Frontier's new First bundle starts at $129 one way and includes two checked bags, but don't expect free snacks or a seat that reclines. Flights start March 5, 2027.
Frontier Airlines is officially selling first class. The budget airline opened reservations Tuesday, Nov. 10, for its new First Class seats, with the first flights on March 5, 2027.
The intro price is the hook. Frontier's First bundle starts at $129 one way and comes with a First Class seat, two checked bags, a carry-on and priority boarding, according to the airline's announcement.
That deal has a short fuse. You have to book by 11:59 p.m. ET Monday, Nov. 16, for nonstop domestic flights on select days from March 5 to April 5, 2027. That's right in spring break season.
"We're transforming what customers can expect when they fly Frontier," said Bobby Schroeter, Frontier's chief marketing officer.
What do you get in Frontier First Class?
A bigger seat and a lot of things you still pay for. Here's the breakdown from Frontier and One Mile at a Time:
Seats: First two rows, two by two, with no middle seats and up to 37 inches of pitch
Count: Eight First Class seats per plane, One Mile at a Time reported
Recline: None. Frontier says the seats are "pre-reclined" and don't convert to lie-flat beds
Food and drinks: Not included. Everyone buys snacks and drinks onboard
Power: USB-C ports, Frontier's first in-seat power
Bundle extras: Two checked bags up to 50 pounds, a carry-on, a personal item, Board First boarding and no change or cancel fees, One Mile at a Time reported
So it's basically a roomy recliner that someone already set and walked away from. But the bags are in the bundle.
How much does Frontier First Class cost?
Frontier lists the First bundle from $129 one way and a new Premium bundle from $90 one way. Both are introductory prices, per passenger, per direction. Bundles have to be bought with the flight on FlyFrontier.com or the Frontier app.
One Mile at a Time priced a sample Denver to Los Angeles flight after sales opened:
Basic fare: $119
Economy bundle: $142
Premium bundle: $172
First bundle: $244
Is Frontier First Class worth it for a Disney World trip?
The bag math is where it gets interesting for families. JetBlue's new fees, for tickets bought since Nov. 3, start at $50 for a first bag and $70 for a second each way off-peak when you pay ahead, the Associated Press reported. That's $120 a person each way before you even pick a seat.
Frontier's First bundle folds two bags into the price. For a family hauling strollers, ears and souvenir popcorn buckets to Orlando, that's worth pricing out.
Frontier is growing in Orlando, too. It starts [new nonstops from Orlando to Bogota, Cartagena and Medellin](https://news.piratesandprincesses.net/p/8-new-nonstop-flights-to-orlando) in December.
What else is changing on Frontier planes?
Rows 3 through 8 become extra-legroom seats with up to 34 inches of pitch, sold in the Premium bundle. That bundle includes an extra-legroom seat, a carry-on and Board First boarding.
Some of those rows will offer UpFront Plus, which guarantees an empty middle seat next to you.
Frontier is also rolling out USB-C power in the first eight rows and Starlink Wi-Fi, plane by plane, throughout 2027.
When do Frontier's First Class seats start flying?
Installation has already begun, and Frontier expects to finish on March 5, 2027. Retrofits started in late October, View from the Wing reported in October, citing an internal memo.
Until the whole fleet is done, some flyers may land the bigger seats early. The memo said they'd be sold as UpFront Plus during the switch.
