Many of these routes are former Spirit Airlines served city pairs. Frontier is swooping in to cover these as travelers begin to make Spring Break plans. Josh Flyr, Vice President of Network and Operations Design at Frontier Airlines, said:

As we look ahead to 2026, there’s a lot to be excited about—from our expanding network to the introduction of our new First Class seats and more – and we’re thrilled to kick things off with the announcement of these new routes, giving travelers even more affordable options as they plan their spring breaks next year.”

Anthony’s Take: Frontier is giving spring travelers some great options and is smart to pick up some routes that Spirit shed. If you’re beginning to plan, you won’t find fares much cheaper.
