Fly non-stop from Denver to San Jose, Costa Rica: Frontier
Airlines' 10th non-U.S. destination DENVER, Nov. 30
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Denver's hometown airline's ambitious
international growth took another big step forward today, with the
low cost carrier's furthest expansion south to date. Early this
morning, Frontier Airlines (NASDAQ:FRNT) launched its new service
between its Denver International Airport (DEN) hub and San Jose,
Costa Rica (SJO). The non-stop flights -- Denver's only non-stop
service to Costa Rica -- will utilize Frontier's new fleet of
Airbus A319 aircraft with above-average legroom, DIRECTV(R) service
and pay-per-view movies in every seat back. The airline will
operate the flight four times per week until Jan. 5, 2008, when
Frontier will grow the service to include a fifth flight on
Saturdays. The new service will also allow convenient connecting
service from several Frontier cities across the West via Denver
International Airport, recently named best airport in North America
by Business Traveler. Costa Rica is Frontier's fourth country
served and its 10th non-U.S. destination, with seven cities served
in Mexico and two in Canada. Also, on Dec. 15, 2007, Frontier will
begin flying non-stop between Albuquerque, N.M. (ABQ), and Puerto
Vallarta, Mexico, which will become Albuquerque International
Sunport's only international air service. "Travelers' response to
Frontier's international service has been tremendous, and we're
thrilled to launch non-stop flights between Denver and Costa Rica,
our third country served from the United States," said John Happ,
senior vice president of marketing and planning for Frontier
Airlines. "Beginning today, passengers have a convenient,
comfortable way to enjoy Costa Rica's culture, visit the country's
amazing beaches, resorts and rain forests, and experience some of
the best outdoor tourism opportunities in the world. The morning
arrival allows for a full day in Costa Rica and offers travelers
the best of onward travel options as they begin their journey in
this exciting destination". The flight schedule for Frontier's new
