Upon booking your Frontier flight, get out your measuring tape to ensure your bag is the appropriate size. When you fly with Frontier Airlines, you're allowed to board the plane with one carry-on bag. The bag must weigh no more than 35 pounds and its maximum external size cannot exceed 10 by 16 by 24 inches. If the piece of luggage you wish to use as your carry-on bag does not meet Frontier's guidelines, you must pay to check the bag.

Frontier, which last year joined Spirit and Allegiant in charging for carry-on bags that don't fit underneath the seat, is not raising its carry-on bag fees. They range from $30 to $40, depending on the time of purchase. Southwest Airlines is the only major carrier not charging for the first two checked bags.

Passengers who purchase tickets on Frontier's web site will incur no additional charge for a carry-on bag. The cost of a carry-on for passengers booking on third-party sites is $25 - $100. The fees will go into effect this summer, the carrier said, with the date to be announced soon. All customers are allowed one free personal item, such as a briefcase or purse, for free. The personal item must fit in under the seat.

Commenter 5topAmnesty alerted me awhile ago to the fact that the airlines—in America, this would be Spirit and Frontier—that charge carry-on fees still allow one personal item for free. The only thing is that it’s got to fit under the seat in front.

Spirit clearly states their policy here : One personal item is included with a Bare Fare. This is something like a small backpack or purse that fits entirely in the smaller sizer box (16”x14”x12”). You need to pay for any additional/larger bags. All prices are per bag, each way. Buy bags early and online for the best price. Frontier also goes on to say : All passengers are allowed one free personal item that will fit under the seat in front of you. It can be no larger than 14” tall, 8” wide, and 18” long (including handles, wheels, and straps).

The move to charge passengers for carry-on bags mimics that of Spirit Airlines, previously the only domestic carrier to charge for carry-on bags. The carrier also charges between $25 and $100 for a carry-on; however, the charge extends to all passengers regardless of where the ticket is booked. Frontier's most loyal customers have made it very clear that finding overhead bin space for carry-on bags has become unacceptably difficult.

Travelers who buy their tickets on Frontier's website and pay for their bags at the time of booking or anytime before getting to the airport do not face higher fees. Their first checked bag will remain $20, the second bag $30, each lower than the industry standard of $25 for the first bag and $35 for the second bag.

Commercial airlines typically allow you to travel with one or more personal items beyond the piece of luggage you consider your carry-on bag, and Frontier is no exception. Frontier travelers can carry one personal item, such as a purse, handbag or briefcase, provided it doesn't exceed 18 by 14 by 8 inches. Additional items, such as coats, diaper bags and assistive devices, are also allowed.
