Frontier Opens First‑Class Bookings as It Adds Two‑Row Premium Cabin

The move signals a push to win higher‑paying travelers and boost loyalty revenue by selling a new front‑cabin product and extra‑legroom bundles.

Overview

  • Frontier began selling first‑class seats on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, for travel that starts March 5, 2027, and the carrier says installations of the new front‑cabin seats are already under way.
  • The new first‑class cabin will have two rows in a 2x2 layout with up to 37 inches of pitch and seats described as “ergonomically reclined” rather than mechanically reclining.
  • Rows three through eight will offer extra‑legroom seats with up to 34 inches of pitch sold as part of a Premium bundle that includes a carry‑on and priority boarding.
  • Frontier is marketing introductory bundle pricing reported at $129 one‑way for First and $90 one‑way for Premium, and it published elite upgrade windows that clear from four hours (Silver) up to 24 hours (Diamond) before departure.
  • The carrier plans to add in‑seat USB‑C power in the first eight rows and install Starlink inflight Wi‑Fi through 2027, a shift that follows similar premium moves by other low‑cost U.S. airlines and may change how domestic premium seats are priced and sold.
