I spent about $23 an hour for Frontier Airlines' premium class. I'd upgrade again, but only on one kind of flight.

Upgrading to Frontier UpFront Plus in a Business Bundle for my short domestic flight worked out and felt like a fair value, but it had pros and cons.

Ash Jurberg paid $159 for Frontier's Business Bundle, which included an upgrade to UpFront Plus, a carry-on, two checked bags, no change or cancellation fees, the premium seat, and early boarding. The upgrade cost about $69, equating to $23 per hour on a three-hour flight. Despite the slight recline and blocked middle seat, Ash appreciated the extra legroom and empty space next to them.

The UpFront Plus seat also allowed for priority boarding, which paid off when a student group tried to board earlier than expected. Once in the air, Ash slept for approximately two hours, which was their main goal. Upon landing, they checked into their hotel and visited the Rock Hall of Fame before heading out for dinner. Ash would consider upgrading again, specifically for domestic flights where they could catch some extra rest.
