AUSTIN, Texas — Austin-Bergstorm International Airport (AUS), Frontier Airlines and airport representatives surprised Frontier's 5-millionth passenger with 19 round-trip tickets on Tuesday. The 19 vouchers represent the 19 non-stop Frontier destinations available from Austin.
Chelsea Sievers was deemed the lucky winner when she was on Flight 1867 from AUS to Ontario International Airport (ONT).
"We recently bought a house in Florida, so that means we can travel there whenever we want and don't have to worry about cost, which is awesome," said Sievers when asked what it means for their family.
Sievers also said her family travels a lot, and with having a 2-year-old and 6-year-old they typically fly Frontier since children fly free.
