Premium economy.
Depending on the airline, premium economy passengers get extra legroom, extra recline, extra seat width, priority boarding, priority luggage allowances, extra earned miles, amenity kits, larger in-flight entertainment screens, upgraded headphones, and premium meals.
When you purchase an economy class ticket on A320-200 V.1, it means you are sitting in the main cabin, and not located in first or business class. Seats are smaller and packed more closely together, and in-flight services are limited. Economy class seats on domestic routes usually have a seat pitch ranging from a very tight 27 to a generous 32 inches (68.5 - 81 cm).

A seat in premium economy on A320-200 V.2 — directly between the main and business class cabins is measurably more expensive than an economy class ticket and often sells at double the price.

Seat map Airbus A320-200 Frontier Airlines. Best seats in the plane
Frontier Airlines operates 2 versions of Airbus A320-200.
First cabin version of the Airbus A320 (320) V1

Airbus A320 operated by Frontier Airlines offers 180 seats.
There are 30 rows of seats here. All these seats have 3-3 configuration and belong to economy class. However, there are two types of seats: stretch seats and common economy class seats.
All the seats on this airplane are not reclining.
Stretch seats are considered more comfortable that common economy class seats due to 5-7 extra inches of legroom. These seats may be purchased during check-in process or directly at the airport.
The seats of the rows 1-3 are the seats of stretch type. Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the galley and lavatory in front are the main disadvantages of the seats of the 1st row .
Behind stretch type seats 8 rows of common economy class seats are located. All these seats are standard only the seats of the 11th row have such disadvantages as: limited space for passengers legs and cold from the exit rows.
The next two rows of seats are also the seats of stretch type.
Location of the seats of the 12th row between two exit rows on the one hand provide these seats with extra legroom but on the other hand it can get cold during the flight by the exits. Also these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing.
The seats of the 13th row are considered the best seats thanks to extra space for passengers legs.
The noise from the lavatories located behind will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 29C and 29D and for passengers of the last 30th row .
Second cabin version of the Airbus A320 (320) V2

This version offers 168 seats of two types: stretch and economy.
All the seats in this airplane have 3-3 configuration and are not reclining.
First 4 rows of seats are designated as stretch type seats. The seats of stretch type offer up to 8 additional inches of extra legroom. These seats may be purchased directly at the airport or during check-in.
The main disadvantages of the seats of the 1st row are: reduced width and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.
Next 6 rows are standard seats of the economy class. These seats offer up to 2 inches of extra legroom.
Due to the exit row located behind the seats of the 10th row have a little less space for passengers’ legs and passengers can get cold by the exit doors during the flight.
The seats of the rows 11-12 are the seats of stretch type. For choosing these seats an additional fee must be paid.
Passengers of the seats of the 11th row will take advantage of extra legroom thanks to exit row located in front. However, these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing and passengers may get cold during the flight by the exits.
The seats of the 12th row are considered the best seats as they have no disadvantages.
The last 16 rows are standard economy class seats.
Lavatories located behind the seats 27C, 27D and the seats of the last 28th row will cause discomfort to passengers of these seats.

Frontier will usually charge you to select a seat.
You can always skip selection for free and get one assigned at the gate.
“Stretch seating” offers more legroom, but costs more.
Frontier Airlines offers ultra-low-cost fares with only the flight included. If you want to choose your own seat, check a bag or bring a carry-on, you'll pay fees. If you'd like the option to select your own seat — even a middle seat in the back of the aircraft — you’ll need to pay extra. Also, the complimentary snacks and soft drinks that other airlines hand out come with a charge on Frontier Airlines.
This pricing model is great if you’re a budget traveler who wants to pay only for the things important to you — things like legroom.
If you like the idea of a la carte savings, but consider legroom a priority when you fly, you should know about how Frontier Airlines’ seating system works.

How do Frontier’s seat assignment fees work?
When you go to book a Frontier flight, you’ll have the option of picking a seat. The seat selection screen looks like this — the first few rows are sold at a premium price relative to the rows in the back.
You can choose one of these seats for the price listed. But you don’t have to. Just scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the “Continue” button.

