What Does Frontier Airlines Charge for Bags?

I learned the hard way about Frontier Airlines’ bag fees when I booked a super cheap flight to Denver. The base fare looked amazing, but I didn’t realize that both carry-on and checked bags cost extra depending on when and how you buy them. I ended up calling 844-734-0813 to sort it out, and the rep explained everything clearly—prices vary if you pay during booking, after booking, or at the airport (cheaper the earlier you do it!). They even helped me modify my booking to include a checked bag and saved me around $30. So if you’re flying Frontier, definitely check bag fees ahead or call that number to confirm what’s best for your route. It’s super convenient for booking, cancellations, or flight changes too. Frontier’s fares are low, but knowing how their fees work makes a big difference!
 
Here’s a concise overview of what Frontier Airlines charges for baggage:


  • A personal item (e.g., a small backpack or purse) is included free with your fare.
  • A carry-on bag (size up to 10″D × 16″W × 24″H, max weight 35lb) must be purchased and the fee varies by route and timing (e.g., booking early vs at the airport).
  • A checked bag (size limit 62 linear inches, typically up to 40-50lb) also has variable fees. Checked baggage fees differ based on when you buy and the route taken.
  • Overweight (41-50lb, 51-100lb) and oversized bags (63-110 linear inches) incur additional charges (for example $75–$100 for overweight).

If you tell me the specific route or fare class, I can check the exact current fee for you.
