With the addition of the new routes, Frontier now serves more than two dozen destinations from the Alamo City.On Sunday, Frontier launched non-stop service to: Charlotte, N.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.: Omaha, Neb.; and Tulsa, Ok.
Monday's new routes were Orange County, Ca.; Cleveland, Oh.; Memphis, Tenn.; and Oklahoma City.
Tom Bartlett with the City of San Antonio's Aviation Dept. says non-stop service to: Albuquerque, NM; Columbus, Oh; and Salt Lake City, Ut. begins Wednesday.
Bartlett says, as an alternative to flying into high-traffic Los Angeles International Airport, the San Antonio-Orange County flights should prove popular with West Coast-bound travelers - and profitable for the airline.
"There's nearly 60,000 people who fly between the two cities on an annual basis," he says.
