How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Leave margin instead of relying on discretionary gate behavior.

Frontier Airlines liquids policy

Consult current TSA and departure/transfer-airport screening rules, including baby-food and medical exceptions. The airline baggage allowance is separate from security permission.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

A child under 2 may travel on an adult’s lap; international taxes can apply. The accompanying adult may bring an additional personal item such as a diaper bag free.

Stroller

Free gate-check.

Car seat

Free checked carriage. An FAA-approved labelled seat may be used onboard with a purchased child seat, subject to seating restrictions.
