Check my bag for Frontier AirlinesThe three baggage types, explained
Airlines split what you travel with into three allowances. Each has its own size and weight limit, and the one you exceed decides what you pay.
The small bag that goes under the seat in front of you — handbag, laptop bag or small backpack. Usually free and rarely weighed.
The wheeled case you take into the cabin and store in the overhead bin. Sized at the gate, and weighed by many airlines.
The large suitcase you hand over at the desk and collect at your destination. Charged by bag, with strict weight limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cabin bag free on Frontier Airlines?
Not on every fare. The cheapest option (Personal item only, no carry-on purchased) includes only a small bag up to 14 × 18 × 8 in (36 × 46 × 20 cm) that fits under the seat. A cabin bag up to 24 × 16 × 10 in (61 × 41 × 25 cm), 35 lb (16 kg) comes with Carry-on purchased / included, 35 lb.
What happens if my bag doesn't fit Frontier Airlines' sizer?
Staff can send it to the hold at the gate and charge for it, and a gate charge is usually far more than adding the bag online before you fly. The current amounts are on Frontier Airlines' own fees page. Frontier Airlines baggage fees
