Frontier adds BWI Marshall nonstops to Chicago, with $49 introductory fare

By Jeff Clabaugh

Frontier Airlines, now the fastest-growing airline at BWI Marshall Airport, is adding nonstop flights to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport starting July 7, with introductory one-way fares as low as $49.

The BWI Marshall to O’Hare flight will operate three times a week. Restrictions on the $49 fares include purchase by May 12 for travel between July 7 and Aug. 25.

Frontier’s Chicago nonstops join one of the more popular nonstop routes from the D.C. area.

United, American and Southwest all fly nonstop from BWI Marshall to O’Hare. Southwest also flies nonstop to Chicago’s Midway airport. United flies nonstop to O’Hare from Dulles. United and American fly nonstop from Reagan National to O’Hare and Southwest has nonstops from DCA to Midway.

Denver-based Frontier began flights from BWI Marshall in 2019. Chicago will be its 11th nonstop destination from the airport. In addition to domestic routes, Frontier also flies from BWI Marshall to Cancun, Mexico, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Frontier returned to Dulles airport last fall after discontinuing operations there in early 2022. Its nonstops from Dulles include Las Vegas, Tampa, Orlando and Atlanta. It also operates daily flights from Reagan National to Denver.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
