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 Fall and Winter version once again. Travelers can now buy a GoWild! Pass valid for unlimited travel from September 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, at a reduced $299 rate.

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 multiple versions of the all-you-can-fly pass. The two key differentiating factors between the passes are the price and the validity period.

TypeTravel FromTravel UntilLimited Time PriceRenewal PriceEnrollment Fees
Monthly PassNow30 days from purchaseFirst month $50 + $99 enrollment fee$149/month$99 enrollment fee
Fall & Winter PassSeptember 1, 2025February 28, 2026$299/term$299/termNone
Annual PassMay 1, 2025April 30, 2026$599/year$699/yearNone
Summer PassMay 1, 2025September 30, 2025$399/term$499/termNone

You should 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.

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.

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®.

Limited-time elite status offer

Elite Gold Status (formerly Elite 20K) is worth a look due to its free carry-on bag, seat selection, priority boarding, and complimentary upgrade benefits. If you have a travel rewards credit card, you can buy Frontier elite status valid through December 31, 2026, for $69 — but you'll need to act fast as this offer could disappear at any time.

How to Book a GoWild! Fare With Frontier

You can search for and book flights on FlyFrontier.com but not 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 flight from Philadelphia (PHL) to Raleigh/Durham (RDU) a little under a week from the time of writing, starting at $69. 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 frequently use your pass. 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 a sample flight from Atlanta (ATL) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL).

At first glance, the results are pretty compelling. The basic GoWild! fare is $97 cheaper than Frontier's standard fare (greater than $0.01 fare because of hefty surcharges, taxes, and fees) and $74 cheaper than Discount Den.

But you'll need to fly a lot to make the math work out long-term. Remember, you don't need a membership to book the $113 flight between Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale. Discount Den costs $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 $149 per month, $299 for seasonal terms, 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. For instance, on this flight from New York (JFK) to Las Vegas (LAS), the Basic GoWild! fare is $99:

Which is identical to the standard fare and $20 more expensive than Discount Den:

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 most surefire 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.
