Frontier Airlines operates as an ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC), which means their base fares are budget-friendly, but certain services (like baggage, seat selection, or flight changes) may involve additional costs. 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.

Frontier follows the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 24-hour cancellation rule:
Cancel within 24 hours of purchase
Flight must be at least 7 days from departure
Receive a full refund back to your original payment method
This policy applies to both refundable and non-refundable fares.
If you’re unsure whether your booking qualifies, dial +1-877-658-1183 and an agent can verify instantly.
If you cancel after the risk-free window, Frontier charges a cancellation fee depending on the timing:
60+ days before departure → Free cancellation
59–7 days before departure → $49 fee
6 days or less before departure → $99 fee
Fees are deducted from your refund or travel credit.
Example: If your ticket cost $200 and you cancel 5 days before travel, Frontier deducts $99 and issues a $101 travel credit.
