When a FRONTIER Miles account holder dies, Frontier Airlines provides a process for transferring miles to the estate or designated heirs.

How to request a transfer

Here is the process for transferring FRONTIER Miles after the account holder dies:

1
Contact Frontier Airlines customer service at 602-333-5925 (available 24/7) to report the death of a member and request a miles transfer.
2
Submit required documentation:
  • Certified copy of the death certificate of the member or a letter from the executor of the estate
  • Court documents specifying how miles should be divided (required when there are multiple heirs or executors)
  • FRONTIER Miles account numbers for all heir(s) who will receive miles
3
Heirs without a FRONTIER Miles account may enroll at https://www.flyfrontier.com/frontiermiles/ to receive their share of miles.
4
Any heir may submit written permission to waive their rights to their miles; those miles are then divided among the remaining heirs.
5
Confirm with customer service that the transfer has been processed and the deceased member's account has been closed.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Frontier Airlines allows miles to be transferred to heirs upon the death of a member. The executor or heir must provide a certified copy of the death certificate of the member or a letter from the executor. If there are multiple heirs or executors, miles are divided as directed by court documents.

Heirs without an existing FRONTIER Miles account can enroll in the program to receive their share of miles. Alternatively, they can submit written permission to waive their rights, and those miles are divided among the remaining heirs.

The published FRONTIER Miles Terms and Conditions do not specify a fee for post-death transfers. Contact customer service at 602-333-5925 to confirm current fee policies.

After the transfer is complete, the recipient can use the miles according to the program's standard terms. Document the deceased account holder's details to make this process easier for your executor or family.
