Frontier Airlines Adds More Luxury Aboard
Frontier Airlines announced today what it calls the next phase of its game-changing transformation, The New Frontier. Rolling out in 2025, these enhancements promise more comfort, value, and rewards for travelers.
Key features include First Class seating, free seat upgrades into Frontier’s premium seat offerings for Elite members, unlimited free companion travel, and more ways to redeem FRONTIER Miles. There’s also a credit card bonus of up to 100K miles. The new features mark the second phase of The New Frontier.
The news comes as the industry, and especially budget carriers, are battling for customers who are willing to pay more for personal space and perks.
Earlier this year, Frontier introduced the first phase of The New Frontier which included UpFront Plus seating, with a guaranteed empty middle seat and extra legroom at the front of the plane. In August, Frontier introduced FREE checked bags on every Frontier flight when you book with the FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard.
Let’s see all the upcoming changes announced today.
First Class Seating
Frontier introduces First Class seating, combining luxury and value. Debuting in late 2025, these premium seats provide unmatched comfort and space at Frontier’s trademark affordable prices. Elite Gold members and above can enjoy free upgrades, making first-class travel more accessible than ever.
More Perks
Members of FRONTIER Miles with Elite Status will enjoy a variety of exciting new benefits in 2025 — and no airline makes attaining Elite Status easier or faster. New benefits include:
Free Seat Upgrades
Starting early 2025, Frontier’s Elite loyalty members will enjoy free upgrades on every flight, subject to availability and status level. From UpFront Plus seating with guaranteed empty middle seats to premium First Class seating (available late 2025), the upgrade options ensure more comfort for valued customers. This enriches the benefits of Gold Status and above (those members currently receive complimentary upgrades to Premium seats, when available).
Free Unlimited Companion Travel
Frontier is breaking barriers with free, unlimited companion travel for Platinum and Diamond Elite members starting mid-2025. Bring a friend or family member on any flight with unmatched flexibility, saving members even more. This unique perk will provide unprecedented value to eligible members with an unlimited number of bookings for anyone, on any flight. Additional details available at FlyFrontier.com/bignews.
Companion Travel fares are subject to government-imposed taxes and fees. Companion must have a FRONTIER Miles account number, added at the time of initial booking within the same ticket. There is no limit on the number of times the Companion Travel benefit can be used.
Use FRONTIER Miles to Purchase Bags and Seat Bundles
In mid-2025, FRONTIER Miles can be used for more than flights. Customers will be able to redeem miles for bundled options such as baggage, seats, and other add-ons, with transparent pricing across four tailored bundles: Basic, Economy, Premium, and Business.
New Benefits
FRONTIER Miles is free to join and offers the highest earn per dollars spent in the airline industry, with 10 Miles earned for every $1 spent. There are four status levels – Silver (10K), Gold (20K), Platinum (50K) and Diamond (100K).

- No change or cancel fees made seven days or more in advance of flight departure. (Note: Fare and options price difference applies)

100K Credit Card Bonus
