U.S. budget carrier Frontier Airlines<\/strong> said on Tuesday it will offer First Class seating to woo passengers willing to spend more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frontier previously added more seats with extra leg room and business fares targeted at small companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other budget carriers have also been targeting higher fares. In August, Spirit Airlines began offering business-class seats, while Southwest Airlines said in July it planned to offer premium seats with extra leg room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frontier CEO Barry Biffle said the airline hopes to begin offering first-class seating on all flights in late 2025, which will require approval from regulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There’s a percentage of our customers willing to pay more for comfort,” Biffle told Reuters<\/a>. “These are affluent leisure customers who want a first class seat.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline is also boosting benefits for frequent flyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biffle said other programs have gotten less generous with fewer seat upgrades, and noted that the largest U.S. airlines had introduced no-frills “basic economy” seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is really our answer,” he said. “We can produce the cheapest coach seat, but we can also produce the cheapest first class seat as well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
