Frontier Airlines, an ultra-low fare carrier, just announced a new route to Vail, Colorado. The flight lands at Eagle County Airport (EGE), offering access to Rocky Mountain resorts like Vail, Beaver Creek, and Aspen. I’ll be Frontier’s first route to EGE, letting travelers save money while exploring legendary terrain like Vail’s Back Bowls. The flights serve Dallas, San Francisco, and Denver, and begin December 16.

Frontier’s Vail flights put you in the heart of the mountains

Colorado offers world-class skiing, with the Rocky Mountains providing ample snow and significant vertical drop. But to get to the resorts, most fly into Denver International Airport (DEN) and then endure a 1-hour plus journey into the Rockies. But Eagle County Airport is in the middle of the action, putting visitors in the heart of the alpine. Frontier’s new route will let skiers and snowboarders hit the tarmac and jump into the action.

Frontier’s EGE flights start on December 16, with service to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport twice weekly. Denver International Airport (DEN) follows on December 19, with San Francisco International Airport (SFO) joining on December 21. The DEN flight flies twice per week, and SFO flies once a week.  Every fare has an introductory price of $99.

Jennifer de la Cruz, Senior Director, Corporate Communications, Frontier Airlines, said: “Frontier is thrilled to connect consumers in Colorado, Texas, California, and beyond with the incredible beauty, world-class skiing, and endless recreational opportunities this area of Colorado is famous for. There is strong demand for affordable air service from these major metropolitan areas to the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, and we look forward to providing consumers with our ultra-low fare flight options while supporting the Colorado tourism industry.”

Mesa Verde: The Civilization That Never Vanished
Peter Horan

Twenty years after my first visit, I went back to Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. Most national parks celebrate what nature built. This one celebrates what people built more than 700 years ago, in stone, beneath the overhanging cliffs.

The setting helps. The name is Spanish for “green table,” and the park is a forested plateau above the Four Corners, cut by deep canyons with mountains in the distance. But scenery isn’t the reason to come. At most historic sites, you have to imagine what once stood there. Here, entire villages are still tucked under enormous rock alcoves.

Thompson Austin review: Two hotels, one building, and the best salad of my life
thompson austin review austh exterior angle alargueta4 21

Austin is a city that really wants you to leave your hotel. There’s live music spilling out of every other doorway, a brisket line with your name on it, and a whole street of bungalow bars on Rainey begging for your attention. So naturally, on my most recent trip, my friend and I did the opposite. We checked into Thompson Austin, by Hyatt, and treated it less like a home base and more like a destination.

No regrets. Here’s why.
