Frontier Airlines just dropped the price of its unlimited summer travel pass again.
Previously promoted at $699, the GoWild! summer pass, which allows holders to book an unlimited number of flights through Sept. 30, is now on sale for $499 instead. The pass usually goes for $999, and the discount is valid until May 31 or while supplies last.
“At Frontier, we are committed to making travel affordable and there is no better value in the industry for leisure travel than the GoWild! All-You-Can-Fly Pass,” Frontier’s commercial senior vice president Daniel Shurz said in a statement. “Since we launched the pass three weeks ago, many GoWild! pass holders have already taken multiple trips for reasons ranging from visits with family and friends, to spontaneous day trips, to exploring new destinations throughout the U.S. and beyond.”
An annual GoWild! pass is also available for $1,999.

But both passes come with some important fine print.
Not all Frontier flights are available to GoWild passholders, and must be booked the day before departure for domestic flights and 10 days in advance for international flights. Blackout dates, listed on Frontier’s website along with the full terms and conditions, also apply. The airline is currently running an extra promotion, however, that waives the advanced booking window for flights booked through May 16 departing through June 8.
Keep in mind that the GoWild pass fares do not include seat selection, carry-on or checked bags or other extras, but those can be purchased separately. Tickets bought with the pass are also not eligible to earn miles. The annual pass membership automatically renews.
