Frontier Has a New Route to a Gorgeous Caribbean Island—and Fares Start at $109
Visiting the island of Aruba just got easier and cheaper.
Low-cost airline Frontier recently launched service between Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) and Aruba's Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA). The flights will operate three times a week, and, in celebration of the new route, the carrier is offering discounted tickets from $109. The nearly four-hour flight will operate nonstop and depart Atlanta at 10:33 a.m., arriving in Aruba at 2:29 p.m. Frontier will offer a variety of cabin service and packages on the flight, ranging from Basic Economy to a "Business Bundle," which includes an upfront seat assignment with an empty middle seat.
Located just north of the coast of Venezuela, Aruba is a popular island destination for travelers in the Caribbean Sea. "Aruba maintained a high level of visitor satisfaction in 2024, with a monthly average satisfaction score of 9 out of a possible 10," Aruba Tourism Authority CEO Ronella Croes shared in the nation's annual tourism report.
The new flight route comes at a time when Aruba is seeing a surge in popularity among leisure travelers. Aruba had more than 1.4 million overnight visitors in 2024, which was a 13 percent increase over the previous year, according to published tourism data. The report also specifies that North America travelers increased 11 percent over the time period.
Not surprisingly, the island is home to stunning beaches, including Eagle Beach, which was named the No. 1 beach in the Caribbean by Tripadvisor. Frontier has been on the move adding new routes to its network. As part of the Aruba announcement, Frontier also announced new service to Oklahoma City (OKC) and Kansas City (MCI) from Atlanta as well, and those flights have introductory fares of $79.
'These new routes, including service to the beautiful island paradise of Aruba, underscore our mission to prove that air travel can be both exceptional and affordable,' Josh Flyr, Frontier's vice president of network and operations design, shared in a statement obtained by Travel + Leisure. All of the promotional fares must be purchased by June 9 at 11:59 p.m. and are valid for travel through Nov. 19, 2025.

Ellen Pompeo says she was delayed by TSA for an hour after trying to board a flight with a pricey snack that, triggered a bomb squad investigation. The 'Grey's Anatomy' star joked about the ordeal, saying she thought her publicist wouldn't believe it if she missed her flight A self-described nervous flier, Pompeo says she now sticks to carry-on essentials like wipes and water — and leans on her kids for comfort during Pompeo got an unexpected lesson on what snacks are safe to munch on in flight after a recent security debacle. The Grey's Anatomy star, 55, was stopped by TSA in March for attempting to board a plane with a bag of Erewhon sunflower seeds, she reveals in a new interview with Travel + Leisure. 'I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy,' she says. 'They literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in.' Pompeo asked the officials, 'What is happening? Is this a joke?' They replied that 'it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of these super expensive, fancy, organic, clean sunflower seeds' that triggered the search. To get on with the security and boarding process, the award-winning actor-director offered to simply throw the bag in the trash; however, she said they told her that she'd have to wait for the bomb squad to confirm the unopened bag of seeds was secure before being released. 'I almost missed the flight,' Pompeo recalls. 'It was really like no one would ever believe this! I was texting my publicist saying, 'I might not get on this plane, and you're never gonna guess why.'' Despite the TSA kerfuffle, Pompeo tells T+L that she loves to travel and reveals what she brings in her carry-on, excluding Erewhon sunflower seeds going forward, and her pre-seating routine. 'Mints, glasses, water, hand sanitizer, and baby wipes,' she shared. 'I have to do the Naomi Campbell thing and wipe down the entire seat.' As for how she likes to travel, the proud mom says her favorite way to jet set is with her family. Pompeo shares three children – Stella Luna, 15, Sienna May, 10, and Eli Christopher, 8 – with her husband, music producer Chris Ivery, to whom she's been married since 2007. As a self-proclaimed nervous flier, the Good American Family star says her family is her support system during any uneasy moments. 'I like to hold my kids' hands when I take off,' she confessed, 'which is probably a little selfish, and they're probably feeling my anxiety, which probably isn't the best thing to do.'
