Frontier Airlines is heading into the second phase of The New Frontier with several new enhancements and loyalty benefits beginning next year, including free seat upgrades and more.
The airline will be offering first class seating in the first two rows of the aircraft beginning late next year for the very first time. The new seats offer more space and more comfort onboard.
Beginning in early 2025, travelers can enjoy free seat upgrades for Elite Gold members and above on every flight.
Additionally, Diamond Elite and Platinum members can fly with a companion for free on any Frontier flight beginning next summer. Those with FRONTIER Miles to spend will also be able to spend them on checked baggage, seating upgrades and more.
All FRONTIER Miles members earn 10 Miles for every $1 spent. All status levels currently enjoy no change or cancellation fees made seven days or more in advance of departure, priority customer care, family pooling, priority boarding and free advance seat assignments.
"Travelers should expect more from their airline and, in 2025, Frontier will deliver as we continue our transformation into the most rewarding airline in the sky," said Barry Biffle, CEO, Frontier Airlines. "We've listened to customers, and they want more - more premium options, like first class seating, attainable seat upgrades, more free travel for their companions, and the ability to use miles on more than just airfare. These changes represent an exciting new chapter in our transformation into The New Frontier."
Frontier’s The New Frontier debuted earlier this year in its first phase, with no change or cancellation fees, UpFront Plus seating and other services.
