This airline is launching Las Vegas-Washington D.C. flights
Frontier Airlines will begin daily nonstop flights between Washington D.C.’s Dulles International Airport and Las Vegas beginning in May.
The Denver-based airline, the sixth-busiest commercial carrier at Harry Reid International Airport serving nearly 4 million passengers to Las Vegas in 2024, announced the new route as part of a broad expansion at the suburban Washington airport.
After retreating from Dulles in 2022, Frontier came back with Florida routes in the fall. It will compete on the Las Vegas-Dulles route with United Airlines, which has 20 nonstop round-trip flights a week.
The Las Vegas flights to Dulles begin May 1 and will leave Reid daily at 11 p.m., arriving in Washington the next day at 6:31 a.m. The return flight leaves Washington at 8:01 a.m., arriving in Las Vegas at 10:16 a.m.
The airline will use twin-engine 186-passenger Airbus A320neo jets on the route.
Frontier is introducing the new route with promotional fares of $69 one way.
Three airports serve the Washington D.C. area: Dulles in Virginia, Baltimore-Washington International in Maryland and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in central Washington. Several airlines have nonstop flights to and from each airport.
