The new destinations are New Orleans; the Florida cities of Miami, Tampa and Fort Myers; and Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham in North Carolina. Frontier is introducing the new flights with low-cost initial bookings.

During a news conference Tuesday, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo said the expanded selection of flights is good for the state’s economy.

“You know, I spend a lot of time doing business development for the state,” she said. “I’ve already started to use these six new flights in my pitches with businesses that I’ve been talking to, saying Frontier is doubling down.
