I am thrilled for anyone who wants and gets this promo. Personally, and I am not alone, I cannot trust Frontier and other LCC if I really need to get somewhere, like a business trip. Or even a leisure trip where I have reserved and prepaid a hotel stay.
Multiple times in the last several years I have had cancelled flights. As far as what I know, they are only obligated to give you a refund of fare paid or get you on the next available flight that they alone have. In 2 of my experiences the next available was more than 24 hours away, so in each case I bought a full fare ticket on another carrier to get to my destination. I am sure others have had great experiences.
Do not get me wrong, if I have lots of leisure time I enjoy capturing a $19 fare! But to fly them consistently, even for free--not for me. For many others, once again---GO FOR IT
As another data point, I've taken about 15 flights this year on the pass. No flight cancellations. I think I've only ever connected once and it was fine. I plan on buying it again, especially at $299.
They have very few flights per day (1-2) so if anything happens to that flight then you're probably stranded for at least 24 hours or booking on another airline. You can't speak to a human, including the ones at the airport, without challenges or costs. They are extremely strict on baggage sizes. If your whole bag doesn't fit completely in their bag checker then there are fees charged. Their flight times aren't consistent (that same flight might be at a different time on different days). The GoWild availability is not always available or for a low price. They treat you just slightly better than their employees traveling using a similar program.
Also, I can't travel 1000 miles for $16 in 2 hours any other way. If it works it works, but, for many, it won't.

It's a great deal for people who have pure freedom of time and nobody to take care of. Just hop on, and go.

plus applicable taxes, fees, and charges - This would probably be around $599 per ticket. And baggage is not mentioned.. carrying a wallet would be $99 and so on and so forth

Looks like you'll have to have or buy a small Frontier approved backpack for $22 on Amazon. Otherwise I think it's $57 for a carry-on that's too large. Can't confirm domestic until day before could be a problem. Also, seems some of my vacation routes to the Caribbean have LONG flight times over a day. I guess a couple of trips would make it worthwhile. Thanks for the post, OP. I never knew a reasonable cost subscription model existed on flights.

Takeoff Luggage Fits in Spirit AND Frontier Sizers at the airport and they go on sale for 20% off quite often (right now actually using code TAKEOFF20) https://takeoffluggage.com/produc...itcase-2-0
I am in Panglao Philippines right now with my Takeoff 2.0 suitcase

I use a cheap synthetic fabric duffel that holds other bags, like a laptop, toiletry, and shoe bag, that can be squished in to the bag checker and removed when I get on the plane.
Also, you can get the Frontier Mastercard that provides 2 free *checked* bags per flight.
You can confirm GoWild seats weeks or months before flight dates. I just double checked to confirm. Maybe more seats becomes available within the window but that has not been my experience.

How much is applicable taxes, fees, and charges per flight additionally
The airline may not exist by May 1, 2025. No one will give your money back.
Source?
A quick search says they are planning to add rows of first class seats in 2025. And they failed to merge with Spirit and Spirit is in bankruptcy trouble. Would be helpful to know before we buy another year.

"For each flight, you'll pay $0.01 in airfare plus applicable taxes, fees, and charges at the time of booking." So the price you see when you search are those "applicable taxes, fees, and charges."
I would mention you have to go through about 5 screens of denying extra charges (bags, self-service, insurance,etc.) but that quoted price on the search page is the total price.
Added a screenshot as an example. That flight is listed at $39 on the search page. Actual price $38.96 charged to credit card.

When does this actually open for purchase. I can't see any dates on the page.
"Only 5,000 passes will drop at the lowest price ever, only $299*! After they are gone, the price will be $499."
This was only a signup to potentially get it at the lower rate. The annual pass starts in May and go on sale Jan-Feb IIRC.
