Great news coming out of St. Croix! Travel demand to the island has seen a significant surge in the post-pandemic period, and will soon welcome a new airline to consider when booking travel to the big island. Ultra-low fare carrier Frontier Airlines recently announced they will begin nonstop service from Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) on St. Croix to Orlando International Airport (MCO) starting May 2024. They also announced that flights between St. Croix and San Juan will begin this June.
This addition now connects St. Croix to the vast network of flights from the mainland United States into San Juan and Orlando. “We’re thrilled to again announce new service from St. Croix,” said Josh Flyr, Vice President Network Operations and Design, Frontier Airlines. “It will help further support inbound tourism to St. Croix and, for the local community traveling stateside, Orlando is the most popular destination in the U.S. and offers a huge array of connecting options to destinations both within the U.S. and internationally.”
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Frontier Airlines operates more than 100 A320 family aircraft, serving approximately 120 destinations in the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. Thanks to the use of these aircraft models, their seating configuration, and weight-saving initiatives, Frontier’s average of 43 percent fuel savings makes them the most fuel-efficient U.S. airline. On a mission to provide affordable travel across America, the airline offers the lowest fares; plus, children 14 years and younger are eligible to fly free through the airline’s DISCOUNT DEN® travel club on qualifying flights.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, Frontier Airlines is offering low fares starting at $69 and Premium Seat upgrades starting at $19.
