Frontier said they are keeping the health and safety of customers and team members its number one priority. Frontier requires all customers and crew members wear a face covering throughout their travel journey.

Plus, anyone flying with Frontier must complete a health acknowledgement prior to flying confirming that:

According to Frontier, during flight, main cabin air is a mix of fresh air drawn from outside and air that has been passed through an air filtration system that features HEPA filters capable of capturing respiratory virus particles at more than 99.9 percent efficiency – similar to those used in hospital environments. Frontier’s modern all-Airbus fleet is among the youngest in the world - all aircraft currently in operation are less than four years old.
