Despite low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines officially shutting down its operations in May, travelers around the country will still have access to affordable flights, thanks to Frontier. 

The Denver-based budget carrier has just launched eight new routes that were previously operated by Spirit.

“We are pleased to grow our service across the country to ensure low-cost flight options remain available to consumers as they plan their travel this summer and beyond,” said Josh Flyr, Frontier’s vice president of network and operations design.

The routes are a mix of major cities around the U.S., as well as notable leisure markets that are popular with summer vacationers. 

All of the new routes began service on July 5 and 6 with introductory fares as low as $39 one way.

Here’s a look at the newly launched routes.

Frontier launched service from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to:

  • Boston-Logan International Airport (BOS) with daily flights and fares starting at $69
  • Memphis International Airport (MEM) with thrice-weekly flights and fares starting at $69
  • Richmond International Airport (RIC) with thrice-weekly flights and fares starting at $59

From Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Frontier launched daily flights to:

  • Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) with fares starting at $49
  • Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) with fares starting at $79
  • Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) with fares starting at $79

From Kansas City International Airport (MCI), Frontier launched new service to Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) with flights operating four times per week and fares starting at $69.

From Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Frontier launched daily nonstop flights to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), with fares starting at $39.
