Frontier Airlines Updates Its Family Seating Policy
Frontier Airlines has revealed new measures over the past several months to enhance its system to ensure children are seated with at least one responsible adult in their party.
Airlines are looking to make make it easier for families with young children to sit together as the White House has pledged to crack down on these fees. Frontier’s new policy comes as United also rolled out its own new rules for children under 12.
Now when flying Frontier, at least one parent will automatically be seated with any children within their family group who are under the age of 14. At no additional charge, the airline automatically assigns seats based on family members’ ages before the check-in window opens.
“We recognize the importance of seating children next to an adult with whom they are traveling,” said Daniel Shurz, senior vice president at Frontier Airlines. “Since last October, we have been doubling down on our efforts and further enhancing our system for ensuring a parent is seated with any children under the age of 14 in their family group. The system is working well and we are receiving positive feedback.”
Frontier customers also have the option to choose their own seats, but that comes with an additional fee. The airline offers several other family friendly features such as family pooling of frequent flyer miles. Members of Frontier’s Discount Den can also take advantage of “kids fly free” promotions on certain flights when they are traveling with someone 14 years old or younger.
