Frontier Airlines uses Zone Boarding to simplify announcements and speed up boarding:

- A courtesy boarding service is available for families traveling with small children (under 3 years of age) and other passengers who need additional assistance boarding.

In select stations where both the front and rear aircraft doors are used for boarding from the ramp, Frontier Airlines may change the boarding order.
