Frontier Airlines adds three routes from Seattle's Paine Field

Frontier Airlines is adding a new destination to its route map, expanding its services to Seattle's Paine Field International Airport (PAE). The Denver- based carrier announced on Tuesday that it will begin flights to Denver International Airport (DEN), Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) from PAE starting June 2. The airline will offer three weekly flights on each route, with introductory one-way fares beginning at $29.

For Frontier, the new Paine Field service complements its existing operations at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), where it currently flies to seven destinations, including the same three airports it will add from PAE as well as Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Ontario International Airport (ONT) in California.

Paine Field, located in Everett, Washington, resumed commercial flight operations in March 2019 after decades of being closed to commercial traffic. It was intended to serve as an alternative for residents living north of downtown Seattle. Until then, residents in Snohomish County and surrounding areas had to drive nearly 40 miles south to SEA for air travel.
