F9 Airline Code: Frontier Airlines IATA & ICAO
Frontier Airlines is stored in this dataset as IATA code F9 and ICAO code FFT, based in United States. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
F9 is the IATA airline designator stored for Frontier Airlines. ICAO is FFT. Country of record: United States. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example F9 456. Agents should not confuse F9 (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with FFT (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other United States carriers stored here: UA (United Airlines), AA (American Airlines), DL (Delta Air Lines), WN (Southwest Airlines), AS (Alaska Airlines), B6 (JetBlue). To decode a full itinerary that markets F9, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find F9 at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Frontier Airlines.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 F9 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier F9 (Frontier Airlines) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
