You can ONLY book the day before for domestic travel. 😮 We’re questioning our purchase now. You can’t plan anything for certain (hotels, cars), especially if the flight is then fully booked, you’re screwed.
Caution, everyone… I had a great experience with the summer pass with getting flights that were 2 to 6 hours maxed no matter where I was going live in a hub and now to the same cities, I have to fly to the from the West Coast to the East Coast in order to get to the Midwest adding 8-12 hrs to my flight…. Sometimes 20 hours! frontier has changed all of their flight availability and how they schedule their flights and it is not what it seems to be cautious! I just wanted to fly from San Antonio to Houston, and I had to go all the way to Orlando just to get back to Houston from San Antonio…
That and the planes they're using for these flights have gone down. Ive taken 3 flights already this month and every single flight had a delay because something needed maitenance. Its a bit daunting when you have connections too
come fly and see me shawty

Thank you for a straight forward to the Point review 💙🙏🏾💙
Thank you! I watched both videos and they have been so helpful!
Wonderful to hear! Thank you for watching
It is offered now. The annual from May 2024 to April 2025 is $599. I am thinking about it. It sounda like a good deal
Thanks for your advice!!!
Thanks for the breakdown. I saw that they had the go wild for $499 for Black Friday and while I did not purchase it since I do not have the funds for that but if they have a similar price next year on Black Friday I will because I want to travel more and this seems like great deal all things considered
Great video! Thank you for doing this, you answered most if not all my questions
Wonderful! Share the video so the info can reach more ppl
Frontier made me miss my mom's funeral.
Very informative and awesome video!
Thank you Dionne
Fresh into this! So far so good! 4 flights in the past 3 weeks And so many more to go! Keep up the good work bro!
Thanks for the great video
I have the passes also and it is GREAT! The date you were trying to book in this example was on the blackout date list. 7/9 :) I also have to agree that the weekdays are definitely easier.
The biggest downside I have to say so far about having the pass is knowing what cities your hometown flies to in order to connect to other airports. I fly to SLC from DFW a lot. In order to get there SLC only connects to PHX, DEN and LAS. Just take a look at their info on where and how they fly before making the leap.
One more thing...Knowing there are not direct flights for my frequent locations. You can also research and book the connections individually. I was flying before 7/4 so it was busy. I ended up booking DFW to LAS at regular price, ~$50 versus the $15 airport fee, and then the LAS to SLC with the pass. Still a great deal for travel around a major holiday in the summer.
Ahh! Thank you for pointing out the date portion. The pass is very useful if you know how it works
@@TrippinWithJay thanks for the video. quick question. So when flying internationally with the $299 pass are we allowed to book our departure and returning in the same transaction or are we required to book our flights separately?
@@josesalgado1483 if both are within the 10 day window, yes, if not, you would take two one ways once each became within that 10 day range.
Thanks for the breakdown! Found you from your reddit post
Bought my first GoWild this summer (Fall/Winter Pass), can't wait to use it in September ! 🛩 🎫
Thank you for watching, max out that pass and get your moneys worth and then some my friend. Safe travels
Dallas is a new hub city. I actually met the ceo and he is from Fort Worth.
im strongly considering the Fall/Winter pass as we speak. is it worth it to buy??
@@nicolenelson7304 Hey Nicole, If you live in a hub city (LAS, MCO, DEN, and I think theres one more city) then I would say definitely. If you dont live near those cities, you will have to decide for yourself if potential long layovers are worth the cost savings.
how did it go?
I'm thinking the Caribbean sounds like a great place to ride out the second half of December's blackout dates 🏖
Great video 🤝🏾
Thank you!
My wife and I have been delayed on frontier flights on the last 7 flights we have had, but we continue to book due to the low fares. Some for departures, but mostly on arrival we have not been permitted to get off the plane. The last one was for 90 minutes, and they always say they are waiting on paperwork for a “mechanical “ issue just seems odd.
