Introductory rates will begin at $19 for a one-way ticket.
“The ability to expand air service through Frontier Airlines to the San Antonio population is one that we've been seeking diligently and I'm looking forward to working with frontier and offering those opportunities to our flying passengers,” said San Antonio Aviation Director Tom Jones.

Getting new airlines to come to the Aolamo City has been the goal of the city of San Antonio and Chamber of Commerce. Councilman Joe Krier said more options are what will keep San Antonio ahead in the business world.
