An airline that bills itself as an “ultra-low-cost carrier” is adding new nonstop service from LAX to two major cities, with ticket prices starting at just $20.

Frontier Airlines will launch daily service between LAX and Sacramento International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on August 13.

One-way tickets to Sacramento start at $19, and tickets to Atlanta are priced at $59.

Tickets are currently offered at an introductory price and must be purchased by 9 p.m. PDT on June 20. Prices are also limited to certain travel days and do not include baggage fees or seat selection.

The new routes will bring the total number of destinations offered by Frontier through LAX to eight. Earlier this year, the airline announced flights to five more cities, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix and San Francisco. Frontier’s longest operational route from LAX is to Mexico City.

Many of these existing routes have similar prices of $19 during the current introductory sale period.

“We are excited to begin offering consumers in the greater Los Angeles area affordable and convenient travel options to Atlanta and Sacramento,” said Josh Flyr, vice president of network design and operations at Frontier Airlines. “These new daily itineraries support our mission of bringing “The New Frontier” to markets across the country, delivering exceptional value and a superior travel experience.

Frontier has made significant expansions across the country in recent months and has ordered 210 new Airbus planes to meet demand. It says improvements have been made to improve customer service and price transparency, as well as new and improved seating options.

The Denver-based airline claims to have a “cutting-edge loyalty program” that allows frequent travelers to quickly accumulate rewards points and multiple status tiers that come with their own set of benefits and points multipliers .
