TL;DR: Following the groundbreaking success of its unlimited summer flight pass launched in Feb. 2023, Frontier Airlines has dropped a $299 fall and winter pass that covers flights between the beginning of September to the end of February. The same chaotic fine print still applies, so read our rundown below ahead of purchasing.

The official dates covered by the fall and winter pass are Sept. 2, 2023 through Feb. 29, 2024, so there is some overlap with the summer pass, which expires on Sept. 30.
Though the seasonal passes roughly cover the same block of time, the fall and winter GoWild! pass debuted for $100 cheaper — a one-time purchase of $299 plus one cent in fees for each trip versus the original $399 of the summer pass. (The cost of the summer pass has fluctuated significantly since its release in Feb. 2023, teetering between $499 and $699.)

Frontier serves more than 100 airports across the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America, though the airline can't guarantee service between all of its official airport locations.
Is the Frontier GoWild! pass worth it?
There's no arguing about whether or not this is a steal. At $299, you're getting unlimited flights throughout almost half of the year for less than the average price of one domestic roundtrip flight. But for those who haven't experienced the quirks of the GoWild! pass this summer — or are unfamiliar with flying Frontier in general — let us refresh you on the fine print.
The ultra-cheap price of the unlimited ticket itself could also be accompanied by Frontier's infamous arbitrary baggage fees for carry-ons. Frontier is not the only airline that charges for carry-ons, but how much that carry-on will cost is often higher than passengers expect. This inconsistency is due to a temperamental bag price checker and moody dimension allowances for carry-ons versus personal items.

While you can fly on literally any date between Sept. 2 and Feb. 29 (barring some grayed-out areas around busy times like holidays), the GoWild! pass only works if you book within a certain window. That window is 24 hours for domestic flights and 10 days for international flights. You can also only book one way at a time, so you'll likely be booking your return trip during — not before — your trip.
If you're set on feeding your wanderlust into the colder months, secure your fall and winter GoWild! pass as soon as you can. It'll likely see an eventual price hike like the summer one has.
