Jeff Swensen/Getty Images(CNN) - Frontier Airlines is offering free flights for people with the last name "Green" or "Greene."

"Our fleet's fuel efficiency is unmatched by other U.S. airlines and allows Frontier to deliver not only the lowest fares but the most sustainable approach to flying," President and CEO Barry Biffle said in a statement. "We're very excited to share our green message with everyone," said Zach Kramer, a Frontier Airline spokesman, adding that many people are tagging friends with those names. Passengers must book a flight on FlyFrontier.com, must depart on Tuesday and return by Aug. 20, and must legally have the last name Green or Greene.
