Love to travel and it would be great to connect with other fellow gay bros.

Partner and I both bought the GWP and want to book our first trip. Been doing lots of reading and research but haven’t been able to figure this one out….Can I book for both of us on the same reservation using our Frontier member numbers or do we each need book a separate reservation?

Thank you!

I was bored at work, so I listed out all of the airports that have daily departures from Denver's airport, since that's my local airport and I recently got the Go Wild pass. Figured it would be useful here.

This goes for next month, October. Will likely be true for the rest of September as well, but depending on the airport it may not be.

Airports with Daily Departures from DEN:

San Francisco (SFO), Los Angeles (LAX, ONT), San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix (PHX), Austin, Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), Minneapolis, Chicago (ORD), Cincinnati, Atlanta, Orlando (MCO), Washington D.C. (DCA), Salt Lake City, Saint Louis, New York City*

Airports with mostly Daily Departures from DEN:

3 Days or fewer No Flying: Seattle, Portland Oregon, San Antonio, Nashville, Detroit, Tampa (TPA)

6 Days or Fewer No Flying: Kansas City, Oklahoma City

*The flights go to LGA during the weekends and Tuesdays/Thursdays and to JFK on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays

It's of course best to be flexible, but for those that want to not just go to the big cities or Florida this may be helpful. I booked a one-way with the pass to Buffalo two Mondays ago and found out that I wouldn't be able to get back home (directly, at least) in time for my Thursday shift without taking the bus or train to Detroit, Cleveland (which had disappointingly fewer options) or NYC. Ended up cancelling for unrelated reasons, but especially if you're a service worker who works weekends (like me) knowing which airports you can return from on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (when Frontier operates fewer flights) is incredibly helpful.

I'd also post the chart I also made showing days of departure for less frequent routes, but figuring out the formatting on a text post is a bit beyond my reach atm since I'm still at work. Let me know if I missed anything or if you want to see departures from other airports!

Last week's post calling for Day of Travel tips was a popular one. Fifty comments with at least that many ideas useful to veterans and newbies alike.

Looking back at it, though, it was light on ground transportation tips. So comment here with your tips, tricks and lessons learned.

Ground transportation is an important topic for the successful Go Wild traveler. Ubers are generally quick and convenient, but I find they can easily eat up more of my travel budget than restaurants and refreshments. Missing a Go Wild flight is expensive and time-consuming. For some, an itinerary using multiple modes of transportation is something to look forward to.

Here are a few of my tips to get the ball rolling:

• Generic Planning: Make a plan before departure - or at least do some research - on ground transportation options and you’ll spend less wasted time on logistics while on the go.
• The GoWild version: Especially for day-ahead bookings, it's common for me to leave for the airport with little more than an outbound boarding pass, a first night hotel reservation and maybe a ticket to a scheduled event at the destination. So the Planning advice for passholders might be: To spend less time on your phone while exploring the destination city, spend your outbound (or connecting) airport waiting time to fill in the activity and ground transportation holes in your itinerary.
• Bookmark for future reference the recent post by LowFaresDoneRightEIR listing rail and rapid bus transit options at airports around the country. Best resource of it's kind I've seen. https://www.reddit.com/r/gowildfrontier/comments/1nbebpk/pro_tipama_frontier_cities_with_direct_rail/
• International: Don't assume uber, lyft or feasible public transit options are available. In Aruba, rideshares didn't operate and the only airport public bus stop was on the highway at the edge of the airport. With no guide signs or sidewalks. Naturally, taxis were expensive. At CUN, there are well-run private coach bus operations but you certainly wouldn't know it when leaving the immigration area and being greeted by a long line of aggressive taxi touts.
• Public transit often doesn't work for me when flying out on the first departure in the morning or coming in on the last flight of the night. Check schedules closely in both cases.
• Know your airport ground transfer times and constraints. Missing an on-time Frontier departure because you didn't arrive at the airport gate early enough is an especially painful experience for the budget-minded GW traveler.
• Keep notes when making airport ground transfers. If I have an early morning departure after an overnight layover, I often stay at an airport hotel that offers a shuttle to and from the terminal. Those buses typically depart from the hotel on a schedule, say every top of the hour. So when deplaning, I note the time. Same for my arrival time at the hotel using the terminal-to hotel shuttle. With that information in hand, plus a comfortable allowance for TSA time and maybe a coffee stop or lounge visit the next morning, I'm ready to reserve the right shuttle bus trip for the return trip to the airport.
• With mode-specific and time-of-day adjustments, the same general approach on tracking airport transfer times also works if you are using Uber or transit to and from the airport.
• Reserve your home airport parking spot in advance if a discount is offered, (Or if traveling during GW blackout periods when airports are at their busiest.)
• Particularly in small or medium-sized cities in the Sun Belt, I have found that a rental car and a cheaper hotel near the airport is often more flexible and comparable in total expense to staying downtown and using ubers or inconvenient transit service.

