A crucial aspect often overlooked when considering the Frontier Airlines Baggage Policy involves the specific procedures and potential inconveniences related to handling Carry-On Bags that haven't been properly paid for or included with a fare like Frontier Early™. While the policy allows one free Personal Item for every passenger, the Carry-On Bag typically incurs a fee unless covered by a specific fare or add-on. A common scenario unfolds at the airport: a passenger, perhaps unaware or hoping to avoid the fee, boards the plane with a Carry-On Bag intending to pay onboard or at the gate. Frontier's policy is strict – if you do not have a paid Carry-On allowance or Frontier Early™, you will be asked to remove the bag from the overhead bin (if already stowed) or from your hands at the gate. The airline employee will then check the bag for you, and you will be charged the Carry-On fee at that point, often at the higher, in-airport rate. This means your intended carry-on automatically becomes a checked bag, you still face the fee, and you must wait at the baggage claim like any other checked bag holder, negating the convenience of having it readily accessible during your flight. This enforcement underscores the importance of proactively managing your baggage costs according to the Frontier Airlines Baggage Policy during the booking or pre-flight stages to avoid this potentially frustrating situation and ensure your luggage arrives when and where you expect it.