On the next page, you’ll get another prompt from Frontier asking you to confirm that you don’t want to select a seat. At that point you’ll choose the “No, thanks, I’ll take whatever” option.
» Learn more: Are airline fees fair?
What if I don’t pay for seat selection?
Not selecting a seat doesn't mean you won’t get one, it just means that Frontier will assign one to you at check-in or at the gate. This means you’re much more likely to get put in a middle seat, near the back.
So when deciding whether to pay for seat selection, ask yourself: Is the cost of selecting a seat worth it to avoid sitting in the middle? If not, you can skip it and save some cash.
Families who want to sit together might consider paying for seat selection to avoid getting split up, though gate agents will often work to keep families together.

What is Frontier stretch seating?
Most seats on Frontier Airlines flights have between 28 and 31 inches of pitch, which is the distance from the back of your seat to the back of the seat in front of you. That’s slightly below the average pitch of 30 to 31 inches found on other airlines.

Frontier Airlines stretch seating comes with an extra five to seven inches of pitch. These seats also recline, unlike the other seats, and they offer bigger tray tables. Frontier typically offers five or six rows of stretch seating on its aircraft, including the exit rows.
How much does Frontier Airlines stretch seating cost?
The cost of Frontier Airlines stretch seating depends on a couple of different factors, most notably how long the flight is and when you book. On some flights, stretch seating starts at $16 for each leg. On longer flights that you book later, this perk can cost well over $56. You'll have to check your individual flights for specific pricing as it varies by route and length.

If you have a connecting flight, you’ll need to pay for stretch seating for each leg of your flight.
If you want to pick any seat while flying on Frontier, you’re going to pay something, so take that into account when deciding if the stretch seating option is worth it for you.
If you’re planning on checking bags or bringing a carry-on, consider instead booking either the Works or the Perks bundles. These bundles include seat selection, bags, priority boarding and, in the case of the Works bundle, flight flexibility and refundability.
» Learn more: Is Frontier Airlines’ The Works bundle worth it?
What about Frontier Airlines first class?
Since Frontier is a low-cost carrier, it doesn’t offer a first class option. If you’re looking for something better than a regular seat, you’ll want to purchase stretch seating when booking your flight.
You’ll get perks like more legroom, extra recline and early boarding.
How to get Frontier seat assignments for free
There are a couple of ways that you can get Frontier Airlines stretch seating for free.
1. Earn elite status
Frontier Elite 20K status lets you pick a seat for free and you can pick stretch seating for free when you check in. If you have Elite 50K or Elite 100K status, you can pick stretch seating for free when you buy the tickets and you get family seating, which allows up to eight passengers on the same reservation to pick any seat, including stretch seating, at the time of purchase.

