Three new Colombia routes are planned
Frontier Airlines announced on 10 September 2026 that it plans to begin nonstop services from Orlando International Airport to Bogotá, Cartagena and Medellín in December. The announcement marks the airline's first scheduled service to Colombia and its first expansion into South America.
The three destinations serve different types of trips: Bogotá is Colombia's capital and a major business and cultural centre, Cartagena is a popular Caribbean destination, and Medellín is a large city with extensive domestic and international connections.
What passengers should check before booking
New-route schedules can change between announcement and departure. Travellers should confirm the final operating days, airport terminals and baggage conditions directly with the airline before paying. Promotional starting fares may also have limited availability and may not include optional services such as checked baggage or seat selection.
Entry requirements remain separate
A new nonstop flight does not change passport, visa or immigration rules. Check official Colombian entry information for your nationality and travel purpose. If your itinerary connects in the United States, make sure you also understand any US transit or entry requirements that apply to you.
Why the route announcement is useful for travellers
Nonstop options can reduce the complexity of a journey by removing a connection. When comparing fares, however, look at the complete trip cost, baggage allowance, timings and change conditions rather than comparing the headline fare alone.
The new route announcement gives travellers more options when planning trips between Orlando and Colombia. Direct flights can make journeys simpler by reducing connection times and avoiding extra airport transfers. New services may also create more flexibility around travel dates and fares. Before booking, travellers should check the exact route, operating schedule, baggage rules, and total ticket cost.
