Nonstop flights to the Rocky Mountains are coming to the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport. Monroe County Executive Adam Bello and Frontier Airlines today announced a new nonstop service to Denver International Airport starting May 27, 2022. With more than 400 weekly flights to 70+ destinations, Denver serves as Frontier’s largest hub and will provide greater connectivity to additional destinations and markets along the west coast and Mexico. To celebrate Rochester’s newest nonstop service route, Frontier is offering fares starting as low as $99 one-way on select dates.

“Securing nonstop service to Denver has been a goal of the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport for several years — Denver is the largest unserved market in our region and latest welcome addition to the growing list of air service destinations out of ROC,” said County Executive Bello. “These nonstop flights will provide greater convenience for Monroe County and Finger Lakes residents who enjoy skiing, hiking and a variety of other outdoor activities and attractions that Denver and the Rocky Mountain region have to offer. Thank you to Frontier for expanding their presence in Rochester and Monroe County.”

Frontier Airlines began operating out of ROC in May of 2021 with nonstop service to Orlando International Airport (MCO) and has since added nonstop service to Tampa International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, two other popular Florida destinations. Denver will be the fourth nonstop destination served by Frontier Airlines, and will be the furthest nonstop western destination out of ROC. The three times per week service will add over 550 seats per week from Rochester to Denver.
