Frontier says it will debut a dedicated first-class product next year. The budget carrier joins a growing list of U.S. airlines looking to bolster their premium perks.
In a Tuesday news release, the airline said the new seats will offer “unmatched comfort and space at Frontier’s trademark affordable prices.” Frontier’s Elite Gold members and above will receive free upgrades to the new seats.
The seats will occupy the first two rows of the aircraft in a 2-by-2 configuration. Frontier says the new product will become available in late 2025.
“Travelers should expect more from their airline and, in 2025, Frontier will deliver as we continue our transformation into the most rewarding airline in the sky,” CEO Barry Biffle said in a news release. “We’ve listened to customers, and they want more – more premium options, like first class seating, attainable seat upgrades, more free travel for their companions, and the ability to use miles on more than just airfare. These changes represent an exciting new chapter in our transformation into The New Frontier.”
Frontier is the latest U.S. airline to upgrade its premium offerings. Earlier this year, Southwest announced plans for extra-legroom seating on its flights.
