Frontier Airlines Returns to Oakland With Nonstop Las Vegas Flights

The ultra-low-cost carrier is restoring East Bay service to expand travel options after capacity opened when Spirit Airlines went bankrupt.

Overview

  • Frontier has resumed operations at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport and started nonstop service to Las Vegas with an inaugural flight from the East Bay.
  • The carrier is scheduling Las Vegas flights 11 times per week on select days to provide frequent leisure connections for local travelers.
  • Frontier is promoting limited-time fares as low as $29 with regular one-way prices starting at $49, while warning that carry-on bags and other add-ons will incur extra fees.
  • The airline has put a short holiday week of flights to Ontario, California, on sale, signaling near-term network expansion beyond Las Vegas.
  • Port and city leaders welcomed the return as a boost to regional travel and local jobs, and the move fills airport capacity left after Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy under the ultra-low-cost model that sells low base fares but charges for many extras.
