In late 2022, Frontier Airlines debuted its GoWild! Pass. The subscription-based all-you-can-fly product allows pass holders access to unlimited flights for one fixed price, plus taxes and fees.
And it seems that this pass is popular enough for the airline to offer a winter version once again. Travelers can now buy a GoWild! Pass valid for unlimited travel from August 4, 2026, through February 28, 2027, for $199 for a limited time. This is quite a bit earlier than the pass normally starts, which gives you close to seven months to take advantage of its perks.
While this is an intriguing proposition, does it actually make sense to subscribe? Here's all you need to know about the Frontier Airlines GoWild! Pass, including plans and current pricing.
Frontier GoWild! Pass Pricing
Frontier currently offers three versions of the all-you-can-fly pass. The two key differentiating factors between the passes are the price and the validity period.
| Type | Travel From | Travel Until | Limited Time Price | Renewal Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Pass | Now | April 30, 2027 | $599/year | $699/year |
| Fall & Winter Pass | August 4, 2026 | February 28, 2027 | $199/term | $399/term |
| Monthly Pass | Now | 30 days from purchase | First month $0 + $119 enrollment fee | $149/month |
Keep in mind that unless you purchase a monthly pass, the validity periods are fixed and don't change no matter where in the cycle you enroll. So, to get the most mileage out of your pass, it's best to enroll once a new seasonal or annual pass goes on sale.
Plus, passes are non-transferable and will automatically renew for another term unless canceled. You can view their full terms and conditions on Frontier's website.
Fall and Winter promotion
For a limited time, you'll enjoy additional perks when you sign up for your Fall and Winter pass.
Through August 17, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, you can access blackout dates and enjoy dedicated seats on every flight for travel through January 4, 2027. Note that early booking fees apply.
Blackout dates during this window include:
- September 3-4, 7
- October 8–9, 11–12
- November 24–25, 28–30
- December 19–24, 26–31
- January 1–3
If you need to travel during these windows, it could be worth signing up for the pass as soon as possible and paying the early booking fee to secure your flight.
What’s Included With a GoWild! Fare?
The GoWild! Pass includes unlimited access to Frontier's domestic and international route network. Flights and seats are subject to availability, and blackout periods apply. It's also worth noting that these flights are not status- or mileage-accruing. You can, however, earn miles on the purchase price of the GoWild! Pass itself. You'll also earn miles and elite status points on any extras you purchase, like bags or seats.
Flights purchased using a GoWild! Pass include the flight, applicable taxes, fees, and other charges, such as the $0.01 fare for each segment booked. The only other inclusion is a free personal item — a staple of Frontier's “Basic Fare.”
If you need extra luggage, flexibility, or want to pick a seat, you can purchase an Economy, Premium, or Business bundle. The pricier the bundle, the more inclusions there are.
It's also worth noting that Frontier's elite members have it easier when paying for extras — on both standard and GoWild! Pass flights. The cost of seat selection, priority boarding, and certain types of baggage are offset by holding Elite Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond Status. You can also unlock two complimentary checked bags with the FRONTIER Airlines World Mastercard®.

How To Book a GoWild! Fare With Frontier
You can search for and book flights on FlyFrontier.com or in the airline's mobile app. After logging into your Frontier Airlines account, search for flights like you normally would. If there's GoWild! availability, you'll see the “starting at” ticket price in the fare menu.
For example, you can book a same-day flight from Austin (AUS) to Atlanta (ATL) starting at $16. But you'll pay more if you grab a more inclusive fare.
Frontier advertises that you can find GoWild! flights a few months out. But typically, you can find domestic flights the day before departure and international flights ten days before departure, but your mileage may vary. Sometimes, you can find flights further in advance.
The trick, though, is to sign up for The 1491 Club. This subscription-based service can help you locate flights that have GoWild! availability across all of Frontier's destinations. You'll have to pay for the privilege of seeing availability, but it's worth it if you plan to use your pass frequently. It'll beat searching Frontier's website day by day.
But after finding and selecting a flight, you'll go through the normal Frontier Airlines booking process, picking a bundle if you so choose or sticking with the Basic Fare.
Again, flights are subject to availability, so there are no guarantees you will be able to find flights on your intended travel dates, whether one or 10 days in advance — give or take.
Is the GoWild! Pass Worth It?
The answer to this question depends entirely on how much you travel. To illustrate this, let's look at the sample flight above from Austin (AUS) to Atlanta (ATL). For easy reference, we'll paste the fares again down below.
The results are pretty compelling. The basic GoWild! fare is $197 cheaper than Frontier's standard fare (greater than $0.01 fare because of hefty surcharges, taxes, and fees) and $196 cheaper than Discount Den.
In this example, the savings on this one-way trip almost pay for the entire Fall and Winter GoWild! Pass. But the savings aren't always this pronounced. That's especially true if you tend to book your flights in advance instead of on the day of departure. If you booked this route two weeks in advance, the standard fare drops to $64, while the GoWild! fare increases to $29 thanks to early booking surcharges. Ultimately, that's still savings of $35, but it's less enticing.
And generally speaking, you'll need to fly a lot to make the math work out long-term — especially with the annual plan. Remember, you don't need a membership to book a cheap fare whenever you find one. Discount Den costs $109.99 for the first year and $59.99 each year thereafter. And if you recall from the table at the top of the post, a GoWild! pass costs as little as $149 per month, $199 for a seasonal term, or $599 annually.
Ultimately, the GoWild! Pass, or even a Discount Den membership, can be worth it, but only if you fly enough. Otherwise, you'll just end up paying more up front to pay less later on and fall short of justifying your investment.
And there are absolutely situations where you might also end up paying a lot more to use your GoWild! pass. On a few examples we saw, it's not out of the ordinary for all-in GoWild! fares to match Frontier's standard fare. This is because of government-imposed taxes and fees, as well as carrier-imposed surcharges — particularly if you add connections.
So, our advice is this: poke through Frontier's website and price out routes you might take so you can evaluate the taxes and fees in the context of your other options. That's the best way to determine if the math will work in your favor.
Final Thoughts
An all-you-can-fly pass program is incredibly appealing in an environment where travel costs can be extremely high. Paying a fixed fee plus taxes and other applicable charges to book a ticket, even if last minute, is intriguing.
But Frontier's GoWild! pass is clearly not for every traveler, and it's not always the key to saving the most money on Frontier flights (that award could go to Discount Den). And that's assuming you use it enough to justify the subscription costs.
That's why it pays to take a long look at the routes you'd potentially fly and see what you might pay on top of the subscription fee. While these fares may look cheap — and $0.01 is actually very cheap — it's the taxes, fees, and surcharges that might bite you.
