Low fare carrier Frontier Airlines is launching three new routes from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in spring 2025 including one to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
On April 22, nonstop service to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) will begin, operating four times per week. Which days, they do not say, and getting a response from anyone at Frontier is a challenge.
They're also launching daily nonstop service to Miami International Airport beginning March 30, and daily nonstop service to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on May 1.
This barely offsets a recent reduction of Frontier flights out of DFW to Jacksonville, Omaha, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, St. Louis, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Raleigh-Durham.
Frontier currently flies from DFW to LaGuardia in New York.
These new routes are less about DFW and more about Frontier building up its presence at JFK, where they began operating in June 2024.
They'll introduce the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) flights starting at $29. But nothing is free, and before you buy a ticket, it's worth visiting their Facebook page, an absolute house of pain with one complaint after another. The turnovere rate for their social media staff has to be pretty high, because that is one bleak job.
Frontier Airlines recently ushered in something called ‘The New Frontier’ which they claim has more transparency through upfront pricing and a range of options to meet various budgets, with no change or cancellation fees, longer flight credit windows, and more enhancements to come including First Class seating which they'll debut in late 2025.
However, going back to that Facebook page, you'll see comments about people getting charged for changes and cancellations, so who knows whether the airline's policy is confusing or if it's user error.
They currently offer UpFront Plus, a new seating option in the first two rows of the aircraft which they say has extra leg and elbow room, plus a guaranteed empty middle seat. No clue on the pricing, since getting anyone from their media department to respond is no more effective than getting anyone in customer service to respond.
