Frontier Airlines has introduced a valuable new benefit for its airline credit cardholders, aiming to make travel more convenient for those planning epic ski or golf trips across the country. As part of the new offer, Frontier’s World Mastercard holders will now be able to check two large bags for free on Frontier-operated flights, the airline recently announced. This perk extends to oversized items such as golf clubs or ski equipment, making it easier than ever for adventure seekers to travel with their gear at no additional cost.
Perk Details and Usage
The benefit is exclusively available to primary cardholders who purchase their flights using the card either on Frontier’s website or through the company’s mobile app. Notably, there are no restrictions on the number of times travelers can utilize this new perk, allowing for flexibility on multiple trips.
Statement from Frontier’s CCO
“Our cardmembers spoke, and we listened,” said Bobby Schroeter, Frontier Airlines’ chief commercial officer, in a statement. “This new benefit, combined with existing perks, makes our card a must-have for any traveler looking to maximize value and convenience on every flight.”
Comprehensive Cardholder Benefits
In addition to the free baggage allowance, Frontier Airlines World Mastercard cardholders enjoy a variety of benefits, including miles that never expire, access to award travel without blackout dates, Zone 2 priority boarding, and an annual $100 flight voucher after spending $2,500 or more on purchases. First-time cardholders are also in for a treat: Upon making their first purchase with the card, they will receive Frontier’s Elite Gold Status for 90 days. This status can be extended for an entire year if cardholders spend $3,000 within the first 90 days of signing up, providing access to even more exclusive perks.
Expansion into Premium Offerings
Frontier, known for its ultra-low-cost model, has recently been experimenting with more upscale options for travelers. The airline has eliminated nearly all change and cancellation fees and has introduced a new premium economy class, dubbed BizFare. Additionally, Frontier has rolled out its “UpFront Plus” option, which offers travelers seats in the first two rows of the plane with the added comfort of a blocked middle seat.
Conclusion
Despite these new offerings, Frontier remains committed to its ultra-low-cost business model, continuing to charge passengers for extras like seat assignments and checked baggage on standard fares. However, with the introduction of new credit card perks and fare class options, Frontier is providing more ways for travelers to enhance their experience. For those looking for added value on their flights, Frontier’s credit card is becoming an increasingly attractive option, offering both convenience and savings for frequent flyers.
