New Frontier Airlines policy requires flyers to drop-off checked bag 60 minutes before flight

foxbusiness.com:

Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle joins 'Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street' to discuss a new report by the Government Accountability Office claiming airlines were to blame for 60% of cancellations from October through December 2021.

Frontier Airlines has rolled out a new stricter bag policy that will require passengers who wish to check a bag to roll up at the airport at least one hour before their flight departs.

Beginning August 16, the airline’s ticket counters will close to passengers for check-in and bag drop 60 minutes before flight departures. Previously, passengers could drop off their bag just 45 minutes before their flight left.

«We continue to be committed to getting you and your bags to your destination without interruption,» the budget-airline wrote alongside it's Twitter post about the new policy.

The change will force passengers on Frontier Airlines to show up earlier than most U.S major airlines.
