Beginning in mid-June, the airline will have regular service flights to and from Chicago O-Hare International Airport, Bergstrom International Airport in Austin, Texas, and Salt Lake City International in Utah. With these new routes, which were announced by the carrier on Tuesday, Frontier will have nonstop offerings to eight destinations through San Diego.

Just last month, Southwest announced expansions to five destinations, including Fresno, Tampa, and San José Del Cabo, Mexico. SAN presents 100 works by 16 SoCal artists in new exhibit, 'Mirror Mirror' The terminal, which will become the home base of Frontier, Southwest, Spirit and JetBlue, among others, will replace the existing Terminal 1 with up to 30 new gates and modernized amenities for travelers. The first phase of the $3.8 billion construction project is expected to be complete by September 2025 and will include the opening of 19 gates, according to the airport authority. The second phase will focus on demolition of the existing Terminal 1 and construction of the second wing of the building — work that is expected to take until at least mid-2028.
