Frontier Airlines' Unaccompanied Minor Policy

Frontier's unaccompanied minor policy offers services for children traveling alone, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the flight. Here's everything you need to know about the unaccompanied minor policy:

Age Requirements

  • Unaccompanied Minors: Children ages 5 to 14 can travel alone as unaccompanied minors on Frontier Airlines flights.
  • 15 and older: Passengers aged 15 and above are not considered unaccompanied minors and can fly without special requirements.

Unaccompanied Minor Fees

Frontier Airlines unaccompanied minor fee is an additional charge. Depending on the route, the fee generally starts at $110 each way. This covers the special care and attention provided to the child during the flight.

Guidelines for Unaccompanied Minor Travel

  • Booking: You must book unaccompanied minor service when purchasing the flight ticket. It's advised to do this as early as possible since there are only a limited number of unaccompanied minor spaces on each flight.
  • Drop-Off and Pickup: Parents or guardians must check in the unaccompanied minor at the airport and remain there until the flight departs. Upon arrival, the child will only be released to the designated adult to pick them up.
  • Flight Restrictions: Unaccompanied minors cannot travel on connecting flights, international routes, or flights operated by codeshare partners. When booking, make sure to check if your flight qualifies for unaccompanied minor services.

Special Considerations

  • Identification: The adult accompanying the unaccompanied minor to the airport must have valid identification for check-in and drop-off.
  • Arrival and Departure Times: It's important to note that the child must arrive at the airport early for check-in and security procedures, as they require special attention.

Frontier Airlines' Infant Policy

Frontier Airlines offers specific policies for infants, ensuring that babies and toddlers travel comfortably and safely. Here's what to expect when traveling with an infant:

Age Requirements

  • Infant Definition: Infants are defined as children under the age of 2 years old.
  • Traveling with a Lap Infant: Children under 2 can fly for free on your lap. However, if you'd like a separate seat for your infant, you must purchase a ticket for them.

Infant Fees

  • Lap Child (under 2 years old): There is no charge for the infant when seated on an adult's lap. However, the $50 fee applies to those flying internationally.
  • Infant Seat: If you prefer your infant to have their own seat, you'll need to purchase a separate ticket for them and ensure you bring an FAA-approved car seat for safety during the flight.

Carrying Infant Gear

  • Strollers and Car Seats: Frontier allows one stroller and one car seat per infant to be checked free of charge. For convenience, you can also gate-check these items.
  • Diaper Bags: Parents are allowed to bring a diaper bag in addition to the carry-on baggage allowance as long as it fits the airline's carry-on size restrictions.

Other Considerations

  • Baby Food: You can bring baby food, formula, and breast milk in reasonable quantities for your flight, even if these exceed the usual liquid restrictions at security checkpoints.
  • Seating: The infant must sit on your lap unless you've purchased a separate seat for them. Frontier recommends that the infant sit in a rear-facing car seat if you opt to book an extra seat.
