GoWild! Pass Booking FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
To help you navigate the specifics of booking with your GoWild! Pass, we’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Booking for Groups and Mixed Fares
Can multiple passengers book together on one reservation?
Yes! Traveling with friends or family is easy. You can book for multiple passengers on a single reservation, provided that each passenger holds a valid GoWild! Pass at the time of booking. The system will verify the validity of each pass during the booking process. It’s also possible to book together even if passengers have different types of GoWild! Passes, such as summer or annual passes.
Can I combine different fare types (Standard, Discount Den, GoWild!) on a single booking?
Yes, flexibility is key! You can mix and match fare types within a directional booking. For example, you might choose a GoWild! fare for yourself and a Discount Den fare for a travel companion on the same outbound flight. However, all passengers intending to use a GoWild! fare must possess a valid pass, and if Discount Den fares are selected, the primary passenger must hold a Discount Den membership. Again, different types of GoWild! Passes (summer, annual) can be used together on the same reservation.
Understanding GoWild! Pass Travel: Not Standby
Is GoWild! Pass travel standby or space available?
No, the GoWild! Pass offers confirmed bookings, not standby travel. Forget the uncertainty of standby! With the GoWild! Pass, you search for and book confirmed seats. As outlined in the terms and conditions, domestic flights can be booked starting the day before departure, and international flights can be booked starting 10 days before departure. However, remember that flight and seat availability are subject to change, and last seat availability is not guaranteed. Plan your spontaneity accordingly!
Managing Your Bookings and Avoiding Penalties
What happens if I can’t make a flight or need to cancel?
Life happens, and plans change. If you need to cancel a GoWild! Pass booking, it’s crucial to do so as soon as possible before your flight’s scheduled departure. No-shows not only inconvenience other travelers by holding seats that could be used by someone else, but they can also lead to penalties for GoWild! Pass holders. Repeated no-shows or violations of the pass terms and conditions may result in financial penalties or even revocation of your pass privileges without a refund. Standard change and cancellation fees and policies apply to GoWild! Pass bookings once they are confirmed. No-shows are also subject to Frontier’s Contract of Carriage, so be sure to familiarize yourself with the GoWild! Pass Terms & Conditions for complete details.
GoWild! Pass: Is It Really Worth It?
Is the GoWild! Pass as good as it sounds? Are those incredibly cheap cross-country and international trips real?
Yes, it’s real! Frontier Airlines created the GoWild! Pass to make spontaneous and affordable travel a reality. The excitement you see on social media is genuine – people are indeed booking incredible trips for very little in airfare. If you’re a GoWild! Pass holder, share your travel experiences online and inspire others to explore the world! Frontier appreciates you being part of the GoWild! community and looks forward to welcoming you onboard again soon!
Mobile App Limitations for GoWild! Bookings
Why can’t I book GoWild! tickets on the Frontier mobile app?
Currently, GoWild! flight search and booking are exclusively available on the FlyFrontier.com website.

While booking must be done online, you can still use the mobile app for convenient flight check-in, purchasing baggage, seat assignments, extras, and accessing your mobile boarding pass after you’ve booked your GoWild! flight online. Frontier is aware of a known issue with changing GoWild! bookings on the mobile app and advises users to disregard any error messages and manage bookings directly on FlyFrontier.com.

Understanding Pass Validity and Renewal
What are the travel periods for each GoWild! Pass?
Each GoWild! Pass type (Annual, Fall & Winter, Summer) has specific validity periods and may be subject to blackout dates as outlined in the program terms and conditions. Not all flights or dates within the eligible travel period will be available for GoWild! Pass booking. Here’s a quick overview:

Flight Disruptions and GoWild! Pass Bookings
What happens if a GoWild! flight is canceled or disrupted by Frontier?
Air travel with Frontier, including GoWild! Pass travel, is governed by Frontier’s Contract of Carriage and the GoWild! Pass Terms and Conditions. Frontier’s Customer Service Plan details how they handle both controllable and uncontrollable situations that may impact your travel plans. Rest assured, Frontier has policies in place to assist passengers in case of flight disruptions.
International Travel with GoWild! Pass
Can I book international flights with the GoWild! Pass?
Yes! The GoWild! Pass opens up international travel possibilities. International flights can be booked starting 10 days before departure. However, pass holders are responsible for meeting all international travel and immigration requirements. This includes having necessary travel documents, and providing proof of onward or return travel when required. Be aware that specific documentation may be needed for passengers under 18 traveling internationally, especially without both parents. Frontier’s policy states that children under 15 years old cannot travel unaccompanied. GoWild! Pass bookings are not valid for codeshare flights. Remember to factor in taxes, fees, and charges, which can vary significantly for international travel and can sometimes exceed $100 per person, per flight.
Understanding Taxes, Fees, and Charges
How much are taxes, fees, and charges per flight?
While your base fare is just $0.01 per segment, government and airport-imposed taxes, fees, and charges are applicable and are the pass holder’s responsibility. These are calculated based on regulations at the time of booking. Good news – GoWild! Pass tickets are exempt from the additional carrier interface charge. For domestic travel, current taxes, fees, and charges typically start around $14.90 per person, per flight. As mentioned earlier, international taxes, fees, and charges vary greatly and can be significantly higher.
Booking Round-Trip and Connecting Flights
Can I book round-trip flights with the GoWild! Pass?
Yes, but with the booking window in mind. Remember, domestic flights can be booked the day before departure, and international flights 10 days prior. For round-trip travel, you’ll need to book each leg separately within these booking windows. Book your outbound flight first, and then book your return flight when you are within the appropriate booking window for the return journey.
Can I use my GoWild! Pass for connecting flights?
Yes, connecting itineraries may be available depending on your origin, destination, flight schedules, and seat availability. All GoWild! Pass terms and conditions apply to connecting itineraries, including the booking window limitations and seat availability. Keep in mind that last seat availability is not guaranteed, even for connecting flights.
Changes, Cancellations, and No-Shows Revisited
What happens if I need to change or cancel a GoWild! Pass ticket after booking?
Once a GoWild! flight is booked and confirmed, standard change and cancellation fees and policies apply. Since GoWild! flights become available to book close to the departure date, carefully consider your travel plans before booking. If your plans change, cancel your booking as soon as possible to avoid potential penalties. Repeated no-shows or other violations of the GoWild! Pass terms and conditions can lead to financial penalties or pass revocation. Refer to Frontier’s Contract of Carriage and the GoWild! Pass Terms & Conditions for complete details on change, cancellation, and no-show policies.
GoWild! Pass for Minors
Can I buy a GoWild! Pass for someone under 18?
Yes, you can purchase a GoWild! Pass for a minor, subject to these conditions:
- You, the purchaser, must be 18 years or older.
- If enrolling a child under 13, you must be the parent or legal guardian and consent to their participation in the GoWild! Pass and Frontier Miles program.
- As the purchaser, you assume all responsibilities for the pass holder’s participation.
It’s important to remember that Frontier’s policy prohibits unaccompanied travel for children under 15 years old. They must be accompanied by a passenger who is at least 15 years old. Passengers 15 and older can travel unaccompanied. Age verification may be requested, and additional documentation may be needed for international travel for passengers under 18, especially if traveling without both parents.