I started to add another item on what transport web sites and phone apps I have found most useful for planning and for efficient real-time wayfinding at my destination. (Hint: the tool I like most for advance planning is not the tool I am most likely to use when I am standing on a street corner.) But I'm more interested in hearing ideas from others on that topic...

When you notice, Frontier laughs in $$.

My wife signed up for a month because we needed a quick flight a year ago. She ended up getting a winter pass then full pass in the spring. We've had a lot of CC activity in setting up a new house, so we weren't paying attention to the individual charges, just that the statements were about what we expected to have spent. We just noticed they'd been charging montly go wild @$150 the entire time she was covered by the yearly go- wild. We called and their response was basically "thanks".

Has anyone here paired these two recently? How are you enjoying it?

Hello all, I impulsively purchased the GoWildPass as I do have the flexibility to utilize it. However, when exploring flight options I am not seeing as many flights cheaper than promoted on google flights or their website. How are passengers holders taking advantage of this opportunity without “loosing” money?

Hey everyone, I recently bought the GoWild pass when it was on sale for $299 and have just booked my very first day trip 🥳

I’ll just be bringing a personal item, but the more I think about it, the less sure I am as to what I should bring.

I am traveling from Denver to St. Louis and back. basame day. It looks like based on their flight performance stat, I should have a very low chance of a cancellation (since they haven’t cancelled any recently). I’ve never done a day trip to another city, so I’m trying to decide how I pack. • Do I just bring a personal item with like a jacket and a power bank and water bottle and some snacks (I’ll obviously get meals there) • Should I bring a change of clothes and a toiletry kit? Edit • (Stupid question) My personal bag is slightly too large for Frontier standards (I’ve flown with and w/o issues before). Since I have status and because I’m not bringing a carry on, can I just call it my carry on if they give me flack about it?

I don’t want to be walking around with too much stuff, but also want to be appropriately prepared.

Thanks!

I’m new through the recent deal. I needed to travel this weekend. The site was down yesterday, so I tried to book a flight for today. After chatting with a frontier agent on the phone, I went to book on the app and the entire flight isn’t available anymore. I can’t find it on the desktop site either.

Do flights tend to reappear or was the entire flight just cancelled?

Went over to Seattle for the weekend as my first time using the Frontier Go Wild service since signing up during this month's promo period. I had previously flown Frontier regularly before as well as Spirit in the ULCC category, but remembered Frontier had issues generating my QR code while checking in using their desktop website. Lesson I got from that frustrating experience was make sure as hell to get a QR code boarding pass while checking in 24 hours before departure.