2. Use credit card statement credits to offset Frontier seat fees
Another way you can get Frontier Airlines stretch seating for (sort of) free is to use airline incidental credits from an American Express card. These cards pay you back (in the form of a statement credit) when you purchase certain airline incidentals, including seat selection, up to a certain limit every year. It is important to note that the charge must be classified as seat selection and not an upgrade to get the credit. Terms apply.
You have to select your preferred airline at the beginning of the year, or when you sign up, so if you have one of these cards and want to use the credit for Frontier Airlines perks, be sure to select it as your preferred airline.
Cards that offer these credits for airline fees include:
The Platinum Card® from American Express – $200 annual credit.
The Business Platinum Card® from American Express – $200 annual credit.
Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card – $250 annual credit.
Terms apply. Enrollment required.
Most Frontier Airlines tickets do not include complimentary seat assignments. This means you have two options: Pay for a seat or skip seat selection. By skipping seat selection, you might get stuck in a middle seat or separated from your party — but it’s free. Frontier also offers “stretch seating” with extra legroom for an extra charge.
You can select your seat on Frontier, but it will cost you. You always have the option to skip Frontier Airlines seat selection for free.
Generally, you should only pay for a seat on Frontier if you want to avoid the middle seat, or if you’re traveling with family and don’t want to get separated. Frontier will make selecting (and paying for) a seat appear like the default option, but remember: You can always opt out.
The cost of selecting a seat varies by route and seat type, from $17 to $55 each way for standard economy seats. In our analysis , we found that Frontier charges an average of $36 for seat selection on a roundtrip fare.
Small bags and personal belongings that can sit under the seat in front of you are allowed for free on Frontier, but you will get charged a fee for overhead carry-ons, such as roller bags and larger backpacks.
No, Frontier does not offer a first class option. However, if you purchase stretch seating on Frontier, you’ll receive some perks like more legroom, extra recline, early boarding, and more.
The cost of selecting a seat varies by route and seat type, from $17 to $55 each way for standard economy seats. In
our analysis
, we found that Frontier charges an average of $36 for seat selection on a roundtrip fare.
Is paying for seats worth it on Frontier Airlines?
Whether paying for seats on Frontier is worth it depends on your situation. If you despise the middle seat or are traveling with a family, it might be worth shelling out the seat assignment fee for some peace of mind. And if you need extra legroom, Frontier’s stretch seating might be worth it.
That said, when in doubt, you can probably skip the seat assignment fee altogether. The whole point of flying Frontier is that it’s cheap, and if you pay for seats both ways, you’re eroding the potential savings compared with flying on another airline.

What are the differences between airline classes?

How to understand and use different airline classes
Since the first commercial flight in 1914, the airline industry has achieved many milestones , including introducing innovative amenities to entice travelers to fly the friendly skies. Today’s flight experience is, of course, vastly different from the inaugural commercial flight in 1914. One of the most notable differences is how much we pay for our journey and what’s included in the price. Flight prices today are really about getting from point A to point B. Another development has been the introduction of multiple classes of service and the variety of pricing schemes within each fare class, allowing you to only pay for the extras if you choose.
We’ve purchased our fair share of seats across all air carriers, and it’s clear not all seats and classes are equal. Here are answers to frequently asked questions about North American airline classes and what you can expect from each class. Read on for help choosing a seat, and then find that perfect flight on Cheapflights.com .

1. What are airline cabin classes?
There are 4 cabin classes offered on most airlines: economy, premium economy, business, and first class.
“In the early days, all seats were first class,” said Seth Kaplan, managing partner of “ Airline Weekly ,” a subscriber-supported publication about the airline business.
“In the 1950s, airlines including Delta Air Lines , began experimenting with coach flights at off-peak hours – in other words, not first class and coach cabins separated by a curtain, but entirely separate flights. Later they begin offering 2 cabins on the same flight, as we see today,” said Kaplan.
The number of seats increased after deregulation kicked in, calling for more seats to make more profits per flying mile, said Stephen Carbone, who has worked for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) as well as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“Seats were wider because the airlines were subsidized, so they could afford flying fewer people to more obscure locations. This was changed with the introduction of the hub-and-spoke routing system,” said Carbone. “Destinations were now decided by passenger numbers, which brought about the concept of how many seats can we legally and safely fit.”
Depending on the airline, some seats have shrunk over time while others have remained the same across all classes of service. See our guide to how to pick the best airline seat and which airline has the best legroom for secure the best seat.

