Frontier Airlines is selling an "all you can fly" pass for 2025. Here's how the $499 offer works.
Frontier Airlines has announced an "all you can fly" pass for 2025-2026, with the $499 "GoWild!" deal including a year's worth of unlimited flights — with some restrictions.
To be eligible, pass holders must be U.S. residents and members of Frontier Miles, the airline's loyalty program, before they purchase the annual membership. If they're not members, they'll automatically be enrolled.
The pass had been available for $299 for a limited window, which expired yesterday. At $499, it's still discounted from its typical price of $699.
"The GoWild! Pass is perfect for spontaneous adventurers, budget-savvy travelers and anyone dreaming of limitless journeys," Frontier Airlines chief commercial officer Bobby Schroeter said in a statement. "At $299, this is the lowest price we've ever offered, making it easier than ever to explore amazing destinations across the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico and Latin America. This limited-time pricing will only be offered to those who act fast!"
Here's how the "Go Wild!" pass works
Once you purchase the deal, you can book tickets on select Frontier flights for just a penny.
The airline warns that not every flight operated by Frontier is available for booking through the GoWild! pass. Additionally, pass holders must pay any taxes and fees associated with the airfare.
What kind of seat do you get?
GoWild! pass holders cannot reserve seats in advance, nor do their fares include carry-on or checked baggage, although these extras may be purchased separately.
That means customers could end up spending $15 or so on just one flight, after buying the pass. Experts say this is one drawback of the deal, given that Frontier often offers deals as low as $19, which are available to customers who aren't pass holders.
When can I book flights?
The unlimited pass allows travelers to make reservations the day before a flight's departure for domestic travel, and ten days before an international flight's departure date.
The pass is valid for travel between May 1, 2025, and April 30, 2026, Frontier said.
These restrictions could deter some fliers from purchasing the all-you-can-fly pass.
"For a certain subset of traveler, this to be really good value," said Scott Keyes, founder of Going.com. "I think of the 22-year-old who just graduated, is a remote worker and might be able to get really good value out of this."
For others, not being able to book seats on planes ahead on one's trip might be a deal breaker.
There are also certain blackout dates around holidays and other busy travel periods, during which the GoWild! Pass cannot be redeemed for a plane ticket. Additionally, pass holders cannot purchase tickets on behalf of other travelers.
The pass automatically renews for a fee of $699, according to the airline.
Frontier first offered the annual pass in 2022, which was valid for travel in 2023. Low-cost carriers have struggled to attract customers of late, as fliers increasingly turn to premium travel offerings, and even legacy carriers introduce new, bare-bones ticket options to compete for budget-conscious customers.
