Frontier Is Offering Another All-You-Can-Fly Pass — This One’s Just $299

Planning to travel this fall and winter?

If you are, check out the new deal being offered by Frontier Airlines. It’s an “all you can fly” pass for fall and winter, and it costs $299.

The GoWild! All-You-Can-Fly Fall & Winter Pass gives travelers access to unlimited travel for six months from Sept. 2, 2023, through Feb. 29, 2024 — although there are 57 blackout dates. Those can be found here, but they’re also at the bottom of this article. That still leaves you plenty of opportunities to travel over half a year, but it makes it tougher to use your unlimited pass during the holidays.

You can use the pass to fly to more than 85 U.S. and international destinations. Frontier says $299 is the price “for a limited time,” but it didn’t specify how long that’ll be.

Also, note that Frontier is an ultra low budget airline, so you’ll pay for extras like water and carry-on bags. If you pack light and don’t require much pampering, you’re good to go.

The deal automatically renews every year at the same price unless you cancel.

You Have to Book Your Flight the Day Before

Here’s another important thing you need to know about the all-you-can-fly pass: You have to book and confirm your flight the day before departure for domestic flights and starting 10 days before departure for international flights.

So you have to wait until basically the last minute to grab your tickets for a domestic flight, which can be a little nerve-wracking for some. It’s been our experience that you can typically get tickets the day before departure, though.

However, there’s an early booking promotion you can take advantage of. Pass holders can visit FlyFrontier.com between now and June 13 to book flights from Sept. 5 through Nov. 15.

No other U.S. airline currently has an all-you-can-fly deal.

The Price of Previous Passes Went Up Later

This deal is similar to Frontier Airlines’ GoWild! Summer Pass, which gets you unlimited flights from May to September. The summer all-you-can-fly pass was originally priced at an introductory rate of $399, but later it cost $699, and still later Frontier dropped the price back down to $499.

Earlier, in November 2022, Frontier announced an all-you-can-fly pass for 2023. Called the GoWild! Pass, the annual pass launched at a price of $599. Within just a few weeks, the price went up to $799. An annual pass now costs $1,999.

So what we’re saying is, if you’re going to buy the fall and winter all-you-can-fly pass, it probably pays to do it now instead of delaying.

Here’s the Fine Print

Here are five other things Frontier says you should know about this all-you-can-fly pass:

• Flights must be booked at flyfrontier.com.
• Flights don’t have any add-on products (like carry-on bags or assigned seats). You can still customize your travel at the time of booking.
• Flights and seats are subject to availability; last seat availability is not guaranteed.
• A fare of 1 cent will be charged for each segment booked.
• You must be 18 or older and a U.S. resident to purchase the pass. A parent or guardian can purchase a pass for their child.

Blackout Dates

There are 57 blackout dates, which you should know about for trip planning purposes. That still leaves you plenty of opportunities to travel over six months, but it makes it trickier to travel on your unlimited pass during the holidays. Here are the blackout dates.
