Frontier Airlines Implements 60-Minute Check-In Cutoff for All Passengers

Frontier Airlines is implementing a new policy starting August 16, 2023, where airport check-in and bag drop will close 60 minutes before departure, making it the strictest check-in cutoff among US airlines. The motive behind this change is unclear, but possible reasons include reducing staffing costs, encouraging online check-in, or generating additional revenue from passengers who miss their flights and have to purchase new tickets. This policy change is expected to result in an increase in the number of passengers missing their flights.
