Frontier Airlines revamps its frequent-flyer program, giving customers a chance to try Elite status on for size. The program changed its name from EarlyReturns to FRONTIER Miles. There are new benefits, including the pooling of miles for families.

“Frontier’s mission is to make it possible for more people to fly and fly more often,” Tyri Squyres, vice president of marketing, said. “The reimagined FRONTIER Miles program makes that even easier. We recognized that earning awards and status with airlines is not easy and we aim to change that with our new program. Specifically designed to offer something for everyone — whether a customer travels a little or a lot — they will find our new program rewarding. We were careful not to eliminate any of our current benefits, our frequent flyers will only find new benefits to enjoy. More importantly, as an airline for families, we built benefits focused not just on the individual but the entire family.”

Travelers can test out Elite 20k status, which includes a free carry-on bag, seat assignment and family pooling, by booking and completing two round-trip flights by Oct. 15. The status benefits will last through the end of the year.
