Frontier Airlines will begin service to five new international destinations from Atlanta, the carrier said this week.

The ultra-low-cost airline will roll out the routes this fall, including service to Nassau in the Bahamas and Kingston, Jamaica. The new offerings will more than double Frontier's international service from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

"This international expansion marks an exciting milestone for Frontier at ATL," Jake Filene, senior vice president, customers at Frontier said in a news release. "We now offer an extensive range of flight options, including an impressive roster of international destinations, providing Atlanta-area consumers even more opportunities to enjoy our 'Low Fares Done Right.' With the addition of these new routes, Frontier now serves 36 nonstop destinations in total from ATL."

The expansion comes after Frontier and Spirit Airlines agreed to terminate a merger proposal in July, clearing the way for approval of JetBlue's takeover bid for Spirit.

"This is a significant moment for Frontier Airlines here at Hartsfield-Jackson," airport deputy general manager and chief commercial officer, Jai Ferrell, said in the release. "We are excited that Frontier will expand our travelers’ choice of international connectivity with these five new routes."

What are the terms of the intro fare offer?

In order to take advantage of the intro fare offer, travelers need to buy their tickets by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Aug. 23. The fares are "valid for nonstop travel on select days of the week, Nov. 5 through Feb. 2, 2023," according to the release. There are a number of blackout dates including Nov. 19 through 23 and the 25 through 28, as well as others in Dec. and Jan.

The tickets are nonrefundable unless passengers request a refund within 24 hours of booking and have made their reservation seven or more ahead of their flight. Travelers can more details on the terms of the deal here.
