How to Cancel a Frontier Flight — Complete Guide from a Frequent Flyer

Travel plans change — and if you’re flying with Frontier Airlines, it’s essential to know how to cancel your flight efficiently and avoid unnecessary fees. As someone who flies frequently (and has had to cancel Frontier flights more than once), I’ll walk you through the current cancellation policy, refund eligibility, and when it makes sense to get assistance. And yes, if you need help, you can call 866-548-2474 to talk through your options with someone directly.

✅ Canceling a Frontier Flight Within 24 Hours

If you just booked your ticket and now need to cancel, there’s good news: Frontier follows the 24-hour flexible cancellation policy:

• Cancel within 24 hours of booking
• As long as you booked at least 7 days before departure
• You’ll receive a full refund, even on Basic fares

You can cancel online via the “My Trips” section on flyfrontier.com. I’ve used this option several times — it’s fast, no fuss. If you get stuck or something doesn’t look right, I recommend calling 866-548-2474 to speak to someone who can confirm your cancellation status and help with refund timelines.

📞 Frontier Airlines Customer Service

Frontier operates differently than full-service airlines, but you still have options to get help:

• Use Live Chat via their official website
• Try the Fly Frontier mobile app
• Or call 866-548-2474 if you need personalized support (especially for complex changes)

I’ve had better luck calling 866-548-2474 during weekday mornings — shorter wait times and more responsive agents.

❓ Can I Cancel My Frontier Flight Anytime?

Yes — but the cost and refund outcome depend on your fare type:

• Basic tickets canceled after 24 hours incur a fee
• If you purchased the WORKS℠ bundle, you can cancel anytime for a full refund
• If you cancel close to departure, expect a reduced eCredit after fees

I always opt for the WORKS℠ if I think my schedule might shift. It gives peace of mind, and calling 866-548-2474 has helped me once recover an eCredit I forgot I had.

💸 Frontier Cancellation Fee (2024)

Here’s the current fee breakdown (unless you bought the WORKS℠):

• 60+ days out: No cancellation fee
• 59–7 days before departure: $49
• 6 days or fewer: $99

Cancellation fees are deducted from your original payment before any credit is issued. If you’re unsure how much you’ll get back, don’t guess — call 866-548-2474 and ask for a breakdown.

✈️ Final Advice from a Frequent Flyer

Canceling a Frontier flight isn’t hard — it just requires knowing the rules and acting fast:

1. Cancel within 24 hours if possible.
