Frontier Airlines Offers Unlimited Flight Pass for $299 with Blackout Dates and Limited Booking Window

Frontier Airlines is offering an unlimited travel pass for $299, valid for flights to 75 US destinations and some international destinations. The pass grants airfare for $0.01, but customers must pay for taxes, fees, baggage, and other charges. The pass is limited to last-minute bookings and subject to blackout dates. The discounted offer ends September 5, after which the price will increase to $599. The promotion is part of Frontier's strategy to become the top budget airline in the US, following Spirit Airlines' financial struggles.

Frontier Airlines has announced a limited-time offer for its annual GoWild! unlimited travel pass, priced at $299. This offer is valid until September 5, after which the price will double to $599. The pass allows passengers to book unlimited flights on domestic and some international routes, with the fare starting at $0.01 plus taxes and fees. The 2026-2027 GoWild! pass is valid for 20 months and can be used immediately, providing the longest travel window since the program's inception in 2022 [1].

The pass, which is non-transferable and valid until the end of April 2027, allows bookings one day before departure for domestic flights and 10 days ahead of international flights. An additional fee is required for early bookings. Passholders can make reservations through Frontier's website or mobile app. However, there are restrictions: flights are subject to blackout periods, typically during busy travel times. For example, blackout dates in 2025 include January 1, 4-5, 16-17, 20; February 13-14, 17; March 14-16, 21-23, 28-30; April 4-6, 11-13, 18-21; May 22-23, 26; June 22, 26-29; July 3-7; August 28-29; September 1, and more [1].

This promotion is part of Frontier's strategy to capitalize on the market share left by struggling low-cost competitors like Spirit Airlines, which has faced financial difficulties. Frontier's expansion of the GoWild! pass is seen as an opportunity to attract budget-conscious travelers who are looking for more flexibility and value in their air travel options [1].
