Nicely, their baggage, anyway.
Efficient March 1, the Denver-based provider is altering its coverage on how a lot you may cram into your suitcase. As a substitute of with the ability to carry 50 kilos per bag, Frontier is reducing the burden restrict on baggage to 40 kilos.
And you recognize what they are saying about weight-reduction plan – that final 5 to 10 kilos is the toughest to lose.
The luggage charges will stay the identical however beginning subsequent month in case your bag is obese you’ll incur a $50 cost beginning at 41 kilos of weight as an alternative of at 51. And, you solely have 10 kilos of leeway with that cost. In case your bag weighs 51 kilos and up, it’s a $100 charge.
@FlyFrontier reducing the checked dangerous weight restrict to 40lbs and charging ADDITIONAL $50 every manner for 41-50lbs is ridiculous! I’ve at all times been professional Frontier and fly you usually (elite 20k) however this may make me rethink that for journeys the place I test a bag.

The change is for tickets bought on or after January 18. When you booked previous to January 18, you may nonetheless convey a bag that weighs as much as 50 kilos with out getting nailed with the brand new charge. Something over 50 kilos and it’s a $75 cost.
Frontier’s new 40-pound coverage isn’t new, as Spirit and Allegiant have already got a 40-pound restrict in place. Most different airways nonetheless keep a 50-pound restrict earlier than charging obese charges.
