SAN JUAN – Frontier Airlines announced Wednesday 25 nonstop routes, including its return to Central America with flights to Guatemala City and San Salvador and service to two new destinations in the Dominican Republic: Santiago and Santo Domingo. It is offering fares as low as $39, which are available at FlyFrontier.com.
Among the new routes are four from Puerto Rico’s Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport (SJU) to Baltimore, Boston, Chicago and its first service from SJU to Santo Domingo. The carrier is offering rates starting at $59.

New Routes to San Juan Airport (SJU):
The service is seasonal and the frequency and times announced Wednesday are subject to change.
Carla Campos, the executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Co., said: “The Government of Puerto Rico appreciates Frontier’s continued commitment to our destination since it first began serving two cities to and from San Juan in June 2017. Two and a half years later, Frontier has become one of the airlines with the largest number of destinations from Puerto Rico. With the addition of Boston, Baltimore, Chicago and Santo Domingo, San Juan will receive 89,540 additional [passenger] seats during the summer of 2020, representing an economic impact resulting from visitor spending of over $28 million.”
Besides Frontier’s focus on low fares, customers can purchase options “a la carte” or in one low-priced bundle called the WORKS, which includes “refundability, a carry-on bag, a checked bag, the best available seat, waived change fees, and priority boarding.”
Nelman Nevárez, director of operations at Aerostar Airport Holdings, the Muñoz Marín Airport’s operator, added in the release that Frontier is “very pleased with the dramatic growth Frontier has experienced through a 35% increase in flights to new destinations and more frequently from San Juan. We know that this translates into better services and experience for our visitors, one of our main priorities. For this reason, we are investing substantially in the development of capital projects to improve and strengthen the facilities and infrastructure of the airport.”
