Frontier to add direct flights to Las Vegas
July 22, 2021
Frontier Airlines is adding direct flights to Las Vegas from the Sioux Falls Regional Airport.
The route will begin Sept. 9 with service on Thursday and Sundays.
To kick off the route, Frontier is offering one-way fares starting at $49 for flights through Dec. 15, with blackout dates of Nov. 18-30.
Having another low-fare carrier to provide direct service to Las Vegas should be good news for travelers, said Dan Letellier, executive director of the Sioux Falls Regional Airport.
“It will certainly create some competition” with Allegiant Air, he said.
Ideally, though, Frontier would have added a destination that fliers can’t get now, Letellier noted. The airline also offers flights to Denver three times a week.
A few years ago, Frontier provided direct service to Las Vegas for about six months, he said.
The Denver-based airline announced 21 new flights this week.
“We’re thrilled to continue growing with a new round of 21 nonstop routes that greatly expand our service in three major markets: Atlanta, Dallas and Las Vegas,” Daniel Shurz, senior vice president of commercial said in a statement. “We remain focused on identifying routes where our ‘Low Fares Done Right’ service benefits customers the most with affordability and convenience. Today’s announcement highlights our confidence in travel’s continued rebound for the rest of 2021 and beyond.”
Last month, Allegiant Air announced it was adding a direct flight from Sioux Falls to Austin, Texas, beginning Nov. 18.
