The honest answer about buying Frontier Miles: the supply is thin and the miles are worth little more than the cash fare, so buying them rarely pays. We don't sell them. Tell us the flight you want and we'll book it in your own name at a firm price.

The straight answer
Why we don't sell Frontier Miles miles
Frontier Miles miles are hard to source safely right now: the supply is thin, and a cheap balance that gets a Frontier Miles account frozen or emptied is no bargain. So instead of selling you the risk, we book the seat — the Frontier Airlines flight in your own name, at one firm price, with your loyalty account never involved. Need the miles themselves? Tell us anyway and we'll say honestly whether we can help.

Buying Frontier Airlines miles — your questions
How much does it cost to buy Frontier Airlines miles?
We don't sell Frontier Airlines miles right now: Frontier Miles is one of the few we can't source at a standard worth standing behind. What we price instead is the finished seat. Tell us the route and dates, and your quote is one firm all-in dollar figure for the ticket, confirmed before any payment is made.
Can you buy Frontier Airlines miles?
Plenty of sites will say yes. In practice Frontier Miles miles are difficult to source at trustworthy scale, which is why we don't offer them: a cheap balance that gets a Frontier Miles account flagged is no bargain. What we offer is the same outcome with less risk: the seat itself, booked with Frontier Airlines and ticketed in your own name. We are not affiliated with any airline or loyalty program.
How fast are Frontier Miles miles delivered?
There's no miles transfer on Frontier Miles orders. Once you approve the quote we book the award, and Frontier Airlines issues the ticket in your name. Your confirmation carries a booking reference you can verify with the airline directly.
Does Frontier have an award chart?
Yes, tiered by availability: Value awards from 5,000 miles for a domestic one-way on off-peak flights, Standard from around 20,000 when Value space is gone, and a Last Seat tier reserved for elite members. Off-peak flexibility is where miles stretch furthest. Send us your dates and we'll price the award.
Do Frontier miles expire?
After 12 months without earning, the shortest window of any major US program, and redemptions don't reset it. Any earning activity restarts the clock, and Frontier World Mastercard holders' miles don't expire while the card is open. Plan to book soon after topping up.
Are there fees on Frontier award bookings?
Yes, unless you book early: the redemption fee is waived 180 or more days out, and otherwise runs about $15 to $75 depending on how close to departure you book. Taxes apply on top, as on any award.
Can I use Frontier miles for seats and bags?
Yes. Since 2025, miles also buy seat upgrades, bags and priority boarding on paid tickets, starting around 2,000 miles. Frontier's First Class cabin is rolling out through 2026; a published miles price for those seats hasn't landed yet.
What payment methods do you accept?
We'll confirm the accepted payment methods when we send your quote. Payment is always handled off this site.
Is this legitimate?
Yes. We've completed 5,000+ transfers. You get a firm quote confirming your exact rate and delivery window before any payment is made, and the miles go into an account you already control.
Will this affect my Frontier Miles account?
Your account isn't involved at all, and that's the point. The ticket is booked and issued in your own name, so there is no transfer into your account and nothing for the program to question.
