Frontier is an ultra-low-cost airline founded in 1994. It is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and its main hub is Denver International Airport. Frontier operates an average of 350 flights per day and serves more than 75 destinations in the USA, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Mexico. Through a codeshare agreement with Great Lakes Airlines, Frontier also provides connections to smaller cities when connecting to/from a Frontier flight in Denver, Los Angeles, or Phoenix. Frontier Airlines operates a diverse fleet of Airbus A320 and Airbus A319 aircraft capable of seating between 138 and 168 passengers. Most Frontier aircraft offer an in-flight seatback entertainment system showing TV and movies. An additional fee applies for this service depending on the duration of the flight.

Frontier Airlines offers three check-in options: online check-in, self-service kiosks at the airport, and full-service check-in counters at the airport.

Online check-in is available from 24 hours to 45 minutes before the scheduled flight departure time. To check-in online, passengers will need to enter their name as it appears on the reservation and the 6-letter Frontier Airlines reservation code. Not only does online check-in save time at the airport, but passengers who check-in online enjoy discounted fees for checked baggage.

Passengers traveling with Frontier Airlines can also check-in at the airport using self-serve kiosks. To check-in, passengers must enter their reservation code, scan their confirmation number or swipe their payment card, ID, or passport. Passengers will then be able to view their itinerary, purchase carry-on baggage, check any luggage, and print the boarding pass.

For travelers who require extra help checking-in, Frontier Airlines full-service check-in counters are available at all airports. Priority check-in lanes are available for passengers traveling on a Classic Plus fare or passengers who are Summit or Ascent level members.

Boarding Information

To speed up the boarding process, Frontier boards their aircraft using Zone Boarding. First, passengers with special needs (such as those using a wheelchair or mobility device) and unaccompanied minors are allowed to board. No announcement is made for special needs boarding. Next, an announcement is made inviting passengers seated in Zone 1, Ascent and Summit level members of Frontier's frequent flyer program, passengers traveling on a Classic Plus fare, military personnel in uniform, and any passenger that has purchased a STRECH seat to board. Third, courtesy boarding is offered to families traveling with small children (under the age of 3) or anyone else requiring additional time or assistance. Finally, in order from the back of the aircraft to the front of the aircraft, passengers seated in Zones 2 through 4 are called to board. Passengers flying with Frontier Airlines are advised to be at the gate 35 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Passengers who are not at the gate 15 minutes before the scheduled boarding time may have their reservation cancelled and their seat released to other passengers.