While there are 4 airline cabin classes, some airlines only often one — coach. But a seat in coach class on 1 carrier can be vastly different from an economy seat on another airline. Many airlines have the same airplane models in their fleets, but they configure the interiors differently, so it’s important to look at the seating map not only for the airplane type but also the airline you are flying. Using another airline’s map may not be accurate. If your airline doesn’t provide airplane seating charts, call and speak with an agent, who should be able to provide guidance.
Here is what you can expect in each class:
Economy: Whether you call it coach, standard, main cabin, or “cattle class,” economy is the most basic class. The seats here are the narrowest, ranging from 16 inches to just over 19 inches wide and the seat pitch, the distance from one seat to the seat in front or behind it – what travelers often refer to as “legroom” – ranges from 30 inches to 34 inches. These days, economy offers little more than a seat that will get you from point A to point B. Some airlines like jetBlue and Hawaiian Airlines offer free snacks and beverages and in-flight entertainment systems. Delta Air Lines offers 3 classes of service: Delta One (180-degree flat-bed seat featuring Westin Heavenly bedding and a dedicated flight attendant on cross-country U.S. flights and long-haul international flights), first class (up to 8 inches of additional legroom, up to 5.4 inch seat recline, and a wider seat-back screen), and main cabin. Main cabin is further divided into 3 “experiences” based on seat size and location: Delta Comfort+, Main Cabin, and Basic Economy. Some low-cost carriers like Allegiant Air , Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines only offer coach class.
Premium economy: Virgin Atlantic was actually the first airline to incorporate the concept of premium economy back in 1992. Since then, dozens of airlines have picked up the concept. Once only found on international flights, premium economy is widely available on flights within North America. The slightly comfier premium economy offers wider seats and more legroom at a comfier price than business or first class on most airlines. Some airlines categorize economy and premium economy under main cabin. Typically physically partitioned on international and some long-haul flights, the “premium” in premium economy is the added space and sometimes location of seats in more desirable locations, like the front of the aircraft. On international flights, premium economy may not only be physically separate from economy class, but it may also offer additional perks like complimentary or better food, a greater baggage allowance and amenity kits. Premium economy often refers to the “better” seats on an aircraft on domestic flights.
3. What can you expect in premium economy on North American flights?
- Alaskan Airlines: Alaskan Airlines’ passengers can book Preferred Plus Seats , which are located in row 6 and in the exit rows on select flights. The seats offer the same 3 inches of recline as the standard seats do (except in row 16, which doesn’t recline) but more legroom: a 36- to 40-inch seat pitch.
- Allegiant Air: Allegiant Air has all-coach configurations on its planes, but select flights offer Legroom+ seating, which offers a larger seat pitch of up to 34 inches, and Giant Seats , which have wider seats, comfy headrests and more legroom. There are 6 Giant Seats per plane, in the front row and mid-cabin emergency exit row, on planes that fly to and from Hawaii and several Western U.S. cities.
- American Airlines: American Airlines’ Main Cabin Extra offers seats with more legroom at the front of the plane starting at $20.
- Delta Air Lines: Delta Airlines’ Delta Comfort+ seat offers up to 4 extra inches of legroom, dedicated overhead bin space, and priority boarding.
- Frontier Airlines: Travelers who opt to upgrade to Frontier Airlines’ Stretch seating get to enjoy in-flight service first, get off the plane first, and sit in seats that are laptop friendly and offer more legroom: 33 inches to be exact on all aircraft types.
- Hawaiian Airlines: Hawaiian Airlines’ Extra Comfort seating, available only on the Airbus A330, features a 36-inch seat pitch; priority boarding at the gate, complimentary on-demand in-seat entertainment and a personal power outlet.
- jetBlue: Options for more legroom on jetBlue include Even More Space seats, which offer up to 38 inches of legroom. There are 7 rows of Even More Space seats on the Airbus A320 and both Airbus A321 configurations and 4 rows on the Embraer 190 (rows 1, 12, 13 and 14), offering passengers more legroom, early boarding and more.
- Porter Airlines: On Porter Airlines , travelers can upgrade to a premium seat , which offers more legroom, at the time of booking for $20 (Flexible and Freedom fares) and $40 (Firm fares). Premium seats are located at the front of the plane (Row 1, Seats A and B; and Row 2, Seats A, B, C and D).
- Southwest Airlines: There is no assigned seating on Southwest Airlines and all seats are coach class. Southwest’s sole upgrade option is Business Select , which guarantees, among a variety of perks, priority A1-15 boarding, allowing passengers who upgrade to pick the seats they want and have a place to stash their carry-on luggage.
- Spirit Airlines: Spirit Airlines offers their BIG FRONT SEAT for those who prefer more space. BIG FRONT SEAT options are located in the front of the plane, have a 36 inch pitch and are 25 inches width, with a full 6 inches of additional legroom compared to the airline’s standard Deluxe Leather seats. The BIG FRONT SEAT option can be purchased for a fee during or after booking, based on availability.
- United Airlines: United Airlines ’ Economy Plus seating offer more legroom and wider seats and is available as a one-time purchase or as an annual subscription.
- Virgin America: Virgin America ’s Main Cabin Select offers roomier seats with a 38-inch pitch (6 extra inches of legroom).
- WestJet: WestJet ’s premium economy fare a Plus seat that affords travelers a variety of amenities, including more legroom. Located in the first 3 rows of the Boeing 737 aircraft, Plus seats have a 36 inch seat pitch. Plus seats are also located in the first four rows of the Boeing 767 aircraft and have a 38 inch seat pitch.
Business: The happy medium between coach class and first class is business class. Pioneered by airlines like Pan Am and Qantas , Business class was born after deregulation of airlines when international first-class fares skyrocketed, discounts in economy were common, and full-fare coach travelers were not happy. Business class is a completely different class from economy, and airlines have increased the quality in this category so much that some have replaced first class with business class or, as was the case with now-defunct Continental Airlines, combined the privileges of business class with the luxuries of first class into what the airline called BusinessFirst when it launched in the early 90s. On some airlines like Delta Air Lines, international flights may offer business class service in lieu of first class. The experience ranges from a wider seat that reclines back but doesn’t lie flat, full meal service, in-flight entertainment and an amenity kit on American Airlines, to a seat that converts to a full lie-flat seat, personal minibar, multi-course meals served on fine china and a full bar area complete with bartender and canapés on Emirates .
First Class: Passengers can’t get upgraded any further than first class, which is a luxurious experience that varies depending on the airline. The experience of first class can range from jetBlue’s Mint , which features a 6-foot, 8-inch lie-flat seat with adjustable firmness and a massage feature, a door for privacy, in-flight entertainment and full meal service to Etihad’s The Residence , a 3-room suite with living room, bedroom with a double bed and private bathroom with shower.
4. What are fare classes?

