Airline trading cards have become a surprisingly popular collectible. They transform everyday flights into memorable experiences for aviation enthusiasts and casual travelers of all ages. These cards often featuring detailed images of aircraft and celebrate the fleets and history of airlines in a tangible, pocket-sized form. Now, Frontier Airlines is upping its game with limited-edition holiday trading cards with some of the animals from its liveries (the airline normally has some cards, but these are limited for the holidays).
Several airlines distribute trading cards through pilots upon request (and often subject to availability). What began as a niche perk for young aviation fans has grown into a broader phenomenon with collectors trading cards online, sharing rare editions, and tracking limited releases tied to new aircraft deliveries or special liveries. US carriers such as Delta Air Lines for its Centennial, Alaska Airlines for World Pilots Day, Hawaiian Airlines, and United Airlines have embraced the trend as a low-cost but high-impact way to engage passengers and build brand affinity.
Frontier Airlines has four designs (each featuring an animal that is painted on one of its liveries) this holiday season including a reindeer, parrot, polar bear, and flamingo.
Anthony’s Take: Beyond nostalgia, airline trading cards foster personal connections between travelers and flight crews, encourage curiosity about aviation, and add an element of fun to the journey. I always get excited when I can get one on a flight.
