Frontier Airlines clears unlimited travel pass for takeoff from Austin this summer
If blackout dates and traveling light sound doable, these Frontier travel passes could pay for themselves.
Cheap flights are at Austinites’ fingertips as Frontier Airlines offers its all-you-can-fly summer and annual passes. The “Go Wild” passes really do offer unlimited flights to unbounded destinations — both international and domestic — starting May 2.
Both passes are currently deeply discounted. The summer pass, which runs from May 2 to September 30, is available for $399 (compared with $999), and the year-round pass starting on the same day is going for $1,299 (formerly $1,999).
This deal is best for people who travel light and plan fast. Booking options allow domestic flights to be purchased one day in advance, while international gives a little more leeway, with 10 days, and neither include luggage allowances. Still, bags can be purchased as usual, and since the passes cost about as much as an average or slightly higher flight in their respective farthest reaches, it would only take a few uses to practically pay for itself.
Another consideration is blackout dates; not an insignificant number. There is at least one every month, with other, more restrictive months like March, 2024, blacked out on about a third of dates. The pass also auto-renews, so buyers will need to pay attention or be prepared to extend their travel marathon.
Flights travel direct from Austin to Denver or Las Vegas and back; Everything else will take a connection. Austinites can also consider driving to Dallas, which provides 18 more direct route options to locales including New York City, San Diego, Ontario, and Cancun.
This straightforward deal prioritizes flexible travelers, but offers extensive usefulness to someone willing to work around common travel dates and spend a few extra dollars to pack comfortably. More information about the “Go Wild” passes is available at flyfrontier.com.
Mexico Ceaty will bring several concepts to the Shops at Rivercenter.
