The launch of Frontier trips to San Juan and Montego Bay come just weeks after Finnair, the national carrier of Finland, celebrated its new route from Tampa to Frankfurt on behalf of Eurowings Discover as part of a lease agreement during the peak summer travel season.

The flight, which operates six times per week, Tuesday through Sunday, will retain the Eurowings Discover flight number, but will be operated by Finnair and its flight crews.

Passengers boarding the Finnair A350 can look forward to a high-class travel experience with the same food and beverage service, onboard shop and in-flight entertainment options found on normal Eurowings Discover flights.

Guests will be served by a Finnair crew and can choose from three travel classes: Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class.

Passengers will still receive all the benefits associated with flying on a Lufthansa Group/Star Alliance carrier as before.

As a young airline still in its ramp-up phase, Eurowings Discover decided to supplement its still-small fleet and limited number of crew by leasing a total of three A350 planes from Finnair.

The aircraft will be operating on routes between Eurowings Discover destinations in North America and the airline’s two hubs in Frankfurt and Munich, Germany. The move will help the airline meet expected demand this summer.

The Finnair A350 is scheduled to operate at TPA though the end of October, when Eurowings Discover will resume operating its flights.
