Frontier raising checked bag fees

Friday, 20 March 20153 min read

Low cost carrier Frontier Airlines is raising the price of checked bag fees from May 1.

The fee increases range from $5 to $10 per checked bag, with the biggest rise for bags checked last-minute at the gate which will go up from the current $50 to $60.

Passengers will pay $25 – a increase of $5 – at airport check-in or through a Frontier call center.

The existing $20 checked bag fee remains unchanged for customers who book the service online at FlyFrontier.com any time prior to the time of departure.

The airline also charges for carry-on bags but said there will be no change in the price for now, which ranges from $30 to $40, depending on the time of purchase.

Passengers traveling on the more expensive ‘classic plus’ tickets will still receive a free carry-on and one free checked bag and select seat assignment.
