Frontier Airlines is an ultra-low-cost carrier, typically offering very low base fares with no extras. If you want to choose your own seat, bring a checked or carry-on bag, or the flexibility to change or cancel your flight, you will need to pay extra. So Frontier’s extremely low fares are great for the low-maintenance traveler who can fly with just a personal item. But for a family that must pay for bags, seats and other basics, those $19 tickets can get expensive fast.
For these travelers, Frontier offers a solution in its bundle deals, called the Perks and the Works. These deals include bag fees, seat selection and some other perks for one flat fee. Here, we're going to focus specifically on the Works bundle, which has variable pricing, making it hard to nail down a value.
The Works offers a carry-on bag, a checked bag, seat selection and priority boarding. The Works bundle also offers the ability to change or cancel your flight up to 24 hours before departure, as well as the ability to select stretch or exit row seating.
Both the Works and the Perks bundles apply to every passenger on your reservation. So if you purchase the Works bundle, your travel companions will be able to bring one carry-on and one checked bag, plus select their seat without any additional charge.
You can purchase the Works bundle only at the time of booking on Frontier’s website. Alternatively, you can add the Perks bundle after you book or even on a third-party booking site (though it will be cheapest to purchase during your initial booking).
The cost for the Works bundle varies per destination and time frame. The easiest way to deduce how much this package deal costs is to do a sample booking for your dates and route. After you fill in your passenger information, you will see the price for adding the Works bundle to your journey.
This test search will give you a ballpark idea of potential costs, but keep in mind that the price could change between your test search and the time you confirm and pay for your flight.
The personal item you’re allowed with most Frontier fares must be no more than 8 inches deep by 18 inches wide by 14 inches high. The fees for checked and carry-on bags vary depending on the route, the date you’re flying and when you pay for them.
Frontier offers a bag fee checker on its website, where you can enter dates and routes to get an idea of how much bags will cost for your flight.
