We are a low fare airline that provides service from our Denver hub to over 70 destinations in the United States, Costa Rica and Mexico. We are the second largest jet carrier of Denver International Airport (DIA) with more than 550 daily system-wide departures and arrivals.

We currently operate a fleet of 54 aircraft including 38 Airbus A319s, nine Airbus A318s seven Airbus A320s, 15 Embraer E190s, 17 Embraer E170s, six Embraer E145s and six Embraer E135s on the routes shown in the online route map.
We commenced operations on July 5, 1994, taking advantage of three unique windows of opportunity:
- A major airline's dramatic downsizing of its Denver operations, leaving service gaps in various major markets
- The construction of Denver International Airport, which replaced Denver's heavily congested Stapleton Airport
- The availability of several key executives from the former Frontier Airlines, who created a senior management team with long-term experience in the Denver market
low fares
We proudly offer all our seats at various discount fares and unlike most other airlines, our passengers aren't required to stay over a Saturday night to receive most of our low fares. We guarantee that customers won't find a lower Frontier fare anywhere outside of FrontierAirlines.com.
frequent flyer
We offer our own mileage program, EarlyReturns®, which features one of the fastest reward programs in the industry. EarlyReturns award redemptions include a free roundtrip flight anywhere on our domestic route system at just 25,000 miles. Members earn one mile for every mile flown with us, plus additional mileage with program partners including hotels, credit card and car rental agencies. The program also features two elite tier levels of benefits that include bonus mileage, priority boarding and free DIRECTV® service.
vacation packages
Frontier has teamed up with Ski.com to offer customers one-stop ski shopping through its Web site at FrontierAirlines.com or at FrontierSkiVacations.com. With Frontier Ski Vacations, customers can book the complete vacation package: flight, lodging, lift tickets and more, with just one visit to the airline's Web site.
We have a vacation package program called Frontier Vacations that we developed with Denver-based Neat Group. FlyAways are customized packages for the individual and include air/hotel, air/car or air/hotel/car combinations.
corporate business
We offer corporate rebate and discount programs to businesses. Small- and medium-sized businesses can receive online access through our website to corporate rebates, direct booking capabilities and reporting information about their company's travel and accounting history. More frequent business users are eligible for a corporate discount program.
a whole different animal
"A whole different animal" is more than a catchy tagline. It's a concept that uses one of our most recognizable features and ties it in with our ability to stand out from the rest. We approach our business with four key principles in mind: Affordable; Flexible; Accommodating; and Comfortable. These are the four "legs" we stand on. "A whole different animal" represents our commitment to do the little things that make a big difference to our customers.
partnerships
Frontier currently has three operating partnerships. The airline offers service to regional destinations under its codeshares with Great Lakes Aviation and Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc. subsidiary Lynx Aviation, which operates 11 Q400 aircraft. In addition, Frontier and Midwest Airlines have a codeshare partnership that allows passengers of both airlines access to more than 60 destinations in the U.S., Mexico and Costa Rica.
