How Frontier seats & upgrades generally work
The essentials. Availability and price depend on your fare, bundle, route and timing.
On the base fare you can pay to pick any seat; if you don't, Frontier assigns one at check-in, which may split your group up. Bundles include seat selection.
Traveling as a family or group, buy seat selection or a bundle as early as you can — the best adjacent seats and window/aisle pairs go first, especially on full flights.
Frontier's Stretch seats offer more legroom and better locations for an add-on price, and they're included in the Premium bundle. They're limited and sell out on popular flights.
UpFront Plus seats are at the front of the cabin with the middle seat kept empty — Frontier's most comfortable option, included in the Business bundle or bought separately.
Higher Frontier Miles elite tiers can unlock seat perks; add your Frontier Miles number so any benefit applies to the booking.
Seat prices vary by seat type, route and timing and change constantly, so we don't list amounts. Tell us your flight and how many are traveling, and we'll check what's open and reserve the right seats for you.
Seat options by fare and bundle
General guidance — what's included and what's paid depends on your fare and route.

Best when you need bags too
