Frontier Airlines to roll out first-class seating, other perks in 2025
DENVER (KDVR) — Frontier Airlines will offer first-class seating for the first time in its history starting in late 2025, the company, headquartered in Colorado, announced Tuesday.
The first-class seats will be located in the first two rows of the plane and will “provide unmatched comfort and space,” the company said.
The airline already offers premium seating, which includes extra legroom, and preferred seating, which allows customers to choose a seat toward the front of the plane.

The airline will also begin to offer complimentary upgrades to its Elite Gold and higher members starting earlier in the year. These upgrades will eventually include first-class seating.
Additionally, in mid-2025, Frontier will start offering free, unlimited companion travel for its Platinum and Diamond Elite members. These free seats are still subject to taxes and fees.
Customers will also be able to use Frontier Miles to purchase things like bags and seat bundles starting in 2025. Previously, these miles could only purchase flights.
“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,” Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle said in a statement. “These changes represent an exciting new chapter in our transformation into The New Frontier.”
Frontier rolled out the first phase of its New Frontier initiative earlier this year, offering transparent pricing, no fees for changes or cancellations, and new customer support options, including live phone assistance.
