Thursday morning, budget carrier Frontier Airlines announced a massive addition of 35 new nonstop routes this spring, just a week after announcing nine additional routes beginning in April.

With this expansion, the Denver-based airline will enter four new cities: Birmingham, Alabama (BHM) on April 11; Savannah, Georgia (SAV) on May 1; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (MYR) on May 20; and Branson, Missouri (BKG) on June 13.

All routes are available for purchase now, with introductory fares beginning at $29 one-way. Remember that Frontier is a low-cost carrier, and you can pay up to $130 for a carry-on bag, checked bag, and choice of seating. That being said, the airline holds the highest-possible safety rating of 7 from AirlineRatings.com, with no accidents in its 25-year history.
