Frontier Airlines offers free checked bags promotion

Frontier Airlines has launched a promotion offering free checked bags and extras like seat assignments. This move directly responds to Southwest Airlines, which recently announced it will begin charging for seat assignments and checked luggage. Customers who book a flight on Frontier from March 18 to March 24 can get a package that includes a seat assignment and a carry-on bag at no extra cost. This deal is valid for nonstop flights booked on Frontier's website or app. Additionally, for flights scheduled between May 28 and August 18, Frontier will provide a free checked bag. This change follows Southwest's surprising decision to end its policy that allowed passengers to check two bags for free, a feature they had maintained for years.
