Frontier Airlines has begun selling first-class tickets for its inaugural first-class cabin, which will debut in March 2027. The eight-seat first-class section will be located in the front two rows of the aircraft and will offer up to 37 inches of legroom.

The airline is also introducing extra-legroom seats in rows three through eight, available with its Premium bundle starting at $90 one way. Frontier plans to add in-seat USB-C power and Starlink Wi-Fi by 2027.

The move comes as low-cost carriers increasingly target premium travelers with enhanced services. The First bundle includes the new first-class seat, two checked bags, a carry-on, and priority boarding, with introductory pricing available for bookings made by November 16.

The airline’s cabin transformation includes additional perks such as in-seat power for the first eight rows and Starlink Wi-Fi, which will be the first U.S. airline to use Starlink’s system. Frontier’s chief marketing officer said the upgrades aim to bring a new level of comfort and convenience to flying with the carrier.

The first-class seats are part of a broader effort by low-cost airlines to attract premium passengers, with JetBlue also launching its BlueFirst cabin in December 2026.

What this means for travellers

Travellers flying Frontier between March and April 2027 can book first-class seats with extra legroom and priority boarding for $129 one way, but only until November 16.
