1 Cent Unlimited Flights? Frontier's GoWild Pass

Frontier Airlines, the Denver-based low-cost carrier, started offering their GoWild Pass back in 2023, which is an All-You-Can-Fly Pass. Let's diver deeper into this offer and see if it's right for you.

Frontier Airlines Unlimited Flights Pass

Unlimited flight passes are not a novel concept; they have been around for years. While these programs are inherently alluring, they have sometimes encountered challenges.

In the 1980s, American Airlines offered a select few the opportunity to purchase lifetime AAirpasses for over $250,000, but eventually had to retract some of them.

In 2009, JetBlue launched a more modest monthlong "All You Can Jet" pass for $599, which proved immensely popular, leading to a temporary suspension of sales.

Currently, Alaska Airlines' limited Flight Pass, introduced in February 2022, allows travelers to pay a flat rate for six, 12, or 24 trips per year within California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.

When Frontier's GoWild Pass was announced, it sparked considerable intrigue, with some writers lauding the program as "brilliantly built" and "chaotic but potentially worth it." Naturally, people rushed online to scrutinize whether the deal was too good to be true.

Frontier Airlines Flight Routes

Frontier Airlines doesn't offer connecting flights for all their routes so one needs to understand the program and the terms and conditions for domestic and international travel in order to make sure the GoWild Pass is right for them and the way they like to travel.

Currently, Frontier's prominent flight hubs include Denver (63 routes), Las Vegas (60 routes), Orlando (49 routes), and Atlanta (38 routes). So if you do not live close to one of these hubs, one will need to book multiple flights in order to get to their destination.

But the issues comes into play for the return flights as you can only confirm domestic flights 1 day before departure and 10 days before on international flights. This could be an issue for someone who is on a demanding schedule, but absolutely perfect for retirees and the adventurist backpackers who love this style of travel to begin with as they don't even typically know where they want to go until it's time to go.

The main pro of this is that normally last minute flights cost so much more than the fare normally would cost, but these passes circumvent that issue, as same day reservations are not only welcomed but almost a demand for their domestic travel rules with reservations only allowed 24 hours prior to departure.

We love the fact that international fares allow 10 days out however, due to visa and immigration issues that could come from waiting till the last minute.

Conclusion

This is a dream come true for every for those who love to explore the United States, and those who are located near a Frontier Hub.

If you aren't sure if Frontiers GoWild Pass is right for you, there is no harm in anyone trying out their monthly pass as it's actually even cheaper than their annual pass at the time of this articles publishing.
