Frontier Airlines is kicking off 2026 with a major expansion: 23 new routes to warm-weather destinations across the U.S. and Mexico—many landing just in time for spring break.
The additions span 24 airports, giving travelers more low-cost ways to reach reliably sunny spots like Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, Cancun and Orlando.
“With our expanding network and the introduction of new First Class seats, there’s a lot to be excited about,” said Josh Flyr, Frontier’s vice president of network and operations design, in a recent press statement. “These new routes give travelers even more affordable options as they plan their spring breaks next year.”
To celebrate the growth, the airline is offering introductory fares starting at $39, depending on the destination.

Where Frontier Is Adding New Flights
The new routes lean heavily into warm-weather getaways popular with spring travelers. Phoenix sees one of the largest boosts, with new flights from Nashville, Des Moines, Indianapolis, Omaha,Milwaukee, Memphis and more.
Florida hotspots—including Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa and Fort Myers—also get new connections from Midwestern and East Coast airports like Columbus, Indianapolis, Little Rock, St. Louis, Memphis and Norfolk.
Cancun is another standout: inbound and outbound service will now link the Mexico resort destination with Charlotte, Chicago Midway and Raleigh-Durham.
Most routes start in March 2026, with a few launching in early April. Frequencies range from two to four flights per week, with some weekly service depending on the destination.

More Than Just New Routes
The announcement comes as Frontier continues rolling out product upgrades under what it calls “The New Frontier.” The airline recently added “UpFront Plus” seating—offering extra room and a guaranteed empty middle seat—and will debut First Class seating in early 2026. Frontier has also revamped its frequent-flyer program, introducing easier elite status and family pooling for miles.
With travel demand remaining strong and spring break on the horizon, these new routes make it easier—and cheaper—to escape winter and head for the sun.