The service classes of economy, premium economy, business, and first class are further divided into fare classes, which appear as a letter on your ticket. Each seat on an airplane is put in a fare class, which each come with their own set of rules and price. What might look like a random letter on your ticket is actually a valuable piece of information that shouldn’t be overlooked.
A ticket’s fare class (also called a booking class or fare bucket) is represented with one of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Originally, booking codes were standardized by the International Air Transport Association , a trade association for airlines, but booking codes are now determined by each airline. Most airlines have a different fare class for each letter of the alphabet, and this varies by airline: F is first class, C and J are typically business class, and Y is usually economy, regardless of the airline. The assignment of letters to each fare class isn’t arbitrary. Take C for business class, which derives from Pan Am , which was one of the first airlines to introduce a new class of service for business and full-fare economy passengers called “Clipper Class.”
The fare class letter denotes information like how much your ticket costs, how many airline miles you’ll accrue for the flight, and the amount of flexibility you have to change your reservation. Airlines, reservation systems and travel agents use fare classes to keep track of tickets sold and fare class availability. This one letter is often the difference between you paying hundreds of dollars more or less for your ticket than the person next to you.
Airlines want to get the most they can for each seat while also aiming for a full flight, so ticket prices fall within particular fare classes or buckets to help control inventory and how many tickets can be sold at a particular price. Each fare class has its own price, fare rules, including how much mileage is earned for the airline’s loyalty program and if the ticket can be changed or not. There are also “hidden” fare classes for frequent flyer awards and elite upgrades that are not normally shown in travel searches.
To control inventory while aiming to get as many passengers to pay as much as possible, airlines divide the seats into buckets. Airlines use an algorithm that takes into account factors like the number of seats on a flight, departure and destination airports, the time of day, the time of year, and the expected breakdown of leisure and business passengers to determine how many seats get assigned to each bucket for a particular flight. It’s hard to gauge how many seats are allotted to each bucket, but once the seats within a bucket are sold for a flight, the bucket isn’t replenished. To control inventory and maximize profit, airlines don’t release these numbers. Only travel agents and airline staff or travelers who subscribe to services like Expert Flyer can see how many seats remain in each class.
Fare classes vary by airline, so it’s important to consult the airline directly for confirmation about what each letter means. The letters within each fare class have a hierarchy. When reading an airline’s fare class chart, read from top to bottom and left to right. For example, on American Airlines, F and J are both full-fare first class/business class, but F is higher than J. Hierarchy becomes meaningful when you’re looking to upgrade or standby for a flight.
The fare class code is just the beginning. Each ticket also has a fare basis code, an alpha or alphanumeric code that describes the fare you bought, making it easy for airline staff and travel agents to quickly access the fare rules for a ticket. Each airline sets their own fare class codes that range from 3-8 characters. Almost always, the fare basis code begins with a letter that denotes the class of service. What follows after may refer to the season, how many days in advance the ticket needed to be purchased, minimum and maximum stay requirements, whether a fare is valid on a weekday or restricted to weekends only, or whether the fare is one-way or round-trip. additional fare rules like non-refundable or to signify the fare is a child fare or infant fare. If you have an itinerary made up of multiple fare codes, you may be restricted by the limitations of the most restrictive portion, so check with the airline to ensure you understand the fare rules and restrictions.
When searching for airline tickets by classes, you only need to concentrate on the first letter.

