Ultra-low fare carrier Frontier Airlines is thrilled to launch a major enhancement for its most loyal customers: expanded access to free seat upgrades for Elite Status members. This marks the first of several exciting innovations coming in 2025 as part of The New Frontier, Frontier’s ongoing commitment to affordability, comfort, and exceptional value. Starting today, eligible Elite Status members can upgrade to both Premium Seating and UpFront Plus, featuring guaranteed open middle seats. Later this year, upgrades to the all-new First Class seating will also become available.

 

New Benefits for Elite Members 

Platinum Members: Eligible for upgrades starting 12 hours before departure 

Gold Members: Eligible for upgrades starting four hours before departure 

Seat upgrades can be selected easily through the Frontier Airlines mobile app or on flyfrontier.com.

“We have so much in store for 2025 as we write the next chapter of The New Frontier and show that luxury and affordability can fly hand in hand,” said Chief Commercial Officer Bobby Schroeter, Frontier Airlines. “Frontier’s most loyal customers will have even more reason to make us their airline of choice this year as they start enjoying free seat upgrades and other enhancements, adding extra comfort and convenience to their travel.” 

 

Fast-Track Platinum Elite Status 

Through a limited time offer, consumers can fast-track achievement of Platinum Elite Status by earning 20,000 Elite Status Points by April 30, 2025. Doing so will unlock Platinum Elite Status through the end of the year which will include free seat upgrades as well as Frontier’s new free, unlimited companion travel launching mid-year**. Typically, Platinum Elite Status requires an accrual of 50,000 Elite Status Points, meaning this opportunity reduces the threshold for consumers by more than half.  

Accumulating Elite Status Points is faster and easier for FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard® cardmembers, who earn 1 point per dollar spent with the card and also enjoy other exclusive perks including two free checked bags on every flight and instant Elite Gold Status for 90 days after their first purchase with the card.
