesday, the Denver-based budget carrier offered bargain fares but charges extra for everything else. It plans to resume service to and from the South Florida vacation destination in Feb.

Airports and airlines need to adapt to the challenges of new variants: “The travel sector has been reeling under the pressure of covid-19 and its variants for nearly two years now. The Omicron variant is probably a challenging one as it appeared just before the start of the holiday season and the new year. To demonstrate the preparedness to safely enable seamless and less-intrusive travel, while at the same time building consumer confidence to return to airports, board aircraft, and venture out onto their destinations. Contactless biometric-based technologies are the key here – both for consumers to regain confidence and for airports and airlines to effectively manage crowds and cut down bottlenecks created by the additional paperwork. Implement touchless automated technologies and speed through the processes.

For airports, border control agencies, and airlines, Digital ID wallets also present an opportunity to reduce paperwork, and seamlessly integrate all relevant passenger information into a digital profile – including identity documents, biometrics, identity-bonded covid-19 test results, and vaccine certificates. Airports and airlines which are investing now in upgrading their infrastructure to seamless travel technologies are getting ahead of the curve, will stand to withstand periodical pressures from the evolving pandemic and its variants, and ultimately recover the fastest.”

Frontier served Fort Lauderdale in the past, recently in 2019. It also plans to start service from Orlando in March and increase service from the East Coast to Cancun and San Juan in Feb. The airline frequently experiments with new routes, abandoning them if there’s no travel demand, including costs. This year, it discontinued flights at Los Angeles International Airport and San Jose International Airport and announces plans to discontinue flights at Dulles and Newark in 2022.
