Questions

Frontier Airlines via Priceline: price drop FAQ

Common questions about claiming a price drop on Frontier Airlines when booked through Priceline.

Contact Priceline, not Frontier Airlines. When you book through a travel booking site, that site holds your ticket and owns your reservation. Frontier Airlines cannot process refunds or changes on a ticket issued by Priceline. Doing so can wipe out the value left on your original ticket. We have documented 2 verified methods on this page.

Not as a federal right. The US 24-hour rule applies to tickets bought directly from the airline, not through booking sites like Priceline. What Priceline offers in the first 24 hours is in the first method on this page; on some sites it depends on the airline's fare rules.

Always contact Priceline. Your ticket was issued by Priceline, not the airline. If you contact Frontier Airlines directly to request a change or cancellation, the airline may handle it in a way that wipes out the value left on your original ticket. That is a common and expensive mistake. All changes must go through Priceline's website, app, or support line.

Inside Priceline's cancellation window, you typically receive a full cash refund to your original payment method. Outside that window, any fare difference is usually issued as a travel credit or Priceline rewards (such as OneKeyCash for Expedia), not cash. See the specific methods above for payout details.

Plot watches your Frontier Airlines fare continuously after you forward your confirmation email to plans@plot.travel. When the price drops, we send the exact savings amount and step-by-step instructions specific to Priceline's process, including the reminder to contact Priceline, not Frontier Airlines.
