CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – A popular low-cost airline with nearly 20 routes from Charlotte is introducing a new, “affordable luxury” first-class flying experience.
Frontier Airlines announced the new accommodations Tuesday, and said they are expected to become available next year.
Perhaps the most eye-catching new feature is the introduction of Frontier’s first-class seating. The airline described the seats as luxurious and spacious, and said they will take up planes’ first two rows. Passengers will be able to book the new seats beginning in late 2025.
Also new to the airline in 2025 will be free seat upgrades on every flight for Elite Gold, Platinum and Diamond members. That perk will kick in early in the year. The complimentary upgrades will include the new first-class seats.
Frontier also said it will offer free companion travel for some status levels, and the ability to redeem miles for bags and seat bundles.
“We’ve listened to customers, and they want more – more premium options, like first class seating, attainable seat upgrades, more free travel for their companions, and the ability to use miles on more than just airfare,” Frontier CEO Barry Biffle said. “These changes represent an exciting new chapter in our transformation into ‘The New Frontier.’”

According to Frontier’s website, it flies to 18 places from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, including New York City, Chicago, Las Vegas, Boston and Miami. International destinations include Guadalajara, Mexico City and Puerto Rico.
