The exact amount a passenger is charged will be determined by how and when the customer checks in for the flight. As the Denver Post reported, only customers who book Frontier flights through third-party sites such as Expedia and Travelocity are subject to the carry-on baggage fee. More confusingly, very soon, some Frontier passengers will have to pay $25 to $100 for the privilege of bringing a carry-on bag onto the plane. Starting on July 1, passengers traveling on the cheapest tickets will have to pay $1.99 and up for in-flight beverages, while certain customers who are members of the airline’s loyalty program and/or who have booked pricier flights will continue to get non-alcoholic drinks for free. In other airline fee news, Denver-based Frontier Airlines just tweaked its fee structure. To almost no one’s surprise, American, US Airways, and Delta are now also charging a $200 fee to any passenger hoping to change flight plans within the U.S. When United Airlines increased ticket change fees to $200 (up from $150), the assumption was that competitors would follow suit. Southwest Airlines views them quite differently: If it added baggage fees on par with other carriers, Southwest says it would lose roughly $1 billion. Follow airlines view fees for baggage and ticket changes as easy, highly lucrative revenue streams.
