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.
"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.
And I assume you still have to pay extra for a carry on bag and/or a checked bag?
Damn I think I may jump on this. Night flights will work just in time to getting back and forth to the west coast or NYC . I live in Atlanta and the airport is 20mins away.
For anyone looking for a great bag that fits in the personal item bin, the Aer Travel Pack 3 Small fits perfectly, assuming you don't have it stuffed -- if you can close it without any hassle and cinch the sides, you'll likely get asked to size it, but will find great joy in stuffing it in successfully, much to their dismay.
There are other more affordable bags, but this is what I use. Definitely worth the research, if you're looking to maximize your savings like I do.

Do you have a link? You can take one of these bags with the pass?

We just booked a flight to Florida in the springtime. The original departure time was 1:30pm. They just randomly changed the time to 7am. We'll have to leave to get to the airport by 4am now. I'm glad we weren't counting on that 1:30pm time!
This is the first flight we've ever booked with Frontier, and we're already not impressed.
I've had a couple of bad experiences with them. The baggage fee? Insane. You don't even know the damage until you're at the airport, and bam! They hit you with whatever they feel like charging. Add a toddler into the mix, and it was pure chaos. Never again!

in bad weather, these ultra low cost cancel all the times. these are last resort planes for a reason with no backup plans or planes.