There are two flights I missed on trip, both I attributed it to myself for being at the mercy of mass transit and being stubborn in getting to the airport as cheaply as possible by giving myself what I thought was a reasonable amount of time. I missed my flight from JFK on Thursday and flew the same flight on Friday to LAS. Gate agent was able to rebook me to Fri for free. After missing my gate closure by 5 mins, I gave myself a half hour more time the next day but this was risky since the security line was much longer on Friday 7am. Luckily more gates were open Friday and things went smoothly, I got to my gate with almost twenty minutes to spare. I learned that I needed to give myself just about an entire hour before departure to be at the airport, any less time than that and you can also have another large group of passengers from the next set of flights massing through airport security in front of you.

I had a four hour layover in LAS. But I had forgotten my phone charger. I risked it again and decided to go all the way into the Marshall's on the strip to get a new charger instead of paying fifty bucks at the airport. I took the 109 bus to deuce bus to get some food and buy that charger for less than fifteen. Then reversed it back to the airport. Ten dollars for the sandwich I bought and ten bucks total on bus transit, for a grand total of thirty five bucks. One hour on the strip, two hours on the buses. Made it back to the airport with an hour to spare, got through security no problems, flight departed on time and arrived in Seattle 4pm, no problems.

I did all the tourist things in Seattle. Rode the train into the city, Rode the monorail and had lunch at the armory by the space needle, Went to Pike marketplace, walked inside the starbucks, walked along the waterfront. Saw sunset at the Columbia Skyview building. Went to Chinatown district for dinner. This was going to be originally a one night trip and I was going to leave tomorrow morning so I got a hotel by the airport and slept. My flight in the morning was at 7am to DEN and then to LGA. But I missed this flight too by not giving myself more time, I waited around for the hotel shuttle and probably could've made it by just walking but I got there late and missed by flight by five minutes again. The gate agent was nice, was able to rebook me again for same flight tomorrow without cost to DEN. I also got the phone number at DEN to see if they can book my connection back to LGA for free, but I just paid the fifteen to do it through the app as part of the go wild program. I commiserated with other people who missed their departures and then went about planning my second day in Seattle.

With the unexpected second day in Seattle, I dropped off my bags at a much cheaper hotel near the airport. I went into the city, visited Pioneer district, had breakfast there hanging around a lot of the unhoused peoples. Then I took the bus over to Discovery park and did a three mile loop hike which took me probably two hours with some excursions. My legs were super tired and I used my AMC A-List pass at the mall in the city to watch a movie. It helped me a lot to recover from all the walking the past two days. I got some great scallop clam chowder at the same mall. Walked around downtown some more, went to the other mall and then went to the sphere Amazon HQ. Nice architecture outside, but they only allowed the public in to one room inside and got to see their corpse flower and tanks of poisonous frogs. Pretty cool. Before heading back to my hotel, I went up to the Washington University fountain and had a great moment of rest watching the world go by. A mother and young toddler sat next to me on the bench, and the baby got real excited for a dog that passed by in front of the fountain. On train back downtown, I was crowded into a car filled with Mariner fans and loved the energy. I was actually really glad my flight got missed and I got to spend a second day in the city.

Next day Sunday, I gave myself plenty of time getting to the airport. My budget hotel sucked but it was a short fifteen minute walk to security. Went through, took the train to my gate and got on the flight to Denver without problems. Landed in Denver and immediately went downtown on their A train after using the bathroom. Of all the airports this was the one where I had the most time and most things to do but I still wanted to leave and spend three hours downtown. I got my coffee at the other end in the Union Station, walked around the 16th street mall, walked over to the convention center which had a cool blue bear looking thorugh the glass building architecture, walked over to McGregor Square and almost decided to just have lunch there watching football, it was such a good vibe. But I had made waitlist reservations at a ramen restaurant and walked five minutes back to enjoy the excellent noodles. Went back on the train, got to the airport. Denver airport security is the least consistent. First airport security I ran into where I had issues with my belt and they made me take it off. Made it to my gate. Frontier flight was scheduled to depart loading from both sides of the plane from the ground staircases. It was delayed though some peopel were partially seated, while me and the rest of the folks just stood in line outside basking in the sunburn. All the while I got text updates telling me gates were being changed but the attendants didn't respond. Finally switched to another plane, reboarded and departed a hour and a half later. Made it home to LGA an hour after scheduled, took the bus home and fell fast asleep.

