Traveling with a pet can be a stressful experience, but it doesn't have to be. Frontier Airlines makes it easy to bring your furry friend along on your next trip. Here's everything you need to know about adding a pet to your Frontier flight.

How to Add a Pet to Your Frontier Flight

Pet Policies

Frontier Airlines allows dogs, cats, and household birds to travel in the cabin or as checked baggage. The following restrictions apply:

  • Only one pet is allowed per passenger.
  • Pets must be at least eight weeks old.
  • Pets must be healthy and up-to-date on their vaccinations.
  • Pets must be properly restrained in a kennel or carrier.

Fees

Frontier Airlines charges a $100 fee for each pet that travels in the cabin. The fee for pets that travel as checked baggage is $99.

Booking Your Flight

When you book your flight, you can add your pet to your reservation online or by calling Frontier Airlines.

When you add your pet to your reservation, you will be asked to provide the following information:

  • Your pet's name
  • Your pet's breed
  • Your pet's weight
  • Your pet's age
  • Your pet's vaccination records

Preparing for Your Flight

Before you travel with your pet, you should take the following steps:

  • Get your pet a checkup from your veterinarian.
  • Purchase a kennel or carrier that meets Frontier Airlines' size and weight restrictions.
  • Train your pet to stay in the kennel or carrier.
  • Pack food, water, and treats for your pet.
  • Bring a leash and a poop bag for your pet.

At the Airport

When you arrive at the airport, you should check in your pet at the ticket counter. You will need to present your pet's vaccination records and pay the pet fee.

Once you have checked in your pet, you will need to take him or her to the security checkpoint.

On the Plane

If your pet is traveling in the cabin, you will need to keep him or her in the kennel or carrier under the seat in front of you. You will not be allowed to hold your pet on your lap.

If your pet is traveling as checked baggage, he or she will be transported in a special cargo hold.

Arriving at Your Destination

When you arrive at your destination, you will need to pick up your pet from the baggage claim area.

Once you have picked up your pet, you should take him or her to a quiet area to relax and drink some water.
