In a Nutshell
Frontier Airlines will begin operating new direct routes in March and May 2024, departing from a number of U.S. airports. In honor of the occasion, they are offering discounted tickets that start at $19 and are valid for travel between March 7 and June 15, 2024, through December 19, 2023. Cities like Atlanta, Dallas, and Philadelphia are on the routes.
Until December 31, 2023, Frontier is also providing a status match program. You can match your elite status with Frontier’s Gold, Platinum, or Diamond tier for 2024 by paying fees ranging from $99 to $149 if you have elite status with specific airlines, hotels, or cruise lines. Benefits include things like priority boarding and free seat selection. The elite status can be obtained in as little as 72 hours, and it is good through December 2024.
Whether or not you choose to go with the status match ultimately comes down to your travel habits, how frequently you travel, and whether or not the benefits meet your needs. Examine your future travel schedule to see if taking advantage of Frontier’s elite status benefits will improve your trip experience in general. If you have elite status with another airline now, consider the advantages of sticking with them versus the costs and benefits of switching to Frontier. Furthermore, take into account your travel preferences and confirm that Frontier’s routes include the locations you typically visit.
