Frontier Airlines baggage policy

When flying with Frontier Airlines, it's essential to be aware of their baggage policy, which was updated on 6 February 2025, to avoid any surprises at the airport. Frontier Airlines operates with a low-cost structure, so understanding their baggage fees and policies can help you plan your trip efficiently. Here's what you need to know:

Carry-On Baggage

Frontier allows one personal item per passenger for free, as long as it fits within the size restrictions: 8" x 14" x 18" (including handles and wheels). However, you can purchase a carry-on bag allowance if you need a larger carry-on. The fee varies depending on when and where you add the item to your booking.

Checked Baggage

Checked bags are not included in the basic fare. Prices for checked baggage depend on the route and how far in advance you purchase your baggage. The weight limit for checked baggage is 40 pounds per bag, with an additional fee for bags weighing between 41 and 50 pounds, 51 and 100 pounds, or exceeding the weight limit.

Frontier Airlines baggage fees

  • Personal Item (included): Free
  • Carry-On Bag: Starting at $45 (varies depending on the time of purchase)
  • Checked Bag (1st Bag): Starting at $39 (varies depending on the time of purchase)
  • Overweight Baggage Fees: $50-$100 for bags over 50 lbs

Baggage allowance for families

Frontier Airlines offers specific baggage allowances for strollers, car seats, and child items for families with children. These allowances do not count toward your personal item or carry-on limits. Always double-check if you qualify for these exceptions.

Oversized Baggage

If your baggage exceeds the 62-inch total size limit, you may need to pay an additional fee for oversized baggage, typically around $75 per item.

How to avoid extra fees

  • Purchase baggage ahead of time when booking or managing your Frontier flight.
  • Stick to the size and weight limits for carry-on and checked bags to avoid additional fees.
  • Consider purchasing Frontier's Discount Den membership for discounted baggage fees and other perks.
