Frontier Airlines, which had the misfortune of carrying a Dallas nurse with Ebola, might be hurting for reservations.
It sent out emails to customers Friday offering them a 20 percent discount on tickets booked Friday. The discount is good for travel from Oct. 23 through Dec. 18, with Nov. 21-26 and Nov. 29-Dec. 1 blacked out. You have to use the discount code TWENTY.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put out a notice Thursday reaching out to passengers on Frontier Flight 1142 on Friday, Oct. 10, from Dallas/Fort Worth to Cleveland. It previously began attempts to contact passengers on Frontier Flight 1143 on Monday, Oct. 13.
Those were the flights taken by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas nurse Amber Joy Vinson, who boarded the Monday flight with a fever. Vinson is now in Emory University Hospital in Atlanta where she was transferred on Wednesday.
Frontier said Thursday it is also reaching out to passengers on five flights Tuesday that used the same airplane that Vinson flew on Monday. That airplane flew DFW-Cleveland, Cleveland-Hollywood, Fla.; Hollywood-Cleveland, Cleveland-Atlanta, and Atlanta-Cleveland.