Exactly! I had to board a different plane on two flights because of this and the delays get up to an hr or so.
It’s like a travel club subscription for airlines. They’ll make money off you, you have to work hard to make back value from them.
I think I will jump on this Fall Pass for $299, my home airport is Orlando and also can use Tampa. Just one flight should cover the $299 cost.
that is me as well, based out of Orlando and doing the same!
If orlando is your home airport you struck gold
Same here
Same here but I am based out of Atlanta , I wonder how that will go ?
Right 😂😂
I booked my first flight for September during early booking in June, didn't know how important early booking was when I cancelled that flight shortly after and now have to wait till Sept to book again! Oof 😮💨😓
I was able to finessed the frontier luggage thing by simply booking the first class seat. Its either you pay for luggage or buy that front seat and they let you board no questions, immediately after first class they ask people to do the sizer and they're militant about it. It makes sense though, the promo means loss of revenue so they must now be optimizing that money elsewhere
I was thinking of buying & was wondering if I could upgrade 1st class. How much extra for domestic flights did you pay?
about $30-50 extra depending on the flight and totaling $100 extra. The way the seats are on those flights its worth it lol, Im tall with long legs so unless its an emergency exit or first class the main cabin seats dont cut it. @@katieromero6046
So I am here to find out more information. I understand that maybe complaining may not be ideal; however, I believe it's information. The information I receive allows me to make a more sound decision. So thanks for the information now I want to know what is the difference between the Go Wild Pass and the Discount Den? Which one is more cost-effective?
The dumb thing with it is there is available on every flight that the pass is offered for, they just have a limit on how many they will allow on, probably something silly like 30, otherwise there would be no Availability issues
I just got the fall and winter pass I think it will work for me even if i can’t go to my top 3 places I’ll find an obscure flight somewhere and check out a new city ,,, plus I’ll book a refundable return flight with any airline I’ll loose a little money on the flight insurance but I think it will be worth it for the pice of mind ,,, I don’t know what my savings will be at the end but I’m traveling all the time so we will see
Frontier made me miss my mom's funeral.
how has the pass been working for you so far
I prebooked 4 trips when i bought my pass (it was their current deal), 5 months before my 1st trip it was canceled, 3 months out another was canceled, 2 months out the 3rd was canceled. The one trip I did take all 4 flights were almost 2 hours late and one of the flights was canceled (i was in a different city than I live and had to spend 2 nights in the airport). Its rough!
I could have drivem the 36 hours and got myself across the country earlier. I also had to pay for a flight to get home because i was so late getting to my destination i could not make my return flight.
Oh and i bought TakeOff luggage 4th trip the anchor point for the wheel broke (not the replaceable wheel).
I’m here because someone sent me the info for the pass. It’s currently $499. I live in NYC and I’m not even sure if that’s a Frontier hub. One thing I noticed is that I don’t have many options per day here. And most of the flights have long layovers. Some of them are 16 hours and up. That’s a bit much. I’m on the fence here. I guess those lounges are really necessary.
But I appreciate this video.
Just made an update video for the $499 price
This was so useful! Not something we as a family could ever use
Good to hear, it may not be a right fit for most people, but everyone needs the info to make an informed decision
Frontier made me miss my mom's funeral.
What are all the misc. fees/taxes that we should expect? Heard something like there are airport taxes, so the more layovers, the more taxes, etc.?
Yep, they take you to extra airports to charge extra fees.
Thanks Jay for sharing the info! Appreciate it. Question, how much does the taxes cost me? Is it a flat rate or is it based on the price of ticket in the market on the travel dates?
A carry-on bag will double what you thought your ticket would be.
about 15 per airport you land in, including layovers
How can you find out about the advanced booking windows?
I bought the pass. It was good at first, but now it's a total waste of money. I can NEVER find a flight where I can actually use it. Frontier offers Go Wild mostly on flights I would never take where there are multiple stops for a total of 20+ hrs travel time. Ridiculous. Absurd. Don't waste your money. It's false advertising.
