Children information

Do I need to reserve a seat for my infant?
An infant is allowed to travel free of charge on the lap of an adult from seven days old until his or her second birthday. Even if your infant is flying for free, there may be taxes due when traveling internationally. International taxes will be collected at check-in. Only one infant per paying adult is allowed to travel as a lap child. Two adults with two lap children can't sit in the same side of a row, because there are only four oxygen masks per every three seats. If one adult is traveling with two infants, the first infant may travel as a lap child but the second infant must be placed in his or her own seat with an approved car seat

Can I take my child's stroller or car seat with me on the plane?
You can bring car seats that are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and show a red label stating: "This restraint device is approved for motor vehicle and aircraft use." The approved seat should be no wider than 16 inches to fit in most coach seats.

If you need them, strollers may be used to transport your child to the gate, but then must be checked at the gate as baggage. The stroller will be returned to the gate at your final destination.

Entertainment for children
Frontier Airlines offer access to DIRECTV® service for a small fee. (Ascent and Summit Level travelers receive free access to DIRECTV® service onboard.) We've found this to be a major advantage when traveling with children. Consider bringing your child's favorite blanket or pillow, books, or favorite toys and snacks

How long are kids considered kids
A passenger is considered an adult if he or she is 15 years of age or older for domestic and international travel.
