Frontier 24 Hours Cancellation Policy


Frontier Airlines 24-hour cancellation policy permits travelers to cancel any flight ticket within 24 hours of purchasing and receive a full refund, only if the flight departs at least 7 later. This policy is applicable to all ticket types, and also on non-refundable fares.


However, if you cancel within 7 days of travel or after 24 hours of booking your ticket, a cancellation fee will be included depending on the fare conditions of your ticket.


Frontier Cancellation Policy Due to Death or Illness 


Frontier's cancellation policy permits passengers to cancel their flights in case of serious illness before the scheduled departure or due to the death of any close family member. However, passengers must submit documents for proof, such as a medical certificate or death certificate, to support their cancellation request.


Frontier Cancellation Policy Due to Weather


Frontier's cancellation policy due to weather conditions or other factors beyond its control, such as bird strikes or air traffic control issues, provides passengers the option to either rebook on the next alternative flight or ask for a full refund for the unused portion of their ticket. However, this policy does not provide compensation for any delays, cancellations, or rescheduling resulting from such events.


Frontier Airlines Delays and Cancellations Policy


If your Frontier Airlines flight experiences delays, cancellations, or diversions because of  issues within the airline's control, like mechanical problems or baggage delays, you'll be rebooked on the next alternative flight without additional charges. Alternatively, if your flight is canceled, you can request a full refund for the unused part of your ticket.


In the event of disruptions caused by factors beyond Frontier Airlines' control, such as severe weather or bird strikes, you'll also be rebooked on the next suitable flight at no extra cost or a later flight that aligns with your schedule when conditions improve. If your flight is canceled under these circumstances, you have the option to receive a full refund for the unused portion of your ticket. However, compensation is not provided in such cases.


Frontier Cancellation Fee


Frontier Airlines applies the following cancellation fees:


  • Within 24 hours of purchase: USD 0

  • 60-plus days before departure: USD 99

  • 59 – 7 days before departure: USD 99

  • 6 days or less before departure (including same day): USD 99


Note: No cancellation fee is applied for canceling a WORKS bundle ticket.


According to Frontier Airlines' cancellation policy, the following cancellation fees apply:


  • If you cancel a standard ticket 59 to 7 days before departure, a fee of USD 99 per passenger per way will be charged. The remaining value of your ticket will be retained as a travel credit for future use.

  • If you cancel a standard ticket 6 days or less before departure (including the same day), a fee of USD 99 per passenger per way will be charged. The remaining value of your ticket will be retained as a travel credit.

  • If you cancel an award ticket, a non-refundable redeposit fee of USD 75 will be charged for re-depositing your Frontier Miles. However, this fee is waived for Last Seat Award flights. Cancellation must occur before your flight’s departure.


Note:


After canceling your Frontier flight, the remaining value of your fare, minus the Frontier cancellation fee (and less the Flight Flexibility fee if applicable), will be retained as a single-use travel credit for 90 days. Remember that this credit will not have any residual value after use, even if there is remaining credit. While you don't have to travel within the 90-day period, you must make use of the travel credit to book within that window . Additionally, it's important to remember that Frontier's travel credits cannot be exchanged for cash, and the cancellation must be completed before your flight's departure.


Remember that any modifications to your itinerary may include fare differences and additional charges. If you prefer to cancel your flight, the value of your ticket will be converted into a travel credit, deducting the applicable cancellation fee and carrier charges.


Frontier Cancellation Fee for the Works Bundle


Under Frontier Airlines cancellation policy, no fees will be applied for canceling a WORKS ticket. Upon cancellation, the full value of the WORKS ticket will be retained as a single-use travel credit valid for up to one year from the transaction date.


Here are some key points to review:


  • After using the travel credit , no residual value will remain, regardless of any remaining balance.

  • If the travel credit amount is not enough to cover the cost of the new flight ticket, you can pay the remaining balance with your credit card.

  • Travel credits cannot be transferred to another individual. The name on the new booking must match exactly with the name on the original booking.

  • If you seek a refund after canceling your ticket, you must also complete the Frontier Airlines Refund Application Form.
