A lot of people choose Frontier Airlines because the fares are cheap. But many get surprised when they see Frontier Airlines baggage fees. If you know how these fees work, you can avoid extra costs. This guide from FlyAirlinesPolicy shows travelers how not to make the same mistakes.

Frontier Airlines has a very low-cost way of doing things. The price you pay for your ticket does not cover bags. You only get one free item that you can bring with you. If you want to take a carry-on or a checked bag, you have to pay more. The fee gets higher if you buy it after you book or when you are at the airport.

You will pay the least for your carry-on bag if you add it when you book your ticket. If you wait until you check-in or get to the airport, the price goes up a lot. If you wait until you are at the gate, the fee is usually the highest. This can add a big cost to your trip.

Checked baggage fees work in much the same way. You pay less for your first checked bag. You will pay more for each extra bag. If your bags are too heavy, you will have to pay more. Frontier is strict about bag weight. Even if your bag is a little over, you may get charged.

FlyAirlinesPolicy says you should check your baggage needs before you book your ticket. People who plan early can dodge high Frontier Airlines baggage fees and have an easy trip.
