Frontier baggage, made simple

Frontier is an ultra-low-cost carrier, so most bags are priced separately from the base fare — and the airport is the most expensive place to add one. Here's how to know what you'll pay before you get there.

    How Frontier baggage generally works

    General guidance. Your exact allowance depends on your fare or bundle and your route.

    Personal item is included:

    A personal item that fits under the seat in front of you is included on Frontier fares. Confirm the size limit — it's measured and enforced at the gate.

    Carry-on and checked bags cost extra on the base fare:

    On the unbundled base fare, both a carry-on and checked bags are paid add-ons. Buying them online well ahead of travel is cheaper than adding them at the gate or counter.

    Bundles include bags:

    The Economy, Premium and Business bundles roll bags into the fare — the higher the bundle, the more is included, so a bundle can beat buying à la carte.

    Add bags before the airport:

    Frontier prices bags in tiers that rise as you get closer to departure, with the gate being the most expensive. Pre-paying online is the single easiest way to save.

    Special and oversize items:

    Sports equipment, instruments and oversize items follow specific size and weight rules and cost more — arrange them in advance so nothing is a surprise at check-in.

    Allowances and bag charges vary by fare, bundle and how far ahead you buy, and they change often. We don't publish bag prices — tell us your ticket and we'll confirm your exact allowance and add bags for you before the price climbs.

    Personal item only vs. adding bags

    Pick the right approach before you get to the airport.

    Personal item only

    Cheapest, ULCC-style

    • Included on the base fare — must fit under the seat
    • No carry-on, so pack light and smart
    • Liquids follow the cabin 3-1-1 rule
    • Skips every bag charge — the true low-cost play

    Carry-on and/or checked

    For real trips

    • Paid on the base fare; included in bundles
    • Cheapest bought online well before departure
    • Gate is the most expensive place to add one
    • A bundle can be cheaper than buying each add-on

    Buy bags before the airport, every time. Frontier's bag prices climb as departure nears and peak at the gate — pre-paying online, or letting us add them to your booking early, is the simplest way to keep an ultra-low fare actually low.

    Frequently asked

    Is a carry-on free on Frontier?+
    Not on the base fare — a carry-on is a paid add-on, while the under-seat personal item is included. The Economy, Premium and Business bundles include a carry-on. Tell us your fare and we'll confirm what you already have.
    Is it cheaper to add a bag online or at the airport?+
    Online and early, without question. Frontier's bag prices rise the closer you get to departure, and the gate is the most expensive point. Give us your confirmation code and we'll add bags before the price goes up.
    Should I buy a bundle or pay per bag?+
    It depends on how much you're bringing. If you need a carry-on, a checked bag and a seat, a bundle often costs less than buying each separately. We can compare both for your trip so you don't overpay.
    What about a stroller, sports gear or an instrument?+
    These are accepted with specific size and weight rules and are best arranged in advance. Tell us what you're carrying and we'll set it up so nothing is refused at the gate.
