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
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
