Airlines, like the travelers they serve, historically change little in August as they eye the fall ahead.
But this year, eager to compete with their bigger competitors, budget airlines are rapidly growing.
Meanwhile, other carriers are still building back from the pandemic or filling in the gaps on their map.
Frontier will fly all seven routes daily with introductory airfares ranging from $19 to $69 one way.
Spirit Connects the Dots
Fellow discounter Spirit Airlines will add two new routes in August.
Both routes operate less than daily with introductory airfares ranging from $69 to $79 one way.
Sun Country is the only airline flying both routes.
The airline suspended both routes early in the pandemic.
Economy airfares range from $304 to $413 one way.