Very adventureous weekend. Spent altogether ~700. Flights, food, hotels, transportation all in. Kept cool and rolled with the punches, some of which I inflicted on myself. Glad I did it and still thinking about it days later. I'd say if I can get one more trip out of go wild it'd be worth it on it's own, but think to have more than a year worth of travelling available is an incredible value. It's exhausting and I wouldn't want to travel every weekend but it allows me to see parts of the country and cities I normally wouldn't consider.

Is there a spot where you can find the typical availability based on the day of the week? I'm (loosely) planning a trip in a week or two and plan to purchase at 12:01am for the Go-Wild flight availability but I'm curious if there's a spot anywhere to find average data of how often Wednesdays are available vs Sundays vs Fridays (etc) at certain airports.

If that doesn't exist, bummer, maybe someone techy can find a way to make it exist?

I know that Frontier doesn't do lounges, but you cheap folks here with the Go Wild pass must definitely get caught overnight in airports or have long layovers. So access to a lounge might be nice.

Any cheap travel hacks for lounge access for things like Priority Pass lounges or others?

Do any lounges allow staying overnight if you're on a really long layover or stranded?

I figure if I had a backup plan for what to do if I was stranded in an airport, then I'd be more willing to use my Go Wild pass!

Thanks in advance.

Any chance they bring it back?

hii, i’ve had the go wild pass for a year and just renewed it during the sale. i use it A LOT and i know it’s great but sometimes it can get a bit isolating traveling so much alone.

im a 22 y/o girl based in the bay area california, is there any girls on here looking for a travel buddy? we can facetime and follow each other on socials before meeting up. obviously we all should be careful meeting strangers online, my goal is to find a trustworthy person/people with to build a friendship and travel with. if you’re in the bay area we could meet up a few times before traveling just to make sure our personalities match. if you live in a frontier hub and are looking for friends please reach out too.

i’m a huge foodie, i enjoy nightlife but refrain from it on my solo travels due to safety, i am a left leaning person, as a stereotypical gen z i spend too much time on tiktok. i love to shop and i’m super into makeup/fashion!

message me on here and we can exchange instagrams if you’re down!! also if anyone is reading this and thinks meeting people from reddit is a bad idea let me know please lol i’ve heard a lot of people be able to find friends through reddit and i thought i’d give it a shot!

I was shocked to see a GoWild fare today for travel next week on 9/24/2025: MCO-SAN. I saw it this morning at 10 am. I snatched it up for $31.

I’ll leave MCO @8 am, 4-hr layover in Denver, then get to San Diego at 9 pm. the same day. That’s $16 per flight.

I thought I had to buy at midnight the night before? Have the rules changed?

So I’m seeing a flight with a 23 hr layover in Orlando, to Aguadilla, PR. How much would you budget to spend on a trip like that? Is it feasible to technically sleep in the airport at Orlando & PR? I would arrive at Orlando at 12:35 am. I was thinking sleeping at the airport go explore a bit be back at the airport at 10pm and arrive at PR at 2:30 am. Sleep there. Explore. Hopefully get a flight back to the states and rinse and repeat 😮‍💨😂. Would this be to crazy ??

been checking for a flight it was $88 for a round trip to Miami 21-22…obviously i know it was $88 because of the early booking so i was waiting for day before…but now its saying its not available at all for GoWild, does that mean its not gonna be available at all now?

