Popular Budget Airline Launching New Flights To 4 Stunning International Getaways

While there have been rumors that budget airlines will cease to exist in the near future, as Southwest removed its signature ‘bags fly free’ policy and Spirit continues to battle bankruptcy aftermath, there are a select few hanging around, maxing out whatever window remains.

Allegiant, Breeze, little-known Avelo, and perhaps most notable, Frontier, continue leading the charge of this niche industry that certainly isn’t without its challenges.

From policing allowable bag sizes to the nth of a millimeter, and well-documented horror stories of leaving passengers stranded with no backup flights on the docket, some travelers fork over triple or more in airfare to avoid these common risks associated with budget carriers.

And who can blame them? We at Travel Off Path know the feeling all too well, falling victim to both instances…

But hey, money talks. Everyone loves saving skrilla, right?

To do just that, sometimes you gotta bite the bullet, squeeze into the middle seat like a sardine, and pray to all the gods for a seamless trip, which most are a success — it’s just aforementioned horror stories often garner more attention than the majority of flights going according to plan.

To their credit, Frontier has forged through PR nightmares and spearheaded the low-cost sector, expanding their already impressive portfolio time and time again — this time launching new flights to 4 stunning Latin American destinations just in time for the holidays.

Best of all, fares start at just $49! 🤑

Fly Cheap To Cancun From These 2 U.S. Cities

Calling all Michiganders and Marylanders! Christmas is coming early for you this year.

4 days before you’re forced to down Gam Gam’s “world famous” cranberry sauce with a smile, now may be the perfect excuse to escape family gatherings and the frigid weather altogether.

Both Detroit and Baltimore are slated to welcome 2 new flights to Cancun, Mexico’s number one vacation destination and Americans’ favorite international getaway.

With posh all-inclusive resorts, postcard turquoise shores, and buzzing nightlife from hotel pool parties to downtown shenanigans, sunny Cancun is always an excused absence from holiday get-togethers, right?

Well, if not, it’s certainly understandable to swap shoveling driveways to sippin’ poolside margs.

The inaugural flights will launch from each of the participating cities’ airports (DTW and BWI) on November 22, 2025, with weekly service and promotional fares starting at $89 on Frontier’s website or app.

Yee-Haw! 3 New International Flights To Launch From Houston

If your passport is looking bleak or Cancun feels too American-ized to be worthy of a stamp, Houston will soon welcome 3 new direct flights to a trio of unbelievably beautiful and adventurous South American destinations.

Allow me to be your tour guide as I’ve had the pleasure of visiting each and every one in recent years. Kindly call me Captain Sam, so that I can say “I’m the Captain now”.

First up is Guatemala City, Guatemala.

We all know this really means Antigua, a nearby vibrant colonial town that may be small in size but casts a large shadow over the metropolis of Guatemala City in terms of tourism.

Here, you’ll find the source of my coffee addiction. There are ample coffee farms to visit and even more cafes intertwined in the charming cobbled townscape of markets, boutique shops and hotels, and astounding nature on the outskirts of town.

Houston (IAH) will welcome a new flight to GUA 3 times per week beginning December 18, 2025, so you won’t be able to skimp out on Thanksgiving dinner with the fam for this one.

Next up is San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

I stayed at the luxe Hilton Princess before trekking across the country to one of the most underrated Latin American sites to immerse myself in a spectacular world of well-preserved Maya ruins.

Copan Ruinas is just as delightful (if not more) and undoubtedly more authentic as aforementioned Antigua. Read all about my trip here — it’s one of my favorite solo trips I’ve ever been on.

Prices were insanely affordable and Hondurans couldn’t have been more welcoming — a far cry from their country’s sketchy reputation.

If you give this highly underrated country a chance, check out their Caribbean slice of paradise Tela, only an hour or so bus ride from San Pedro Sula.

Houston (IAH) will welcome a new flight to San Pedro Sula (SAP) with weekly service beginning December 20, 2025.

Last, but not least, is San Salvador, El Salvador.

While El Salvador has undergone a mass transformation since I last visited in 2020, all the must-visit sites remain the same.

The only difference is that the country is no longer considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world, and it’s okay if you forgot to pack your wallet, as El Salvador now widely accepts Bitcoin (though no longer legal tender).

While the capital city of San Salvador is fun for a couple of days, the real draw of this tiny nation is seemingly boundless nature, such as the Santa Ana Volcano and Cerro Verde National Park, to name a couple.

My favorite place was Ataco, a map-dot colonial town with sensational cuisine, better coffee, and heartwarming locals happy to welcome you to their beloved hometown.

Houston (IAH) will welcome new flights to San Salvador with 3 flights per week beginning December 19, 2025.
