Frontier flight change charge.

Something surprised me farewise a couple of days ago. My friend changed her reservation to return to JAX from CVG a week later than originally planned. Total cost for the change was 97¢. This was two days before the original departure date. I was stunned.

The price of the flight must have dropped by about $98? Frontier has a $99 change fee.

No idea why but 97¢ was amazing to me.

Fares: A $99 change fee and any difference in air fare will apply to any changes. This includes date changes and city changes. All exchanges have no residual value when exchanged for a purchase of lesser value.

Did you purchase The WORKS℠? Refundability is included with the purchase of the WORKS℠. Visit Flyfrontier.com and apply the value of your booking to your new ticket without any penalty, subject to any difference in fare and/or options prices.

Are you changing to a different flight on the same day?Frontier offers a Same Day confirmed alternative flight option for a flat fee of $99 (complimentary for FRONTIER Miles Elite members and for those who purchased the Works℠). To request this option, see a Frontier airport representative or call Frontier Reservations at 801-401-9000.

Dealing with an emergency event? We know life happens. Visit our Travel Policies page on and review the Emergency Event list for information on your options.

Note: Tickets must be changed prior to the departure of a flight in order to retain their value. Failure to show for any flight or cancel a ticket prior to any ticketed flight departure will forfeit the remaining value of the ticket.

Yep, either they had the Works bundle or the new fare was quite a bit less. No way would Frontier, who charges for absolutely everything, change their flight for 97¢ out of the goodness of their heart. (you can guess how I feel about Frontier...)
