Free Carry-On on regular ticket?
 
Hello,

Under what circumstances would Frontier allow a free carry-on for a regular, Discount Den ticket? Is there ever a scenario where Frontier allows a free carry-on at checkin, without having purchased the Works package?

F9 doesn't show other ticket options now - just regular and Discount Den, so it's not a case of Classic Plus.

Do Discount Dens get a free carry-on?

If you have Elite Status you get a free carry-on.

If you don't want to go with the Works you can simply purchase a Carry-On or a Checked Bag (it's cheaper), although the WORKS bundle may make more sense. A carry on is $35 at the time of purchase.

NO

Are you sure you are talking about a Carry-On not a Personal Item? All fares include a free personal Item.

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.

I don't want to mess up a good thing, but for some reason I'm getting free carry-ons, and I did not buy Works, and I am not Elite. It's happened twice now. If there's no other reason I should be getting it, then it must be a glitch. Someone posted the same thing happening to them about 6 months ago.

Are they just letting you board with a carry-on or do you add a carry-on to your ticket and not get charged? Does ticket show you have a carry-on?

Add-on for free. Ticket shows carry on. Happened twice now, and someone posted the same scenario last year. Must be a glitch then.

Thanks/ My wife is Elite ( I will be soon) but I never carry more than a small bag for my tablet and a few other thing.
