The expanded codeshare, which was launched on a limited basis in September 2009, will allow customers of both airlines to travel to more destinations while enjoying ticketing and customer service experience.
According to Frontier, effective immediately for travel starting December, Frontier is able to sell tickets to all Midwest destinations (except Kansas City routes, which will be added later) under a Frontier code. Also, Midwest Airlines is able to sell tickets under a Midwest code for nonstop flights for the entire Frontier domestic network (except Kansas City routes).
Frontier has said that further expansion of the codeshare to include one- and two-stop routes, Frontier’s international routes and Kansas City routes will be added over the course of the next few months. Once these routes are added, customers of both airlines will have complete access to the combined network.
Frontier has also added that both airlines’ customers will also be able to participate in each other’s respective frequent flyer programs – Frontier’s EarlyReturns program and Midwest’s Midwest Miles program, to earn miles and redeem them for free tickets.
Daniel Shurz, vice president of strategy and planning at Frontier, said: “With today’s expansion of the codeshare, Frontier customers are able to buy tickets for the first time to 10 new destinations such as Boston and Grand Rapids.
“This, together with our expanding nonstop network from Denver, allows us to serve even more of their travel needs with our well-known value and outstanding service.”
