Frontier Airlines\u00a0is launching a seasonal nonstop route between Chicago, Illinois, United States\u2019\u00a0Midway International Airport (MDW)\u00a0and\u00a0Montego Bay,\u00a0Jamaica\u2019s Sangster International Airport (MBJ). Frontier Airlines now has 12 routes fanning out of Sangster International Airport back to the United States as one of America’s leading\u00a0ultra\u00a0low-cost carriers \u2013\u00a0not just Denver.<\/p>\n
Connecting Chicago to Caribbean vacations<\/h2>\n
As Daniel Shurz, senior vice president of commercial, Frontier Airlines, said in a February 25 airline statement;<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re thrilled to provide those in Chicagoland convenient and affordable travel to one of the most popular vacation destinations in the Caribbean. We know Jamaica is a favorite among Chicagoans, and we\u2019re excited to offer \u2018Low Fares Done Right\u2019 to escape the winter cold for some fun and excitement in Montego Bay.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
For Commissioner Jamie L. Rhee of the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), the Chicago City Government department that operates Midway International Airport, this nonstop seasonal connection will raise Chicago\u2019s profile. As Rhee explained;<\/p>\n\n
\n
This new seasonal service to Jamaica will further connect Chicago to a long list of tropical destinations during our winter and spring seasons and bolster our status as one of the world’s best-connected international hub cities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
It\u2019s also worth noting that fellow ultra low-cost carrier\u00a0Southwest Airlines\u00a0also makes the same nonstop flight as part of\u00a0growing United States connections to Jamaica. In fact, Midway International Airport is a key hub for the airline.<\/p>\n
Gratitude from Jamaica<\/h2>\n
First, as the Jamaican Minister, the Honourable Edmund Bartlett considered this new service as \u201cA testament both to our strong partnership and the continued strong interest in Jamaica as a destination for US travelers,\u201d according to the February 27, 2023, South Florida Caribbean News. This gratitude would go down the chain of command.<\/p>\n

For instance, the president and CEO of Airports Authority of Jamaica Audley Deidrick said in a February 24, 2023, Sangster International Airport statement;<\/p>\n
Frontier\u2019s stated vision that \u2018the skies are for everyone,\u2019 backed up by their \u2018commitment to families through low fares,\u2019 while making sure they offer service \u2018done right\u2019 for an \u2018enjoyable\u2019 experience, makes them a perfect fit for Jamaica\u2019s travel and tourism product.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
The airport CEO Shane Munroe also expressed in the February 24 statement gratitude for \u201cthe unwavering commitment of Frontier Airlines to expanding and enhancing its service offerings to Montego Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
The new route<\/h2>\n
Granted, Frontier Airlines will route you on most dates through Denver to make the Chicago-Montego Bay connection. This is as the flight is once weekly. As the airline made clear in its statement:<\/p>\n
Frequency and times are subject to change.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nonetheless, a direct route takes 1,706 miles and three hours, thirty-six minutes to complete. Frontier Airlines will use one of their\u00a0Airbus A320neos\u00a0to make the trip.\u00a0When unveiled, the\u00a0A320neos\u00a0Frontier Airlines ordered came with new upgraded seats plus increased fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n
