Frontier Airlines to launch flights from Las Vegas to Mexico

The first nonstop flights from McCarran International Airport to Mexico from a US-based air carrier were announced Tuesday when representatives of Frontier Airlines said they would start air service to two Mexican resort cities in December. Frontier will become the first airline in more than a decade to offer international service to Canada and Mexico from Las Vegas when flights to Cancun and Los Cabos begin Dec. 15. Most international service to McCarran is provided by foreign air carriers. Flights to Cancun will leave Las Vegas Mondays and Fridays at around 10 a.m. with the return flight arriving at McCarran at around 8 p.m. The Saturday Cabo flight will leave Las Vegas at around noon, returning at 7 p.m. Fares will start at $79 one way.<br/>