What software arsyih using to stream bro? Love the content
I use OBS and some special plugins to go with it
@@TrippinWithJayman thanks for answering so quickly much appreciated
What was the opportunity cost though? DFW savings are likely lost to the cost of a carry on, CAN lost to the cost of a carry on and and 2 bags that you would have gotten free on other low cost airlines like southwest or JetBlue.
I saw many bad stories on Frontier airlines but I'm willing to risk it. I'm lucky enough to use a few passes. I bought the Frontier gowild for the first time at the promotional price of $499 May 2024 to May 2024. I appreciate your info.
I live in Cancún and fly from this hub to the rest of the world.
I am hoping
So I am a bit confused, if I buy the $299 pass, does that mean I do not have to pay for the flights or are those flights just discounted? I know about the 1 cent booking charge but I was under the impression that you could fly for free wherever you wanted. At minute 8:49 he shows us a flight to cancun but there is still a charge for the flight with the GoWild pass. Can someone clarify please.
Yes, taxes are not waived and have to be paid. In certain instances for domestic flights, there is also a go wild early booking fee if you book a domestic flight more than 1 day out as well. 9/10 times the go wild fare is cheaper than normal, 1/10 times it doesn’t make sense
Is other there fees when you use the pass?
What are the days or those windows when you can use or select the prebooking?
So will any of the flights be $74 to Cancun as long as they are available? For example if you book the day before or 5 days in advance will it still be $74. Or in other words would $74 be the total for taxes and fees for any flight from the U.S to Cancun? Is $74 a fixed price for Go Wild holders flying 1-way to Mexico, assuming that taxes and airport fees are the same for Guadalajara, Cancun, Monterrey, and Puerto Vallarta. I think the actually suspended their Guadalajara flights. If I use my miles to fly anywhere I must pay $5.60 per flight leg. So If I fly nonstop from San Diego to Detroit I will pay $5.60 but will the layover in Denver I will pay $11.20.
Did they announced anywhere that's flights to GDL were being suspended? I can't find any information online.
I just booked my 1st flight using the fall/winter pass. From Dallas to San Diego 4 days from now. I thought I'd have to wait a couple days to book it but it allowed me to do it. I dont know if $68 was a good price for a 1 way ticket, but it was the only direct flight & I didnt want to risk losing it. IDK if I spent more by booking more than 1 day early. I saw after Dec 16th they are allowing advance bookings for Jan....I'm going to book another trip then.
Go to Frontiers city to city page to see where direct flights are. I'm from Dallas area too and Dallas has 20 direct flight locations! Outside of direct flights, you are looking at long layovers. Watch those baggage fees though
@@JohnJohnson-wy6fkThere’s nothing on their home page labeled “city to city.” Where’s this page?
@@wrenboy2726 look for route map or cities
I bought it, but How do I start booking?
Only being able to book the day before is the reason why I don’t want to purchase.
Frontier made me miss my mom's funeral.
The Goal is not to pay full fare
❤😊
Cheap to and From Mexico 😂
you have a backpack carry on alternative? for day traveling? I'd rather flight uber around a bit and go home with the pass just to create new experiences
This is the best carry on for frontier/spirit and the only one I would recommend amzn.to/3JVPlDo
@@TrippinWithJay found a backpack that worked, i don't want a luggage style carry on. thanks though
Raleigh.
I’m a truck driver and I’ve been about fly home for my son bday to my daughter doctor appointment…frontier is trash but this pass is legit
I got the fall/winter pass at 299 a few weeks ago, but now it won't even let me go past August to start booking, what am I doing wrong....
the have opened advanced booking, so try again, also, your route may be at capacity for go wild tickets
What about the return day we have to do it the day before,? How I return to my original departure
Frontier has started with a go wild book, early fee, that you may have to book your ticket with depending on the length of your stay. Otherwise you’ll have to book a one-way at the regular price.
