More and more travelers are back visiting Jamaica — and now it’s getting even easier to visit the island. 

Frontier Airlines is launching new nonstop flights to Jamaica, continuing the low-cost carrier’s rapid Caribbean expansion push. 

Beginning in November, Frontier will kick off nonstop service from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Montego Bay, Jamaica’s Sangster International Airport. 

The flights will operate three times each week.

Frontier has been one of the fastest-growing carriers to the Caribbean since the onset of the pandemic, with a wave of new flights to the region from airports like Orlando and Miami. 

“We’re thrilled to continue growing,” said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president of commercial, Frontier Airlines. “We remain focused on identifying routes where our ‘Low Fares Done Right’ service benefits customers the most with affordability and convenience.”

The announcement comes after Frontier recently launched another new route to Montego Bay, with three weekly flights from Miami International Airport that started operating in May.
