Frontier Airlines has started selling first-class seats for the first time, marking a new chapter for the budget carrier. The first-class seats are located in the first two rows of its Airbus planes and are described as 'ergonomically reclined,' though they do not recline.

The price for first-class tickets is lower than competitors, with one-way bundles available for $129, including two free checked bags. Frontier Miles members with elite status can upgrade to first class when booking economy or premium bundle tickets.

The airline also plans to install Starlink Wi-Fi on its planes starting in 2027 and reconfigure its extra legroom section. Extra legroom seats will be available in rows 3–8, with at least one row offering the UpFront Plus product that guarantees an empty middle seat.

USB-C ports are being installed in the first eight rows of Frontier’s planes.

The introduction of first-class seats represents a significant shift for Frontier, which has long been known for its budget-friendly approach. Travelers can now book these seats starting March 5, with installation already underway on some of the airline’s aircraft.
