Personal item – (instead of carry on)
Me and my little family will be flying from CA to NC for a weekend visit to see my son stationed at Camp Lejeune. Since its only for a weekend I know I can get each of us to fit what we need in a backpack or tote bag. If its within dimension guidelines. Can we get the backpack to pass off as our Personal Item or would we have to pay carry on fees?
Examples of a couple of the bags we are planning on using…

You'll be just fine with using a backpack, especially for a short weekend trip. I did this once for a trip to Florida and fit all my clothes plus full snorkel gear in a backpack!
From Frontier's website: "KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
FREE PERSONAL ITEM
We know how important your headphones, laptops, and crossword puzzles are for your in-flight experience. All passengers are allowed one free personal item that will fit under the seat in front of you. It can be no larger than 14” tall, 8” wide, and 18” long (including handles, wheels, and straps). Think backpacks, purses, briefcases and computer bags."
Good for you for looking into this, it will make your trip much more relaxing and enjoyable. Enjoy your trip!

Whenever I fly Frontier I travel with my backpack, often stuffed to being pretty full, and I've always been able to use it as my personal bag.
