If a winter getaway is on your mind, Frontier just gave you one more thing to add to your Black Friday cart.
The budget carrier just launched a major Black Friday promotion, putting a massive 2 million seats on sale with fares starting at just $24 for a limited time. The deal runs through Nov. 30 and applies to travel on select days of the week through Feb. 28, 2026 (with some holiday blackout dates.)
Members of Frontier’s Discount Den program get an even bigger price drop—with fares starting at $19 for themselves and up to eight people traveling on the same reservation. And for anyone who has been on the fence about joining, Frontier is offering 50% off a new Discount Den membership through Nov. 30—Standard memberships normally cost $99.99 for the first year.
“With 2 million seats on sale for travel through the end of February, and with fifty percent off new memberships to Discount Den, now is the perfect time to plan your winter getaway,” said Bobby Schroeter, Frontier’s chief commercial officer. He added that the airline is offering trips across the U.S., the Caribbean and Latin America.

What’s New With Frontier This Year
The promotion arrives as Frontier continues rolling out what it calls “The New Frontier,” a wave of updates designed to make the low-cost flying experience feel a bit more flexible.
Recent additions include UpFront Plus, which offers extra legroom and a guaranteed empty middle seat in the first two rows, and unlimited companion travel for the airline’s most loyal flyers. Frontier also plans to introduce First Class seating in early 2026—something you don’t usually see from an ultra-low-cost airline.
Its loyalty program, FRONTIER Miles, has gotten a refresh, too. Members now earn based on how much they spend, with elite status starting at 10,000 points.
Frontier isn’t the only airline rethinking how they package seats and perks. Carriers all over the map are experimenting right now.
Ryanair recently wound down its short-lived Prime subscription, saying it wasn’t as profitable as they’d hoped after a trial run. Delta just introduced a new “Comfort Basic” category, which bundles in extra legroom and priority treatment but keeps a more simplified seat-selection process. And even Southwest—famous for its open seating—has announced a shift toward a more traditional boarding style.
Basically, the whole industry is trying to strike a balance between offering travelers more ways to customize their trip and keeping fares competitive. Depending on your point of view, it’s either more “choice” or simply more options–and fees—to sort through when booking.
