Ultra Low Cost Carrier (ULCC) Frontier Airlines has introduced the UpFront Plus seating option. Upfront Plus awards extra space in the first two rows of the aircraft with the middle seat “blocked out.” This means passengers get either a window or isle seat, avoiding the dreaded middle seat. Unlike Spirit Airlines Big Front Seat, UpFront Plus, blocks out the middle seat yet uses the same seats as Frontier’s premium seats. UpFront Plus seating will launch April 10, 2024.
Adding Premium Add On Options
Frontier Airlines like many other ULCCs has a rock bottom base fare and charges items such as seat selection and bags. Initially introductory upgrade pricing will start at $49 per passenger per flight segment. “Frontier is all about choice and giving consumers the flexibility to customize their travel to suit their individual needs and preferences,โ said Barry Biffle, CEO, Frontier Airlines. UpFront Plus is one of four different seating options on Frontier Airlines including:
- Premium (extra legroom 36-38″ seat pitch).
- Preferred (seats towards the front of the aircraft).
- Standard (28-29″ seat pitch)
