Baggage Rules, Limits, & Fees

When it comes to traveling by air, it is important to be aware of the baggage rules, limits, and fees imposed by the airline you are flying with. This article will provide an overview of Frontier Airlines' baggage policies and highlight any special considerations for members of frequent flier programs, domestic vs international limits and fees, and other relevant rules.

Carry-On Bags

Frontier Airlines allows passengers to bring one personal item on board free of charge. This can include a purse, laptop bag, or small backpack that fits under the seat in front of you. The dimensions of the personal item should not exceed 18 x 14 x 8 inches.

Airline Tips and Traveler Help

In addition to the personal item, passengers can also bring one carry-on bag on board. The dimensions of the carry-on bag should not exceed 24 x 16 x 10 inches. However, it is important to note that Frontier Airlines charges a fee for carry-on bags, unless you are a member of their frequent flier program, Frontier Miles.

Frontier Miles members who have achieved Elite status or are traveling in Classic Plus fare class can bring one carry-on bag on board free of charge. For other Frontier Miles members, the fee for a carry-on bag varies depending on the route and when the bag is purchased. It is recommended to check with the airline for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Checked Baggage

Frontier Airlines allows passengers to check up to 5 bags per person. However, it is important to note that each checked bag is subject to a fee, unless you are a member of Frontier Miles with Elite status or are traveling in Classic Plus fare class.

The weight limit for each checked bag is 50 pounds, and the dimensions should not exceed 62 linear inches (length + width + height). Any bags exceeding these limits will be subject to additional fees.

For domestic flights, the fees for checked bags vary depending on the route and when the bag is purchased. It is recommended to check with the airline for the most accurate and up-to-date information on fees. For international flights, the fees for checked bags are generally higher compared to domestic flights, and again, it is important to check with the airline for specific details.

Extra, Oversized, and Special Items

Frontier Airlines has specific rules and fees for extra, oversized, and special items such as sporting equipment, musical instruments, and other non-standard baggage. These items may require additional fees and special handling.

It is recommended to contact Frontier Airlines directly to inquire about the specific rules and fees for transporting extra, oversized, or special items. The airline will be able to provide the most accurate information and assist you in making the necessary arrangements for your specific needs.

Note that air carriers often change the details of these rules and requirements, so be sure to check directly with Frontier Airlines on the day you are flying for the most accurate information.
