Frontier adds Ft.Myers and Montego Bay, out of PHL
Philly.com (Inquirer) reported it:

Frontier's website isn't advertising it yet. It might be advertised later today. Classic Plus fares don't seem loaded on many days yet. I think they are working on loading and setting fares, as some days seem full price still.
Ft.Myers service is being offered daily, while Montego Bay is limited to 3x weekly.
I figured PHL-RSW would be a great route addition, as Southwest stopped it's flight service on this route seasonally, atleast two years or so ago. This leaves only US on the route. US fares out of PHL are rather high, and Southwest fares out of BWI to RSW are high. But Frontier does offer a limited service out of TTN, and Spirit offers 1x daily but seasonal out of ACY.
RSW was also a destination that ILG had for a while also, although flown only 2x weekly.
I think Frontier is pleased with PHL-Florida, although PHL-MIA might run into more competition this year as JetBlue launches 2x daily PHL-FLL.
Nonetheless, I wonder if Frontier will consider PHL-SJU perhaps before JetBlue? I don't know how US is pricing their nonstops, but if it's high, it might be an attractive route for consideration.
