14 Nov
Summary
- Frontier introduces First Class seats with extra legroom.
- Introductory bundles start at $129 one-way for premium travel.
- New seating and tech upgrades are expected by March 2027.
Frontier Airlines is introducing a dedicated First Class cabin, marking a departure from its typically cramped seating arrangements. Reservations opened on November 10, 2026, for travel commencing March 5, 2027. The initial two rows will feature a two-by-two configuration, removing middle seats and providing up to 37 inches of pitch.
Additionally, the airline is enhancing its extra-legroom options for rows three through eight, offering up to 34 inches of pitch and the availability of 'UpFront Plus' to guarantee an empty adjacent middle seat. Introductory bundles are available, with the 'First' bundle starting at $129 one-way, including a First Class seat, multiple bags, and priority boarding.
The installation of the new seating is scheduled for completion by March 5, 2027. USB-C power will be available at every seat in the first eight rows, and Starlink Wi-Fi will be implemented across the fleet. Both technological upgrades are set to begin installation in 2027 and continue throughout the year on an aircraft-by-aircraft basis.
