Frontier Airlines Introduces First Class Seats, with Fares Starting at $129
The Denver-based carrier is adding two rows of first-class seats and selling one-way bundles for $129 as it expands premium options across its fleet.
On Tuesday, Frontier Airlines officially launched sales for its new first-class cabin, featuring two rows of seats in a 2x2 configuration; flights offering the service begin March 5 on its Airbus A320 aircraft.
Frontier is offering one-way $129 bundles that include first-class seats, while also selling one-way $90 "premium bundle." options providing extra legroom seating for budget-conscious travelers.
Elite members of the Frontier Miles loyalty program can secure complimentary upgrades, with Diamond members clearing seats up to 24 hours before flight, Platinum members at 18 hours, and Gold members at eight hours.
Rows 3 through 8 will feature extra legroom seats, with at least one row offering the "UpFront Plus" product that includes a guaranteed empty middle seat; USB-C ports are being installed in the first eight rows.
Early next year, Frontier plans to install Starlink service; chief commercial officer Bobby Schroeter noted this will move the airline to "the fastest wifi in the sky," as competitors JetBlue and Allegiant Air adopt similar premium offerings.
