checked baggage
Let us handle your stuff. Here are the rules regarding checked baggage. If you are just carrying your bag with you, be sure to read and understand the rules for carry-on baggage. These rules apply only to flights operated by Frontier Airlines. Baggage fees may vary when traveling on codeshare flights operated by another carrier. Please refer to the operating carrier's website or reservations department for more information.
Frontier offers a unique way to purchase tickets called "AirFairs" that gives you the ability to purchase travel that includes the amenities you need or want. The table below shows the three AirFair ticket types available and the baggage allowance for each. To determine which fare type is best for your trip, check out our AirFairs tutorial that will ask you a few simple questions to point you in the right direction.
Economy Classic Classic Plus Summit, Ascent
1st $20 Free Free Free
2nd $20 Free Free Free
3rd and more (each) $50 $50 $50 $50
Active duty military personnel with ID (not including family members or traveling companions) will not be assessed bag fees, and media personnel may check bags and equipment for $25 each.
International
1st Item Free
2nd Item $20
3rd Item $50
4th Item $50
5th item and more (each) $100
For your security, please keep in mind the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screens all checked baggage. Unlocked bags can be examined quickly. Locked bags will be opened if necessary, and then resealed. You can find further information on the TSA website.
That being said, we highly recommend that you do NOT pack the following items in your checked bags:
•Cash
•Jewelry
•Electronics
•Laptop computers
•Fragile items
•Medications
•Car keys
•Important documents
codeshare
On codeshare flights, baggage allowances will be determined by the policy of the carrier on which the passenger's flight originates. On codeshare flights operated by Great Lakes Airlines, Frontier's baggage fees will apply.
size and weight issues
We know it's a weighty issue, but please remember items which exceed 62 linear inches (length + width + depth) or weigh more than 50 pounds will incur a fee. There is a $75 fee for bags exceeding these weight limitations and a $75 fee for exceeding the size limitation. These fees are charged separately and one item can incur multiple fees. You can read more about baggage in the Contract of Carriage (PDF).
We take the safety of our passengers and employees very seriously. Frankly folks, our employees have to lift and carry these bags to get them to your flight and we'd really like to keep those checked bags under 50 pounds each. And, as much as we'd like to help, we don't accept baggage that weighs more than 100 pounds or exceeds 110 linear inches (length + width + depth). If you need to transport items this large, please check with your favorite package delivery company. Thanks for your understanding of our policy.
be a sport with your sports equipment
As we mentioned in the checked baggage section, you may be entitled to a free baggage allowance. Keep in mind, to avoid incurring additional charges, each item can't exceed 62 linear inches (length + width + depth) and can't exceed a weight of 50 pounds. Many special items have a specific charge or require special packing.
Please see our baggage chart for more information.
early check-in rules
We understand that you might want to leave your bags with us and have more time to hang out before your flight, but you may only drop off your baggage up to four hours prior to flight departure. However, ticket counters may not open until two to three hours prior to scheduled departure in some of our smaller cities. Check Airport & Terminal info for ticket counter hours.
Please note that baggage check-in cutoff is 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure for domestic flights (flights within the United States) at most of our airports and 60 minutes prior to scheduled departure for international flights. Some airports have a 45 minute check-in cutoff. Please go to Airport & Terminal info for these exceptions.

Frontier Airlines Carry-on Info
From the Frontier Airlines website: http://www.frontierairlines.com/frontier/plan-book/travel-info-services/baggage/carry-on-baggage.do
You can take it with you... if you follow these guidelines...
Don't get carried away with your carry-on baggage. You'll be sharing the plane with others, so please understand that we allow each passenger one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a briefcase, purse or laptop computer. All baggage is subject to inspection by airport security and our personnel. Each passenger must have his or her name and contact information on each carry-on item.
We're bound by some legal rules, as stated by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), "Prohibited items are weapons, explosives, incendiaries, and include items that are seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons - the so-called 'dual use' items. You may not bring these items to security checkpoints without authorization." Click here to review a list of permitted and prohibited items which may be included in carry-on baggage, provided by the TSA.
Now get out your measuring tape and scale. We allow each passenger to board with one piece of carry-on baggage. Your carry-on bag's dimensions can't exceed 49 linear inches with maximum dimensions of 9.5" height + 15.5" width + 24" length and the bag can't weigh more than 35 pounds. Your carry-on bag must fit underneath the seat or in an enclosed overhead bin.
We try to be as flexible and accommodating as possible, but keep in mind these policies help us make sure there's enough room for everyone and their items on the plane. Our main concern is the comfort and safety of our passengers. We thank you for your understanding.
In addition to the one carry-on bag allowance, the following personal articles may be carried on the aircraft:
•Handbag or pocketbook
•Coat or wrap
•Umbrella or walking stick
•Camera or binoculars
•Briefcase or laptop computer case
•Canes, crutches, braces or other assistive devices on which the passenger is dependent*
•Infant bag
•Infant/child safety seat used to transport the infant/child (if the child has a ticket and will be using the seat in flight, it must be an FAA approved safety seat)**
•A reasonable amount of reading material