How much is the early book fee?
@@DaddyLogan420 Its about 5-10% less than the discount den, sometimes more, for about 5-18% less than regular. @rubisanchez6010; yes. If you want the best rate, yes, day before you wanna return, so if its strict, tart shopping two days early to depart a day early in case availability is sold out on one of the days
If I lived in Denver, I'd consider this pass.....
So can I book a flight for nov 18 the day before then?
Domestically, yes
I bought the pass in 2022- 2023 and can only take one trip to Houston(Hobby). I tried again this year 2023 - 2024. I have tried to book a flight every week to Houston, Tampa, and any places randomly to see if I can find a flight. I also watchout for those black out date. So far, I have not find any trip. Now is already June, I afraid that I will waist my money. After all, it's not worth the stress that I have to go through in searching for flight. I just want to share my experience with everyone. Is this a scam? Or it may not work for everyone! Depending where you live. If you are in Denver where the hub is, you maybe able to book flight out to difference places. Do more research before you buy the pass.
Came here cause they got this Black Friday deal 499 for the whol year is 🔥🔥🔥
Yessir! That $499 is a steal!
Please make a video on the new $499 deal.
@@fuifua I have already my friend: Frontier's All-You-Can-Fly Pass is ONLY $499? (Updated for 2024)
czcams.com/users/liven0mbrNeW1qE?feature=share
Does that mean you fly domestically, you have to leave the next day? Like 24 hours notice?
Yes, in order to get the lowest price for the flight. They have introduced a “Early Booking Fee” to book further out than 24 hours
Why was it charging to go to MX? I thought flights were free?
The base fare is one penny, however, taxes and fees have to be paid, which is why there is a price for flying to any destination
I saw my flight from Philly to Boston was $25. $5 ticket, $20 in taxes. Does that mean I'd still be paying the 20 for my flight with this pass?
Yes, only the fare is discounted with the pass and CIC charge removed as well
Whats good? My guy
If this is who I think it is, what’s good O, how are you man?
This dude must be getting paid by Frontier Airlines. The Go Wild pass is trash and a ripoff. The seat and bag fees are worse than you can imagine. Don't waste you hard earned money on this scam.
I have this pass and have flown 4 times so far. Flying to Vegas tomorrow for the day. Have another Cancun and Denver slight later this year.
Does it only cover fare? Because when I look the breakdown, cost of taxes and fees actually cost way more than the fare
Is it worth it?
Do i have to get separate passes for me & my 10 year old son?
Did you find an answer?
So I can’t book a round trip it has to be a one way correct?
Correct. One way booking only. And within 24 hours of desired flight.
@@robseibertgulfcoastrealest3243 not wihin 24 hours, no. I can book flights departing all day Sunday after the midnight between Friday night / Saturday morning, Not sure if the calendar day before go wild availability triggers based on departing local time/ date , or Frontier HQ, but because its listed/sold on based on local time, id guess local time.
i just got the year long pass for black friday for 499 and its good until 5/25 so i get 1 1/2 years out of the deal for 500 bucks!!!
Wonderful! It’s a heck of a deal at $499
It starts in may i think.
@@fuifua nope. If you sign up now before black friday, it's good starting now until may 2025
I only know because I just landed from my first flight.
And you only pay taxes and carry on if needed?
It's all bs yeah you get the pass but then they charge you 40$ for your personal bag twice so that's 80$ then they charge you for your seat twice then your charged all these fees your paying 200 to 300 even with the pass it's ridiculous I'm definitely cancelling
Frontier made me miss my mom's funeral.
😮OMG Noooooo
Will you renew at $2000?
Nope, not worth it in my personal situation
They have offered summer renewals at the same discounted price so I'm expecting it to be discounted.
Wait so you can only buy passes the day before lol
With the pass purchased, domestic tickets have to be purchased one day before departure. International tickets can be purchased 10 days before departure
Get elite status brother and I can help you get it.
