There are no complimentary snacks or sodas. Water is the only food or beverage item that Frontier offers for free. This is what I carry on for most flights, so I was glad that I didn't need to change my routine or pay extra to bring my backpack on Frontier. It contained my laptop, charger, a battery pack, a change of clothes, tons of snacks, and my small purse (stuffed with all of the things I usually carry). When I boarded the plane, I carried on my backpack for free. It was perfect, just half an inch short of the maximum measurements for a personal item. I took out my old corduroy Jansport backpack that I always travel with, stuffed it, and measured. Collectively, this is only 10 inches less than the maximum measurements for a carry-on bag.įrontier suggests that personal items are typically small purses or neck pillows, but I knew that I could make my personal item function as my carry on. Measurements for a personal item on Frontier are 8"x18"x14".

Instead, I decided to bring on the biggest bag that would qualify as my free personal item. I thought these fees were pretty expensive and knew immediately that I would not pay it. It's sufficiently complicated that Frontier provides a calculator here. The cost also depends on whether you purchased your baggage allowance during the initial booking or later, during online check-in or later still, at the gate. If you do bring a full-sized carry on (10"x16"x24") the bag fee varies based on the route you're flying, your date of travel, and when you buy your baggage allowance. If you're traveling light, you can probably avoid paying Frontier's hefty carry-on baggage fee by bringing a "personal item" instead. Carry-on fees can be avoidedįrontier is one of the few airlines that charge a fee for carry on bags.

We ended up with standard seats closer to the back of the plane, but we still got to sit together without paying the seat fee.įlights were 100% full in both directions. On our return trip, we chose to check in online about 20 hours before our departure. As on most airlines, standard seats near the front of the plane cost more than the ones in the back, so we got a decent deal.

We didn't get those roomy stretch seats, but ended up with seats in row 9 for free while our other travel companions (who paid extra when making their reservation) had to sit back in row 28.
My friend and I tested our luck by checking in at the airport kiosk and being assigned to seats at the desk. Huh? Well, it seems that a lot of people (most?) are not willing to pay more for extra "stretch" legroom, which means that a flight can end up with several "stretch" seats still available by the time check-in starts. It's a bit of a gamble, but waiting for Frontier to assign free seats can sometimes mean getting a better seat than those who have paid. They even try to keep the travel party together when possible. If customers don't choose to pay for seats by the end of check-in, Frontier automatically assigns them seats for free. If you select seats during the initial booking, the fee starts at $5 for a standard seat and $16 for "stretch" seating (economy class seats near the front of the plane with more legroom.) Nerdwallet has a good rundown of Frontier fees here.īut, if you're okay with sitting anywhere, you don't have to pay at all. When booking a Frontier flight, the airline greatly encourages customers to choose and pay for seats for an extra fee.
