Here's What You Need To Know About Frontier Airlines' All-You-Can-Fly Pass Before Getting It

For those with a serious case of wanderlust, an all-you-can-fly pass might sound like a dream — unlimited flights without worrying about ticket prices. Frontier Airlines' Go Wild! Pass™ offers exactly that, promising travelers as many flights as they like for the validity period of the pass. Deals like this sound a little too good to be true, though. Before you jump in feet first, here's what you need to know about Frontier's all-you-can-fly pass.

Let's start with the basics. Go Wild! offers unlimited domestic or international flights for a flat fee — as little as $299 for a whole year if you buy early! You can go wherever Frontier flies, including many U.S. cities and certain destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America. You can book direct routes — like a winter escape from Philadephia to Miami — or connecting flights.

Frontier offers annual, monthly, and seasonal passes, so you can choose how long and when you need the pass. Amazing, right? There's more good news. Elite members can use their benefits when flying, and you can earn miles and points when booking through Go Wild! It just gets better and better. However, there's quite a bit of fine print to wade through, so before you stampede for Frontier's website, read on.

First, you have to be seriously flexible — we're talking Olympic gymnast-level flexibility — to make full use of Go Wild! You can only book flights one day before departure on domestic routes and up to 10 days before on international routes. That means you're only flying when a seat is available and might not have a return locked in. Quite the white-knuckle experience! If you get stuck without a flight back, you may have to shell out for last-minute accommodation, potentially wiping out the savings with the pass (Frontier recently introduced early booking periods for some flights, but they come at an extra cost). Another issue is the blackout dates, which are often during peak travel periods like holidays and school breaks. If you're hoping to snag a cheap flight for Thanksgiving, you're out of luck. Even Valentine's Day is out.

Tickets cost just $0.01 with the Go Wild! Pass, but then you pay "taxes, fees, and charges." According to the Frontier site, these fees start from $14.90 per person on domestic routes and can run upwards of $100 on international trips. Add Frontier Airlines' baggage fees and a seat assignment, and the pass seems less of a good deal.

User reviews of the pass are mixed, to say the least. In the r/frontierairlines subreddit, some people rave about the pass: "I used the pass for 43 flights in 2024. Only had issues on 1 flight but that was weather related" and "Worth every penny." Meanwhile, over in the r/travel subreddit, other users aren't quite as enthusiastic: "Totally NOT worth it" and "total scam." The main gripe is usually the difficulty of finding flights. In fact, many pass users claim that Go Wild! flights are hard to book. In response, The 1491 Club has sprung up, a subscription-based service that finds Go Wild! flights for you.

The Go Wild! Pass works best for spontaneous travelers who thrive on the unknown when they travel. This is the attitude of a Go Wilder: "No seats to Vegas available? No worries, I'll explore Buffalo, NY, instead." You also need to be comfortable flying with an airline that ranks the absolute worst for legroom, but if you often fly to see family or friends (so have free accommodation), it could be a great deal.

Living near a Frontier hub or at least an airline served by lots of Frontier flights is also key. Some of their busiest U.S. destinations are Denver, Orlando, and Las Vegas. The pass is even better if you have status with Frontier, giving you free baggage allowance and seat allocations. Otherwise, it's time to read our tips for successfully packing light! So, the Go Wild! Pass isn't for everyone, but it could unlock some serious savings.