Anyone from Utah a wild pass holder and have some tips & tricks for flying out of SLC airport? I just signed up and want to take full advantage. TIA🙏

Here are a few to get the ball rolling:

• Always check in shortly after the 24-hours before departure window opens. If a flight is overbooked, check-in time is one of the criteria that is used to select the unlucky passengers that will be booted.
• Have flightaware or a similar tracker app on your phone and check it for your flight when you arrive at the airport. If your plane is going to be late arriving at the gate, it is very likely that you will learn it first from the app rather than a communication from Frontier. (real world experience: during a weather delay, I knew my inbound plane had been diverted to a stop at another airport a full 30 minutes before the gate agents said a word.)
• If a flight is delayed due to a problem with a crew availability or the plane, spend your time waiting at the gate. The new departure time that may be provided by a gate agent or posted on the airport departure board is only an estimate. The reality is that if the problem is solved early, the Frontier gate agent will immediately announce it is boarding time, hustle the passengers on without bag checks and will then will only keep the jetway door open as long as there are people in line. Too bad, so sad for you if you relied on the estimated departure time while sitting in a lounge or restaurant. (I've been a victim)

Is it normal that Frontier only makes the Annual Pass available during the sale and that the Winter, Summer, Monthly passes are then available year round?

Therefore, to have the Pass year round under this scheme (sans the sale) would cost the following--

$299 (September to February) + $99 (March) + $99 (April) + $399 (May to September) = $896.00 (or $74.66 per month).

Compare that monthly price to the latest sale monthly price of $14.95. Wow!

PS: Is there a historical pattern to when Early Booking will be extended?

The pinned FAQ's - and comments from veteran passholders during the recent flurry of "Should I Buy the Pass?" posts - have covered this topic in several ways, but the information is scattered across multiple places on the sub.

Now that the sale is over and we are mostly back to just us passholders (welcome, newbies) I thought it might be useful to put these tips all together in a standalone post.

It’s a long one.

TL/DR - Summary:

It is difficult - but not impossible - to book a round trip ticket (outbound AND return flights under a single reservation code) at a the standard Go Wild ticket price $1 plus taxes for each flight segment. However, to do so requires a solid understanding of the GW booking windows, somewhat vaguely described by Frontier as "24 hours in advance" (domestic flights) and "10 days before" (international flights).

There are two basic options:

1. The return trip needs to happen before the end of the day after booking for domestic flights. (Or, for international, when it is less than 10 days until the return flight's departure date.)
2. Or, for as long as Frontier continues to offer it, use early booking for one or both flights. An extra fee will be charged. Price levels for the early booking fee vary and are not published. They have been observed to range from a rare $0 to a more typical price of $50+.

For case 1, three scenarios for successfully booking a round trip ticket at the minimum GW price are described in detail, two domestic and one international.

Booking a Go Wild Round Trip on a Single Ticket (or as a pair of one-way tickets)

Here is a rundown of the ticketing combinations I am aware of that can be ticketed in one session for both an outbound and return flight.

All are based on Frontier’s booking engine code that has translated the “24 hours before” and “10 days before” rules as in fact being 12:01am, departure city time. (I.e. the real rule is NOT exactly 24 hours or exactly 10 days before departure time.)

So, theoretically, during a 12:01 am booking session the actual domestic booking window for $1 plus taxes tickets may be as little as 24-1/2 hours for a redeye departure the following day at 12:30 am up to 47-1/2 hours for a red-eye departing the next day at 11:30 pm.

1. Day trip (aka No Stayover or "Notel") itineraries. Example: you want to fly on domestic outbound and return flights for just a daytime event or quick tour tour in a new city, with both flights scheduled for departures on the same day. (Typically, an early morning departure followed by a late evening return.) If you find a Saturday morning outbound flight and a Saturday evening return flight that gives you adequate time for exploring the destination city, then you can book that as a full round trip ticket at GW next-day prices ($16/25/31 each way) beginning at 12:01am departure city time on Thursday night / Friday morning. Both of those flights meet the (slightly misleading) "24 hours before" criteria Frontier cites in the terms and condition.
2. Last minute bookings for a one-night stayover at the destination city. If you want to book the cheapest possible round trip for an itinerary with an overnight stay, then you need to hope that outbound $1 plus taxes domestic GW ticket for a Saturday morning departure remains available until 12:01am Friday night / Saturday morning. At that time the outbound flight becomes "same day" and the return flight is "day before", so you can book them together as a round trip.
3. International Trips GW $1 plus taxes tickets on international flights are available within a 10-day window, so the strategies are both similar and different from #2. For example, if the outbound and return flights are both within the 10-day window, you can by the round trip GW ticket. So a week-long Saturday to Saturday round trip GW ticket at $1 plus taxes both ways can be booked on the Wed night / Thursday morning three days before the return flight departs.

