When flying with Frontier, it is recommended to book and pay for your checked baggage while making your reservation, as it is the cheapest option. Alternatively, add it to your reservation up to 24 hours before your flight. This option is more expensive than at the time of booking, but it will still be less expensive than paying at the airport.
The below numbers are a guide to baggage prices on Frontier - the exact amount may vary slightly for your specific flight route/date/time of travel. Be sure to check the Frontier Airlines website for exact fees for your specific flight, using your flight confirmation number. Expect to pay quite a bit more for your bags now than last time you have flown with Frontier Airlines, as their baggage fees have increased quite significantly in 2023, with further fee increases on flights purchased after May 11 2023.

The exact price of bringing checked luggage varies slightly depending on your specific flight, but the approximate fees that you can expect are presented below. In all cases, the cheapest option is to pre-purchase your luggage allowance at the moment of booking your flight, as it gets more expensive when adding bags to your reservation later on.
If you know that you will be traveling with a lot of checked luggage, consider purchasing one of Frontier's Bundles, either "The Works" or "The Perks", both of which include both a carry-on item and a checked bag.
