Finally some competition for the direct flight to Denver from CR. Wonder what they charge for bags/boxes full of beer.


CR airport adds low-cost Frontier service

Frontier Airlines announced today that it is launching new year-round service from its Denver hub to The Eastern Iowa Airport beginning May 17.

Airport Director Tim Bradshaw said the Frontier service to Denver initially will include four weekly flights and could lead to more.

"The new service will be a low-cost alternative for passengers traveling to Denver and western destinations such as Seattle, Los Angeles and San Diego and beyond," he said in a press release.

With the addition of Frontier Airlines' four weekly nonstop flights to Denver, Eastern Iowa Airport passengers will have 27 nonstop flights to Denver weekly.

Frontier flights are scheduled for Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, departing Denver at 3:10 p.m., and arriving in Cedar Rapids at 5:59 p.m.; and departing Cedar Rapids at 6:35 p.m. and arriving in Denver at 7:43 p.m.

Service will be provided on 99-seat Embraer 190 aircraft.

The announcement of the Frontier service brings the total number of airlines serving The Eastern Iowa Airport to six. Frontier joins American Eagle, Allegiant Air, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines. They provide service to 11 nonstop destinations: Atlanta (ATL); Chicago (ORD); Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW); Denver (DEN); Detroit (DTW); Houston ((IAH); Minneapolis (MSP); Las Vegas (LAS); Orlando-Sanford (SFB) Fla.; Tampa (TPA), Fla.; St. Petersburg-Clearwater (PIE), Fla.; and Phoenix-Mesa (AZA).

Introductory fares begin at $60 each way for the Frontier Denver-Cedar Rapids service. The introductory fares are available at FrontierAirlines.com through Feb. 29, for travel through mid to late June, depending on the market. The new flights are currently available only on the airline's website and through its reservations centers; they will be for sale through other ticketing channels this weekend.

Thanks for the heads up.  I see that they fly to Phoenix.  Might need to go to Spring Training.

I was planning to drive to gabf, THeir normal fare is ~$80 each way, I can drive for that. (I know there will be fees and taxes up the wazoo, but it's still a good deal)

If I were going for GABF I would probably drive with a group of guys and share the gas expense. Nice thing is no car to rent if you want to get out to areas other than downtown (and you should!) and room to bring back a bunch of beer. Flight is a nice option though, especially if you are limited on time or just can't make it across Nebraska without going crazy.