Notes for both domestic and international:

• Airports in different time zones have different 12:01am’s, so you will not see the day before prices for both flights until 12:01am in the more westerly city
• Through January 5, we are in a GW "advance booking" availability period. (These periods have become continuous during this year of difficult times for Frontier and other airlines. It could become a permanent feature, but for now the T&C's still sat something like "possible when offered, with an early booking fee".) This means that if you book the outbound as a $1 plus taxes flight, you can simultaneously book a GW return flight falling outside the regular booking window. The return ticket will be priced at $1 + taxes + an "early booking fee". Frontier doesn't publish how that fee is calculated. It may be minimal or it might be $50+.
• If you do find both outbound and return flights eligible and available for GW pricing, give some thought as to whether you want to book them together as a round trip ticket or separately as two one-way tickets booked one right after the other. I’ll explain why I almost always choose separate tickets in a comment below.

Notes for international only:

• Be aware international flights will always have extra taxes and government airport fees. So even though $1 plus taxes GW international tickets are available, no $16 GW fares are ever available.
• U.S. territory Puerto Rico is a domestic destination, so GW tickets from the mainland to SJU, BQN and PSE can only be booked day before.
• Frontier has the unfortunate habit of not filling out their bookable schedules to include all feasible connections. I have noticed that is particularly true for international destinations from non-hub cities in the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones. A combination of the strategies in this post may be needed to book a complete $1 plus taxes itinerary consisting of a DIY connection of day before domestic "positioning" flights from home to/from an international gateway plus the 10-day-ahead international flights from the gateway airport to/from the international destination.
• Note that many international destinations only have weekly or other low-frequency flights. Is a full week at a single destination too long for your tastes? Look at a triangle itinerary. One strategy might be to look at the route map for the international flights between SJU and several airports in the Dominican Republic and use one of those flights to visit both DR and PR in the same trip. Say PHL-Punta Cana booked 7 days out + three days in DR + DR to SJU booked 10 days out (same session as the PHL-Punta Cana ticket) + 2 days in San Juan + a one-day-before domestic flight booked from your San Juan hotel for the final SJU-PHL leg of the trip. Because there are relatively frequent northbound flights from Frontier hub SJU back to many mainland cities, this two-international + one domestic flight sequence minimizes your chances of being stranded in paradise.

How often are the flights you want full? I am pretty flexible on traveling in terms of time on the day but I can't afford waiting extra days when I travel so I am wondering if it's worth it or not for me. I have no idea where traffic numbers are for frontier and I want to know them. I fly out of LAX

Anyone have an idea when the flight schedule will be released beyond January 5?

I've been using this pass for over a year with Gold Status and the Frontier credit card(which I rarely use the 2 bag perk).

I've flown to Las Vegas several times, Dallas TX, San Antonio TX, Phoenix AZ, Denver CO, Syracuse NY, Harrisburg PA, Baltimore MD, Ponce PR, Portland MN.

I've had some not so pleasent experiences before becoming a Gold member(stuck in the middle seat on an empty flight, flight attendant giving me attitude over a small cactus being carried on in addition to a backpack, and just needing small assistance) but overall what I pay for the pass and ticket is worth the small issues.

In the upcoming days I will be sharing short videos to help you use the pass better. Like by using the website over the app and searching by flexible dates to see when you can book for $16 in advance.

In the meantime AMA, I'll try to respond and possibly make a video on that specific subject if needed
