    Miami – January 9, 2026 – Get ready for even more jerseys in the streets of Miami this month! Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: ULCC) is adding flights from Indianapolis International Airport (IND) to Miami international Airport (MIA) so fans can watch college football’s biggest game of the year in person.

    “We can’t wait to bring more excited fans to Miami this month so they can cheer every touchdown as well as enjoy the amazing beaches, attractions and dining South Florida has to offer,” said Josh Flyr, vice president of network and operations design, Frontier Airlines.

    Flight departing January 17:

    Frontier Airlines has introduced sweeping changes to its product and customer service offerings, ushering in ‘The New Frontier.’ Among the enhancements is UpFront Plus seating, an upgraded seating option with extra leg and elbow room in the first two rows of the aircraft. Customers in UpFront Plus enjoy a window or aisle seat with extra legroom and a guaranteed empty middle seat. The airline also now offers unlimited companion travel for its most loyal customers, with the flexibility to choose a different companion on every Frontier flight. Debuting in early 2026, Frontier will begin offering First Class seating, combining unmatched comfort and space at Frontier’s trademark affordable prices.

    Frontier continues to innovate with its industry-leading frequent flyer program, FRONTIER Miles, which allows customers to ‘Get It All For Less.’ Members earn miles quickly and get rewarded for each dollar spent on Frontier products. Miles accrue based on dollars spent with a standard 10X multiplier: $1 = 10 miles, with multipliers increasing at every elite level up to 20X. Elite status is attainable at only 10,000 points and offers perks such as priority boarding, seat selection and free bag(s) depending on status level. Like the airline, FRONTIER Miles is also family friendly, offering easy family pooling of miles for Elite members and making it simple for families to enjoy rewards together. Joining is free.
