To purchase an award ticket, you must be a member of the Frontier Airlines program and have sufficient miles in your account. You can earn miles by traveling regularly on US airline flights or partner routes, or by purchasing other services such as excess baggage.

Exchanging miles for award tickets: Fees and taxes to be paid
Purchasing mile award tickets incurs certain fees, namely:
– $15 if the reservation is made between 179 and 21 days before departure;
– $50 for all flight ticket reservations made between 20 and one week before departure;
– $75 for award ticket reservations validated less than six days before the flight date.
However, some passengers are exempt from paying the fees mentioned above, such as passengers with Elite Status or travelers who book their flight tickets too early (more than 180 days before departure), or passengers traveling with a passenger with Elite status in the MyFrontier loyalty program.