People complain about everything
True, you cannot satisfy everyone
Hit me up if you come to Detroit
Haha I was just there this past weekend
@@TrippinWithJay lol, well next time you have a friend
The pass is garbage. It takes two days to fly to California from Maryland. If you buy it beware. I checked for random flights to anywhere just anywhere. No luck. Once you factor in staying in hotels for six hours on a layover and missing your flight or having flights in and no flights leaving out this pass is for you.
So if I get this pass … would I be able to get home ? 😅
“Eventually”
Ha! You know it's Frontier, right?
yes! just shop the date before departing for home, check after midnight if you stay up two nights prior.
and then if you ideal depart date isn't there, you can just look at the current day, the one before your ideal depart date, ie the day that just began for availibility
(bc you stayed up past midnight)
Nice video. Garbage Airline tho !
Both those statements are facts 😂

Do not buy if you live in Texas. Total trash. I want my money back still haven’t been able to use my so called yearly pass. Flights are rarely available to and from a place from Texas.
tech capital of the world rn, so lots of people with the income to WFH across the world. not Orlando or Vegas, the two Frontier bases, and far from them bc not on either coast. Works well for me in DE
Not point to get pass , ticket should be 0 its scam
Agreed, thought it was free flights once you got the pass
The prices you pay when you book are the airport fees that you pay no matter how you book. Most domestic airports are $10-$20. Depending on how many airports you go through, that is where the extra cost comes from. $300 plus that for 6 months of travel is still a good deal. :)
@@coryn4474 agreed’
ITS A SCAM period.
lol its not if you have the flexibility to book day before and wait for availability ie depart weekdays. yes, esp with this pass, and M-F workers, Friday thru Sunday , or even sat Sunday, trips will probably sell out near midnight if one of the airports is popular
@@windrunner27 my friend chris is single has a flexible schedule all the above, COULD NOT USE HIS PASS ONCE. He’s the one at the beginning who talked me into buying them for my family of four. We basically set 2000$ on fire. We were NEVER able to book a flight. The one time I attempted to use it they kicked me and forced me to buy a ticket for 600$ at the gate. Not to mention when i booked it the online website said “congratulations you saved 36$ by booking with your Gowild to insure your seat isn’t given to another passenger pay 39$” i was like no thats scammy I didn’t save anything if i do that….Boom that 3$ loss cost me 600$ instead ITS A SCAM. And someone should go to jail for abusing hard working people like this.
My pass activates this May, I'm interested in finding out how you find and use the "booking windows" . also - anyone know if they consider Puerto Rico "international? seeing as how its a US territory?
The Go Wild Pass main page typically announces them, but it’s a good idea to join the go wild pass holder Facebook group to get the latest updates. Puerto Rico is considered domestic travel and i believe the 24-hour rule applies to booking unfortunately :(
its boon for remote workers and old retires. I have bought and used this pass and flew over 40 flights in past 4 months !! Mostly coz I was home locked during covid times and took this as a revenge vacation.. There were times, when I flew 2 roundtrips ( with a transit in between ), literally used it like airline employee and got sick of flying, I think its worth as long as you got time and patience.
Frontier is very well known to cancel flights at last moment !! I think now my passion for flying is kinda fade down.. but I do Thank Frontier for saving 1-2K for all these travels !! Its not for everyone for sure..
One thing I would say to those who hasnt taken Frontier is, coz its low cost, loads of low life people are in the flight.. bear this in mind !! I have had flight with literally a black guy with a baby crawling all over me !! and I even asked attendance to move me or him, but they didnt !! This is a big thing which makes or break your vacation mood altogether !!
What does him being black have to do with it ... That detail could easily have been left out. The slight racism might be the reason they left you on that seat and well deserved
@@illumitali Well I dont like em, and I a def not Woke to let em crawl all over me
You need to take this comment down. You couldn't have said a guy and a baby? Btw I am not black but your comment rubs one the wrong way
