In a decidedly practical move for spring breakers and sun-seekers alike, Frontier Airlines is launching direct flights from OKC Will Rogers International Airport to Orlando starting on March 7, a boon to the vacation plans of many and offering twice-daily departures for those looking to escape to warmer climes or the lure of theme parks and business conventions, the direct line answers the call of leisure and enterprise, according to the City of Oklahoma City.
"This is great news for Oklahoma City," said Director of Airports Jeff Mulder, a sentiment likely echoed by families and business travelers planning their itineraries; Orlando's attractions are a draw, and this new route feeds directly into the pent-up demand for direct and affordable access to one of Florida's premier destinations, the enhanced connectivity stands to benefit the local and visiting populations alike as stated in a City of Oklahoma City announcement.
For those looking to save on their travels, Frontier is not shy about sweetening the deal – a promotional fare of $19 for a one-way trip from OKC to Denver sets out on March 19, and for the Vegas-bound, a similar deal is set for April 16; it's a play for the budget-conscious and an aggressive pricing strategy designed to grab attention and hopefully, passenger loyalty in an increasingly competitive low-cost carrier market, as per the City of Oklahoma City.
