Frontier Airlines Scam Emails With Your Real Booking: What They Want and What to Do

Last checked: Nov 2, 2026. Based on reporting from Frontier Airlines, View from the Wing, Privacy Affairs, and NBC10 Philadelphia.

Frontier Airlines passengers are reporting phishing emails that include their real booking details, confirmation numbers and even schedule changes the airline made. Here's what the emails ask for, what Frontier says about them, and what to do if you got one.

#What passengers are reporting

#Real booking details inside the emails

According to View from the Wing on November 2, 2026, Frontier Airlines passengers are reporting emails from scammers using their real flight details and confirmation numbers.

The blog post reports that in a Frontier GoWild! Pass Holders discussion, numerous passengers said they received these emails. Several report that the confirmation numbers matched actual bookings, including trips they had already taken and upcoming trips.

Privacy Affairs reported on November 2, 2026, that the emails "carry their real names, flight itineraries and booking confirmation numbers."

#Even schedule changes appeared

Privacy Affairs also noted that in some cases the phishing emails "even reflected schedule changes Frontier had made."

#What the emails say and where they lead

#Two versions reported

According to Privacy Affairs, one version says the booking has an "unconfirmed status due to payment." Another offers a "billing and adjustment refund."

View from the Wing reported that one reader's refund email blamed a ticketing error for duplicate taxes and fees.

#The lookalike site

Privacy Affairs reported that the links in the emails "go to a lookalike site whose address contains 'flyfrontier' but isn't Frontier's." The fake site asks for card details, a billing address and an email address.

#Some passengers entered card details

According to View from the Wing, some passengers say they entered card numbers on the fake site.

#Frontier's statement and advice

#Active phishing campaign confirmed

Frontier Airlines posted a phishing awareness page stating: "We are aware of an active email phishing campaign targeting our customers."

The page was also reported by NBC10 Philadelphia on November 2, 2026.

#What Frontier says it never asks for

Frontier says on the page: "Frontier Airlines does not email customers requesting flight, reservation, payment or contact detail information."

The airline says it will never contact you to:

• Revalidate or confirm an upcoming flight or reservation
• Re-enter or confirm credit card information
• Provide payment information to receive a partial or full refund
• Click a link or button to confirm card details, billing information, or a refund

#Where the data came from

As of November 2, 2026, Frontier hasn't said how scammers obtained passengers' booking data.

Privacy Affairs reported: "As of November 2, 2026, it hasn't said how the scammers got passengers' booking data." The phishing awareness page does not mention a data breach.

View from the Wing noted: "That doesn't tell us where the reservation information came from."

#What to do if you got one of these emails

#1. Don't click, don't reply

Don't click any link or button in the email, and don't reply to it. Don't use any contact information provided in the message.

#2. Check your trip directly

To check a trip, open the Frontier Airlines app or type the website address (flyfrontier.com) into your browser yourself. Log in to your account or use the "Manage Booking" feature with your confirmation code and last name.

Frontier recommends: "If you need to review a Frontier reservation, navigate to Frontier through the trusted website or app rather than through a link in the message."

#3. Remember Frontier's rule

Frontier does not email asking you to confirm a reservation, re-enter card details, or pay to get a refund.

#4. If you entered a card, call your card issuer

Frontier advises: "If you have provided payment information ... please contact your card issuer or financial institution."

Call the phone number on the back of your card. Ask for a new card. Include every card you tried, according to View from the Wing.

View from the Wing also notes: "Web forms can collect what you type before you press submit."

Watch your statements for unauthorized charges.

#5. If you entered a password, change it

If you entered a password on the fake site, change it everywhere you use it. Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts if you haven't already.

View from the Wing recommends: "Change reused passwords."

#6. Expect follow-up texts and calls

Be aware that scammers may follow up with phone calls or text messages pretending to be Frontier. Hang up and call the number on the official Frontier website if you want to verify anything.

#7. Report it

Report the phishing email to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.

#How scammers pick their targets

Scammers find email addresses, phone numbers, and other contact details from data brokers, people-search sites, old data breaches, and marketing lists. They use this data to personalize phishing attempts and make messages like these more convincing.
