Standby Travel
Frontier Travel Insurance provides two options for same-day flight changes, namely standby travel and same day confirmed alternative flight changes.
Elite level members of FRONTIER Miles have the opportunity to stand by for an earlier or later flight on their day of travel, free of charge. If eligible, passengers can request to fly standby on another flight at the airport ticket counter or gate.
It’s important to note that standby travel must adhere to the original ticketed itinerary. For example, if you were initially booked on a nonstop flight, you cannot add a connection to the itinerary, and vice versa.
While standby travel offers flexibility, it also involves some risk. If you are unable to board the desired flight and end up missing your scheduled flight, no additional transportation will be provided unless you purchase a ticket. The boarding order for standby passengers will be determined by Frontier.
Same Day Confirmed Flight Changes
If you wish to switch to an earlier or later flight on the same day, you can review Frontier’s policy and, if seats are available on the desired flight, confirm a seat change at the airport ticket counter or by calling Frontier Reservations.

Frontier Travel Insurance allows same day confirmed alternative flight changes and standby travel on eligible tickets for flights between specific groups of airports considered within the same city.