TSA Regulations for Carry-On Baggage
From this website: http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm
Make Your Trip Better Using 3-1-1
TSA and our security partners conducted extensive explosives testing since August 10, 2006 and determined that liquids, aerosols and gels, in limited quantities, are safe to bring aboard an aircraft. The one bag limit per traveler limits the total amount each traveler can bring. Consolidating the bottles into one bag and X-raying them separately from the carry-on bag enables security officers to quickly clear the items.
3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.
Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. Officers may need to open these items to conduct additional screening.

• Sleeping bag adequate for winter cold
• Wool blanket (especially if sleeping bag is not very warm)
• Twin fitted or flat sheet

• Face soap
• Shampoo & conditioner
• Chapstick (a must in winter!)
• Sunscreen (above SPF 15, high altitude = more intense sunrays)
• Deodorant
• Facial tissue
• Washcloth, bath towel and/or hand towel
• Comb or hairbrush
• Hairdryer
• Flashlight (check the batteries, then flip the batteries during traveling)
• Medication—to be turned in to Mrs. Boura prior to the trip, with your name on it)
For the trail:

• 2 water bottles-1 quart each
• hat or baseball cap
• sunglasses (Even in the winter! Snow reflects a lot of light.)
Foul weather gear:
• mittens or gloves

• rain pants
Footwear:
• hiking boots/shoes, waterproofed and broken in
• clean shoes for wearing in the dorm/mess hall (this is the “dry pair for indoor use at Yellowstone)
• warm slippers
Clothing:
Winter clothing list
• Dress warmly and on layers. The layered use of synthetics and wool with additional protection from the wind is the goal of your clothing choices. Loose fitting layers allow you to maintain a comfortable and dry body by having flexibility in insulation as outside temperatures change and as your own body temperature and moisture output changes with varying levels of exertion.
• It is strongly recommended that you not wear cotton clothing outdoors in the winter, especially next to your skin.
• The use of hair dryers is recommended on winter expeditions as the weather can be very cold and a lot of body heat is lost through the head.
• The use of hand and feet warmers is a great comfort on the trail to cold fingers and toes. These inexpensive chemical packets can be purchased at most outdoor stores.
Ideal clothing list from the skin out
• Synthetic underwear. A light or medium weight is adequate. Synthetic is best, but wool is fine. Wool shirt or polypro shirt/sweater (a light weight, synthetic fleece garment is recommended.)
• Wool/fleece sweater. This is where a slightly heavier layer can be very helpful for less active times. A mid-weight fleece garment is good.
• Down Vest or sweater. Down has the advantage of being very light and compact for its warmth, but becomes useless when wet. It is useful here for a warm, compact layer for less active times.
• Wind shell with a hood. A layer that breaks the wind yet breathes is important. A breathable nylon shell is good. Gore-Tex are excellent.
• Wool, polypro, or fleece gloves. Hands usually stay warm while exercising and a light covering adequate. Warmer mittens are for rest times and very cold weather. Mittens are warmer than gloves.
• Shell over-mitt. To protect mittens from wind, moisture, and wear and tear.
• Hat that can cover your ears. Rag wool synthetic cap, or balaclava- type hats are good.
• Synthetic neck warmer or neck gaiter. These can be very helpful in keeping valuable heat in.
• Socks. A Light polypro liner with a heavier, wool sock over adequate. There are excellent winter socks on the market. Stay away from cotton. Extra socks are always useful.
• Synthetic fleece/pile pants or wool plants. Mid-weight fleece pants are ideal. Wool army surplus pants are good as well as the kind of ski pants used for protection from the wind.
• Pant shell that allows you to be in the snow and still stay dry.
• Gaiters. Knee-high to keep the snow out of your boots and to keep your socks and pants dry.
• Footwear. They should be warm and large enough to fit over thick socks. Tight boots are the surest way to get painfully cold feet. Pack boots or snow boots are ideal. 1-2 extra pairs of shoes or slippers for use in the dorm or mess hall. One pair of indoor shoes must be closed toe for cooking and cleaning chores.
