Early last year I posted on a new exclusive incentive Frontier launched to get more customers. Frontier GoWild is just a year around pass you can buy to fly Frontier airlines all year around. You’ll be able to visit cities like Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Chicago, and I think New York bout don't quote on that. Some of these are major provider cities and for $600 for a year it’s not bad.
Now, with Frontier launching this they also recently launched Frontier GoWild Summer Pass. You get all the incentives of the original pass but the summer pass is only active through the warmer months and you pay $400 instead of the $600 for the year around pass. If you have the year around pass this won’t mean much to you, but if you’re a client and want to enjoy yourself for the summer time I don’t so much see a down side to this. You save hundreds of dollars on airfare and what money you do save you can use that money for your next provider. Win, fucking win.
Tell me what y’all think….

It is very tempting, but I took a look at the fine print and you have
to be extremely strategic if you plan on using it. Between the long list
of blackout dates, the fact that you can't book until one day before
your desired flight and the potential luggage, seat selection, taxes
etc. you may end up spending almost the same price for a regular ticket
with each flight. Also, you can't book a round trip ticket, you have to book your return flight a day in advance of departure as well, so you might end up not getting back home on time. However, it's still a very cool concept, thanks for
the heads up.

Can already say that the restriction on being able to book only a day in advance makes this a no for me. If I can’t get a flight out but I’m scheduled to work the next day and have to get a new hotel room that’s money lost both ways.

The fine print makes it a pretty awful deal. Budget airlines like them will fee you to death on each flight. It might be ok if you are traveling with only the clothes on your back and you also have similarly flexible accommodations if you can't get a flight out. They also don't have many direct flights, especially to major cities. There are just too many hurdles.
I've flown Frontier a few times to Cancun and it was ok because that's a popular route for them but I wouldn't take them anywhere else.
