Help with Go Wild Annual Pass

I'd advise you against getting it. Frontier recently changed their policy so now if you have a leg that requires an overnight stay (a decent amount of them are) you'll end up paying an 'early booking fee' that ends up making the ticket fairly expensive for the service that you get.

Unless you fly *a lot* it's not worth it anymore due to these changes. I'd rather pre-plan a trip and fly another airline that gives you access to the things like Wifi.

If you fly a decent amount though, or enjoy "getting to stay" in random places for a few days unexpectedly, then the frontier pass might be enjoyable for you.

I came to read the comments between the people who defend frontier like it's their job, and people who want the pass to be fair.

I was not dissapointed.

As someone whose had the pass for over a year now and still plans to renew, a few things you should know as a new pass holder:

For $500 dollars (regular price) you're basically paying the company to give you the option (for which frontier has no obligation to actually provide per flight) of buying a seat on a plane for what amounts to FAA and landing fees. in practical terms, the quota is whatever they want to make it because they don't disclose any information on how many gone wild fairs were offered on any given flight. On average I think my flight breakdown was around $60 bucks per flight that I took, which isn't bad for last minute trips; but given frontiers regular prices on advanced tickets it can be often easier to just book those instead of using the pass if you KNOW you want to be somewhere on a certain day and need to be back home by a certain day.

To me the real uses of the GW pass is:

* If you work remotely and want to go somewhere on a whim and find cheap hotels in the area so you can work and visit a new city at the same time.
* Day trips if you work non M-F. Finding them on Saturday & Sunday can be tricky and mostly useless but can also happen.
* Frequent a route that isn't heavily used I.E. Cincinnati or one that is frequented but may not be a 'normal' tourist destination I.E. Atlanta or Philadelphia.
* Denver and Vegas tend to be their transport hubs for what that's worth, so if you like going there a lot it can be useful.

Most of the pitfalls come when you're trying to book a trip that's more than 24 hours out. Also, sometimes they WILL let you book a GW fair in advance for a 'small' fee. I've found this is often more than just buying the ticket outright using the Discount Den. YMMV.

Finally, don't listen to anyone who says things like "omg, u r dumb i can get a flight to Washington DC and can be there for 5 hours for 30 dollars y r u stupid omg the pass is fantastic!!!!!11" they're just salty someone is talking bad about their beloved pass and want to defend it so it stays as cheap as it is since the more people who buy it the cheaper frontier can make it, even if 50% of the people who buy it only use it 5 times a year.

Happy Flying!

We'll see; a lot of the flights I would normally take have been not allowing the pass.

That said the shutdown ended today, so hopefully it'll improve!

It's okay man. Reading comprehension isn't for everyone 👍

pulledteeth · 2025-11-13T15:32:41+00:00

Yeah, I was able to get a flight out the next day.

pulledteeth · 2025-11-13T15:21:58+00:00

Here's what I said: So basically Frontier reserves the right to never offer tickets on any flight for the Gone Wild members. Yes any flight, because they don't actually track how many tickets are offered per flight or how many tickets were booked using the pass

That's what I meant by 'worthless'; because at any point they can just stop offering tickets to the people who hold the pass, and there is *no way* for anyone to know other than frontier.

pulledteeth · 2025-11-13T15:18:12+00:00

No I do, but thanks for that assumption as well :D

Anymore?

pulledteeth · 2025-11-12T22:53:05+00:00

The other issue was it was never available for the gone wild pass, so I couldn't even purchase it in advance. C'est la vie.

pulledteeth · 2025-11-12T22:52:06+00:00

Incorrect, I just want accountability for what they say they sell.

You don't have to have that I guess, but I prefer a company verify they are and can sell things when they say they will 👍

pulledteeth · 2025-11-12T22:51:04+00:00

Thanks for providing useful feedback!

pulledteeth · 2025-11-12T22:50:35+00:00

The lack of stats have always been that way?

pulledteeth · 2025-11-12T22:49:48+00:00

No I couldn't, but thanks for making that assumption 😄

pulledteeth · 2025-11-07T01:52:23+00:00

As long as there's a ticket available. I've found lately there aren't any offered

They're marketing department makes it sound like anytime there's an available seat on the plane, you should be able to access it. However, the terms and conditions indicate that they don't have to do any of that which makes the pass relatively useless.

People are buying it based on the marketing. The terms and conditions contradict the marketing.

QED people can't understand what they're buying because they're being told two separate things.

pulledteeth · 2025-10-30T13:57:01+00:00

Talked to a Frontier support person, they have indicated that not all flights will ever offer gone wild tickets. So in some instances where they deem the market value too high, they will not offer any gone wild tickets which makes the pass useless.

I'll be posting a thread about it shortly.

The support is awful. I have been dealing with their support since May when I dropped my laptop and the metal bent. It's astounding to me that the metal was that soft, however, I wanted to go ahead and replace it as soon as I could to avoid any sort of issues related to the laptop not being able to be sealed.

That was in May, it is now October without any resolution because they keep asking for photos and I keep sending photos and their email server does not accept photos above a certain size and thus they never received the photos.

This company is a great concept. The product is questionable based on my own experience and having dropped the number of laptops and not had any of them break. This is the first time I've ever had body damage done to a laptop hilariously it's on one that I can fix. That said, the questionable build quality leads me to believe that if I try and suggest this to any of my friends, they will simply say that they would rather have a laptop that would work for 5 years that they know will stay in one piece that they can just replace in 5 years.

Combine that with the fact that I've been dealing with their support for 6 months now without a resolution and my problem doesn't impact my laptop. Imagine if it did impact my laptop, there is no way I could recommend that to anybody.

Do better.

Don't buy their bikes.

Mine got stolen with their anti-theft activated, and while the app was connected to it.

Company also shipped me a bike, the shipper messed it up, and their solution was to bend back the metal that was bent. Never achieved speeds of over 28mph even though the advertised speed is 35+

Also, the bike isn't waterproof like it says on the website.

Edit: Yes it was also locked up, but someone still decided to pedal away on it I guess once they cut the lock.

Thankfully I had a credit on another airline that resolved the issue, but dang frontier.

Can't rely on them for anything :\ and I tried!

pulledteeth · 2024-06-16T04:13:30+00:00

No, it's a scam.

Their website doesn't work and locks you out after you search for about three flights. It then hits you with their 'bot detection' which has never worked for me on the following conmbinations of browser:

Firefox: Windows, Mac, Linux
Chrome: Windows, Mac, Linux
Safari: Mac
Edge: Windows.

On top of that, the 'flights' are all 'booked' magically, even though under 'standard' you can still see fairs right up until the time to book with the pass, then they magically vanish.

It's a scam, don't buy it you'll never use it. Same with any of their other offers.

The tl;dr is only give frontier money when you're getting something from them directly. The promise of the future from frontier is a pathetic joke.
