Planning a last-minute weekend escape to Miami, a family reunion in Chicago, a bachelor party in Las Vegas, a ski trip to Denver, or a sunny beach vacation in Cancún, Punta Cana, or San Juan? Frontier Airlines, the nation’s fastest-growing ultra-low-cost carrier with the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleet in the U.S., makes budget travel smarter and less stressful than ever in 2026. With nonstop flights to over 120 destinations across the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and even new seasonal routes to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, Frontier gives you rock-bottom fares, but never at the expense of flexibility.
Life happens: meetings get moved, kids get sick, the weather disrupts plans, or you spot an even cheaper fare somewhere else. That’s why Frontier’s 2026 cancellation and change policy is designed to be crystal-clear, completely transparent, and as passenger-friendly as an ultra-low-cost airline can be. Whether you need to cancel months in advance or just hours before takeoff, you’ll always know exactly what you’ll get back and how to use it. Need step-by-step guidance, help combining credits, or someone to walk you through the process right now? Our expert support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
