Everything you need to know about Frontier Airlines' all-you-can-fly passes for 2024-25

Nothing excites frequent flyers quite like an all-you-can-fly pass. It’s essentially the ultimate ticket to a feast of travel choices.

Over the past year, Frontier Airlines has introduced several all-you-can-fly passes — some resembling a subscription service for air travel.

Options include seasonal passes, monthly passes (sometimes complimentary for the first month, not counting the sign-up fee), and an annual all-you-can-fly pass.

Here’s what you should know about Frontier's all-you-can-fly passes, including the annual pass for 2024-25.

Monthly Frontier GoWild! Pass

Frontier's monthly pass lets travelers commit to travel periods of 30 days at a time.

An enrollment fee of $99 is required for the first month, along with a $50 introductory fee.

Following the initial month, customers will be charged $149 each month for unlimited travel over 30 days from the purchase date. The pass will automatically renew at the end of 30 days unless canceled. Booking rules align with those of other passes (confirmable the day before a domestic flight or 10 days prior for international flights), and it costs just 1 cent for airfare, plus taxes and fees. Additional fees apply for baggage and seat selections, which can add up for those who don’t travel light.

• Monthly: $50 plus a $99 enrollment fee for the first month, followed by $149 for each subsequent 30 days.
• Applicable for travel within a 30-day window from the purchase date.

If you can manage to cancel in time to avoid an unwanted month's charge (before midnight Mountain time on the last valid travel day of the pass), this could be an excellent way to test Frontier's subscription model for budget flying.

Pricing for Frontier's all-you-can-fly passes

Frontier offers three additional versions of the GoWild! Pass: an annual pass, a fall and winter pass, and a summer pass. Historically, introductory pricing has been available for a limited time following the launch of new versions of the all-you-can-fly pass. After the initial year or season(s), the pass will renew automatically at the standard (much higher) rate unless canceled.

Here are the latest prices and usage dates for all passes:

Annual GoWild! Pass

• The annual pass is priced at $599 for the first year.
• Available for travel from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025.

Summer GoWild! Pass

• Standard price is $499.
• Applicable for travel from May 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024.

Fall & Winter GoWild! Pass

• Special limited-time rate: $299 per year, which automatically renews at $399 annually.
• Valid for travel from September 1, 2024, to February 28, 2025.

Monthly GoWild! Pass

• A promotional offer of $50 is available for the first month (not including the $99 enrollment fee). After that, the pass will renew automatically at $149 per month.
• Valid for 30 days of travel.

Bear in mind that passholders will still incur fees for full-size carry-ons, checked luggage, and advance seat selections—just like on any other Frontier flight. The key to minimizing these charges is to aim for Frontier elite status. You can achieve this by spending on the Frontier Airlines World Mastercard® or through a status match with other travel cards. Then, you can utilize those status benefits for complimentary advance seat assignments or free baggage on this pass.

Starting this year, passholders can earn Frontier miles when they purchase extras with their GoWild! bookings.

Where the Frontier GoWild! Pass can take you

The all-you-can-fly pass from Frontier is applicable for flights to both domestic and international destinations. This grants access to routes that include Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

The booking window officially opens one day before travel for domestic flights and 10 days prior for international flights using the GoWild! Pass. However, our tests have shown that some flights may be available even earlier.

You can check the route map on the Frontier Airlines' website.

For instance, January 2024 had only two blackout dates, while January 2025 will have six. In addition, April 2024 had six blackout dates, but this will rise to ten in April 2025.

Using the Frontier flight pass

Once you've purchased the pass, you can browse and book your flights directly on Frontier's website. While you won't have the guarantee to use the Frontier GoWild! Pass for domestic travel until the day before your trip, you can still plan ahead and secure certain flights in advance.

This year, the website introduces a new feature that allows travelers to search for and select GoWild! flights when they are available. However, be aware that an early booking fee may be applicable.

For international journeys, the airline specifies that you can book and confirm your travel up to 10 days in advance.

In any situation, flights are contingent on availability, and according to Frontier, "last seat availability is not guaranteed."

Although flights booked with the pass will count as activity in your Frontier frequent flyer account, helping to prolong the validity of your miles, they do not earn additional miles or contribute toward elite status qualification.

Flights taken using the pass can earn miles on additional purchases, such as baggage and seat assignments, and they also extend the expiration of existing Frontier miles for members.

Finally, all flights must be booked through the airline's website.

Can children use the pass?

The Frontier GoWild! Pass is open to travelers of all ages, though only individuals 18 and older can buy it. For passholders under 13, enrollment must be done by a parent or legal guardian. Additionally, those under 15 need to travel with someone who is at least 15 years old.

Is the Frontier pass a worthwhile investment?

The concept of an all-you-can-fly pass is incredibly appealing for many travelers.

Regrettably, this pass might only be a bargain if you typically don't spend much on baggage or seat selections. You'll also need to be okay with not having confirmed travel plans until just one day prior (or 10 days in advance for international flights). Plus, you will still need to cover taxes and fees.

If you decide to get the pass, I strongly recommend obtaining Frontier Miles elite status to help reduce those fees. You can achieve this through the cobranded Frontier credit card, and there are often opportunities to match or purchase Frontier status as well.

Frontier often runs promotions that reduce flight prices to $19 or $29 each way. Therefore, it may be more economical to buy a ticket outright rather than pay $14-plus in taxes and fees on top of the hundreds required for the pass.

Moreover, as the number of blackout dates increases, the value of the pass diminishes.

In summary

The appeal of being able to fly endlessly for a set duration at a fixed rate is undeniable. We admire the creativity behind these passes.

Frontier's GoWild! Pass could be perfect for those who are flexible enough to travel wherever there’s availability. It’s also beneficial for travelers with elite status, as it helps avoid many of the extra fees associated with flying Frontier Airlines (or those willing to navigate around them).

Nevertheless, there are numerous caveats, and the actual cost of this pass will vary based on your travel dates and routes. If the trend of increasing blackout dates persists, the pass will offer diminishing value for many travelers.
