Frontier Airlines is offering nearly two years of unlimited flights.
The GoWild! All-You-Can-Fly Pass covers unlimited flights to destinations across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico, through April 30, 2027.
The GoWild! Pass lets you book domestic flights the day before departure, international flights up to 10 days ahead and pay just $0.01 per flight in airfare, plus taxes and fees.
“You’re getting a great bang for your buck. That could be the price of a single airline ticket, so this gives a lot more flexibility for Long Islanders, especially having the ability to fly from MacArthur,” said Rob Schneider, commissioner of aviation for the town of Islip. “It’s a great opportunity for residents on a budget income to still travel and have an opportunity.”
It's a steal for frequent flyers, college students, digital nomads and budget travelers, if you don't mind skipping or paying for extras like bags or assigned seats, which are not included in the pass.
“The GoWild! Pass is a great option for people with scheduling flexibility who can travel on short notice and this is the first time we have sold the annual pass this cheap, plus made it valid for a 20-month period,” said Jennifer de la Cruz, spokesperson for Frontier Airlines. “Frontier is a rapidly growing airline with more than 100 destinations across the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America and there are a huge number of options when it comes to places people can visit using the pass.”
Destinations from MacArthur Airport in Islip include Orlando, Tampa, West Palm Beach, Fort Meyers, Fort Lauderdale, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Atlanta and Raleigh, North Carolina. Flights from LaGuardia Airport can take you to San Juan, Miami, Los Angeles, Dallas, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Cleveland, Denver and Cincinnati. Frontier's full list of flights from your specific destination can be found online.
However, seats are limited, availability is not guaranteed, and last-minute planners might find blackout dates frustrating. You can opt to lock in your flight early for a fee. You can also earn miles for itineraries booked with the pass, which you can spend on bags and seats.
Blackout dates include major holidays and peak travel periods. Specific dates vary by year, and Frontier posts updates in advance for future blackout periods.
For travelers who like flexibility and want to explore multiple destinations on a shoestring, the GoWild! Pass is a rare bargain. But if you want extra comfort, guaranteed seating, or luggage included, the standard ticket may still be a better choice.
Passes can be purchased at FlyFrontier.com or through the Frontier mobile app.
