Low Fare Airline Announces Dulles Service to 14 Cities

A new low-fare airline will be serving Dulles passengers to and from 14 cities, including Las Vegas and Orlando. And to kick off the announcement, Frontier Airlines is offering tickets to all 14 destinations for $15 each way, but only for tickets purchased on Tuesday, May 13, 2014.

The airline will begin service at the Washington Dulles International Airport on Aug. 19 with nonstop flights to six cities: Atlanta, Charlotte, Orlando, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago-O’Hare and Tampa. More cities, including Las Vegas, will be added Sept. 8. 

“The addition of Frontier to the Dulles family represents a significant, positive development for passengers interested in additional low cost, domestic travel options to and from the National Capital region,” said Jack Potter, President and CEO, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

For the $15 sale, tickets must be purchased by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, May 13, 2014, for travel through Nov. 19, 2014. Tickets may be purchased at FlyFrontier.com. 

Additional introductory fares as low as $39 will be available at FlyFrontier.com through May 17, 2014.

"With the Washington area economy growing and the Metrorail Silver Line on the way, Dulles will continue to fill the expanding air travel needs for the region and these new options from Frontier will play an important role," Potter said in a statement. "We welcome Frontier aboard.”
