Frontier Airlines Cancellation Policy Overview

The cancellation policy depends on the type of ticket purchased and when the cancellation is requested.
Key points:
24-Hour Cancellation Rule: Passengers can cancel any flight within 24 hours of booking (if the flight is scheduled at least 7 days away) and receive a full refund.
Cancellation Fees: Beyond 24 hours, cancellation fees may apply based on the fare type and time left before departure.
Refund Eligibility: Most Frontier fares are non-refundable, but you may receive a Future Travel Credit instead of cash.
Refundable Tickets: If you purchased a refundable ticket or special add-ons like Frontier’s Refund Option, you can request a full cash refund.