6. How do fare class letters and miles work?

Check out the mood lighting. (Image: Virgin America )
Frequent-flyer miles aren’t based on the number of miles flown. The fare class determines how many airline miles you will accrue for the flight. Some fare classes offer double or triple miles while other classes offer no miles. Depending on your objective, achieving status on an airline or booking the cheapest ticket possible, reviewing the mileage accrual chart for your chosen airline may be an important factor in choosing which flight to book.
The following are links to each North American airline’s mileage accrual charts for eligible published fares. These charts denote the relationship between the fare class letters and miles passengers receive who fly in these classes.

7. How can you use fare classes when finding flights?

If your knees can stand it. (Image: American Airlines )
Most airline websites allow for searching for flights by fare class by selecting the advanced booking options. Expert Flyer allows users to search for flights by fare code. When shopping for tickets on airline websites, the fare code is displayed toward the end of the booking process, either when selecting flight options or just before submitting payment. Typically, there is a correlation between the fare class and the price of the ticket; the cheapest fares are the lowest fare classes. Tickets that have more perks and fewer restrictions have higher fare classes (and, most often, higher prices).

Frontier Airlines Becomes Latest Airline to Ensure Families Fly Together — What to Know
The airline's booking system will automatically seat children under 14 years old with at least one parent or guardian.

Frontier Airlines will automatically seat children next to a parent, becoming the latest airline to ensure families fly together.
The carrier announced Tuesday that its system will seat children under 14 years old with at least one parent or guardian. The seats will be automatically issued based on the family members’ age before check-in opens.
“We recognize the importance of seating children next to an adult with whom they are traveling,” Daniel Shurz, the senior vice president, commercial at Frontier Airlines, said in a statement . “Since last October, we have been doubling down on our efforts and further enhancing our system for ensuring a parent is seated with any children under the age of 14 in their family group. The system is working well and we are receiving positive feedback.”
Frontier is a low-cost airline and typically charges for extras like baggage and seat selection. The airline said customers will still have the option to choose their own seats for a fee.
The new family seating policy comes a day after United Airlines updated its own family seating approach , introducing a dynamic seat map that finds available adjacent seats at the time of booking to ensure children under 12 can sit next to an adult in their party for free.
Over the summer, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) called on U.S. airlines to stop charging families to sit together on flights.
Each airline has its own family seating policy. Delta Air Lines, for example, offers its own version of a dynamic seat map that blocks off certain rows in the main cabin so only groups of three or more people traveling together can book them. And in December, Southwest said it will start testing a new pilot program that will allow families with children to pre-board the plane first.
For its part, Breeze Airways touted its policy of always allowing adults traveling with children up to 12 years old to select seats for free in the airline’s designated “family section.”
