Frontier Airlines is officially taking reservations for its new first class seats. As of today, travelers have the option to book a more spacious seat at the front of the aircraft for flights departing March 5, 2027, and later.
The airline announced November 10 that installation of the new seats is already underway, with completion expected in less than four months. The new cabins will also feature more extra-legroom seating, while USB-C charging ports and Starlink Wi-Fi are scheduled to roll out throughout 2027.
Here’s what Frontier’s new first class will look like, how much it costs (for now), and what else is changing onboard.
Frontier’s New First Class: Seats, Pricing, and Perks
Frontier’s new first class cabin will occupy the first two rows of the aircraft. Seats will be arranged in a 2-2 configuration rather than the typical 3-3 layout.
That means wider seats, no middle seats, and up to 37 inches of seat pitch.
Reservations are now open for flights departing March 5, 2027, and later.
To celebrate the launch, Frontier is offering introductory pricing starting at $129 one way for its First bundle, which includes:
- A first class seat
- Two checked bags
- One carry-on bag
- Board First priority boarding
The promotional rate is available for new bookings made by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 16, 2026, for eligible nonstop domestic flights between March 5 and April 5, 2027.
Booking Frontier first class with miles
Travelers can also use Frontier Miles to book the new first class product, although the cost depends on whether you pay for the flight, the bundle, or both with miles.
For example, a search for Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Denver (DEN) on March 31, 2027, showed four options:
- $136 for a one-way ticket with the First bundle ($137 for non-Discount Den members)
- 5,000 miles + $115 when redeeming miles for the flight and paying for the bundle
- 8,000 miles + $27 when paying for the flight and redeeming miles for the bundle
- 13,000 miles + $6 when redeeming miles for both the flight and bundle
Ultimately, which option makes the most sense depends on how many Frontier Miles you have and how much you’d prefer to spend out of pocket.
It’s also worth keeping in mind that these prices reflect Frontier’s introductory promotion, so they (more than likely) won’t be representative of what first class will cost over the long term.

Frontier Is Adding More Extra-Legroom Seats
Beyond first class, Frontier is expanding its extra-legroom seating options across the next six rows of the aircraft.
Rows three through eight will offer up to 34 inches of pitch, giving travelers more space without paying for first class. Select rows will also feature Frontier’s UpFront Plus seating, which guarantees an empty adjacent middle seat.
These seats will be available through Frontier’s Premium bundle, with introductory pricing starting at $90 one way.
The Premium bundle includes extra-legroom seating, a carry-on bag, and Board First priority boarding. The same November 16 booking deadline and March 5–April 5 travel window apply to the introductory pricing.
Like first class, the expanded extra-legroom seating is expected to be installed by March 5, 2027.
USB-C Power and Starlink Wi-Fi Are Coming in 2027
Frontier is also making broader improvements to its onboard experience. However, these won’t necessarily be available when the new seats debut.
The airline plans to introduce USB-C charging ports at every seat in the first eight rows, covering both first class and the expanded extra-legroom section.
Separately, Frontier will begin installing Starlink Wi-Fi across its fleet, which’ll give passengers access to high-speed connectivity for browsing, streaming, and working onboard.
Both enhancements will begin rolling out in 2027, with installations progressing aircraft by aircraft throughout the year. Frontier hasn’t provided a firm completion date for either feature.
