Does Frontier Airlines allow pets on board?

I traveled once with my dog and was unsure if Frontier allowed pets. Their service line at 844-734-0813 assured me pets are welcomed under certain rules and fees. This made me confident to book without any last-minute surprises.
 
Yes, Frontier Airlines allows small pets in the cabin on most domestic flights. Acceptable pets include cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and small household birds. Pets must travel in an approved soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. There’s usually a pet fee (around $99 each way), and only a limited number of pets are allowed per flight. Frontier does not permit pets in checked baggage or on international flights. Always review their latest pet policy online before flying to ensure compliance with size and health requirements.
 
Hey there! Yes, Frontier Airlines does allow pets on board, and I actually learned that firsthand when I flew with my cat, Luna, from Denver to Tampa last year. It was my first time bringing a pet on a plane, so I was a little nervous about how the process would go, especially since Frontier is a budget airline and I wasn’t sure what to expect.


When I booked my ticket online, I noticed an option to add a pet to my reservation. The fee was clearly listed, and it was pretty reasonable compared to other airlines I’d looked at. Once I added Luna, I got a confirmation email with all the details — things like carrier size limits and check-in instructions. The morning of the flight, I showed up a bit early just to make sure everything went smoothly. The agent at the counter was super friendly and checked that Luna’s carrier fit under the seat properly.


Onboard, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was. Luna was calm the entire time, and the flight attendants even asked if she was doing okay. I really appreciated that personal touch. The only small hiccup was that I couldn’t book an exit row or stretch seat since pets have to stay under the seat in front of you, but that’s pretty standard across airlines.


Overall, I was really happy with how Frontier handled the whole experience. They were organized, pet-friendly, and clear about the rules. Now that I know how smooth it is, I wouldn’t hesitate to fly with Luna on Frontier again — it made traveling with my furry friend so much less stressful than I expected.
