Frontier Airlines
has begun selling an add-on package that includes a carry-on bag, a checked
bag, no change fees, priority boarding, access to the best available seat at
the time of booking and a full refund when a reservation is canceled at least
24 hours prior to scheduled departure.
The airline is
calling the package “The Works,” and the price varies by route: $49 to $69 each
way, based on roundtrip purchase. The price is $57 to $83 each way for
connecting flights, based on roundtrip purchase.
When bought
separately, a carry-on bag ranges from $30 to $60 each way, and the first
checked bag ranges from $20 to $60 each way.
The airline noted
that the savings increase when a passenger makes changes. Frontier’s change fee
is $99.
Last year,
Frontier lowered its fares but began charging extra for carry-on bags and
advance seat assignments.
"Unbundling
has lowered fares for millions of fliers, but some want it all for one low
price, and ‘The Works’ gives them that choice," said Frontier Airlines
President Barry Biffle.
