Low-cost airline Frontier just included free baggage in an airfare sale, and the company is not fooling.
The carrier’s latest sale, which dropped on April 1 (April Fools’ Day), is no joke, officials wrote in a press release. Travelers can snag one-way airfare for as low as $39 plus a free checked bag through April 7.
The deal is good for nonstop travel on Tuesday and Wednesday between April 22 and August 18, and a seven-day advance purchase is required. Higher sale fares are available Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
“We are excited to offer even bigger savings on America’s Greenest Airline,” said Jeff Werkheiser, senior director of brand and customer engagement for Frontier Airlines, in a statement. “Ultra-low fares and a free checked bag means exceptional value for consumers planning to visit family and friends or enjoy a getaway this spring and summer.”
Travelers should note the following blackout days: May 23-24 and May 26 and July 2-3 and July 5. Also, not all markets are available for all dates of travel and a round trip purchase is not required.
The free checked bag is only available for new bookings and is there’s a limit of one checked bag per person, per direction, and the weight limit applies.
Travelers can book at FlyFrontier.com or on the Frontier mobile app and use the promo code FREEBAG.
Last year, Frontier introduced Upfront Plus, an upgraded seating option in which travelers enjoy a window or aisle seat with extra legroom and a guaranteed empty middle seat.
In the coming months, the airline will introduce free, unlimited companion travel for its most loyal customers. And, debuting in late 2025, Frontier will begin offering first class seating on every flight.
