Questions, answered
The short version of everything people ask about WildAF, the GoWild pass, and Pro.
What is WildAF.travel?
WildAF is a fare radar for Frontier's GoWild all-you-can-fly pass. It shows GoWild fares next to Standard and Discount Den cash fares for any route, estimates how full each flight is, and can watch fares and alert you when prices drop. It grew out of a pass holder wanting a faster way to answer one question: where can I fly tomorrow for almost nothing?
Is WildAF affiliated with Frontier Airlines?
No. WildAF is an independent tool with no affiliation to Frontier Airlines. Fares and seat data come from Frontier's public booking site and can change at any time — always verify in the Frontier app or website before booking. Booking itself always happens on Frontier's site, never on WildAF.
How fresh is the fare data?
Fares come live from Frontier's public booking system, with short caching: near-term dates refresh about every 5 minutes, dates further out are cached longer since they change less. Popular routes are re-checked automatically in the background so results load instantly.
Why don't I see a GoWild fare on my date?
Three possibilities. First, the booking window: GoWild fares for domestic flights only open the day before departure (about 10 days out for international) — earlier dates show cash fares only, unless a GoWild sale has opened the window early. Second, blackout dates: the pass can't fly on those days at all, and WildAF flags them. Third, the flight may simply be too full — GoWild seats are capacity-controlled per flight.
What are GoWild blackout dates?
Days when the GoWild pass can't be used to fly at all, clustered around peak holidays like Thanksgiving, late December, and July 4th. WildAF flags them in search results and on date tiles, and shows cash prices for those days instead. The full month-by-month list is on the GoWild guide page.
What does the flight fullness gauge mean?
It's an estimate of how full a flight is, derived from the bookable-seat counts Frontier publishes per fare class. An emptier plane is a safer GoWild bet, since pass seats are released based on unsold capacity. Treat it as a signal, not a guarantee — availability can change minute to minute.
What's free and what's Pro?
Anyone can run 1 search a day; a free account raises that to 6. Pro ($4.99/month) is unlimited searches plus the power tools: fare-watch alerts by email or browser notification, Anywhere scans of every destination from your airport, the Weekender trip finder, and the month-view fare calendar.
How do fare alerts notify me?
Your choice per watch: email, browser push notification, or both. Watches are checked server-side about every 10 minutes, so alerts arrive whether or not the site is open.
Can I pause my Pro subscription instead of canceling?
Yes — from your account page you can pause for 1 to 3 months, for example if you're not traveling this month. Billing stops during the pause and resumes automatically, along with your Pro features. Canceling outright is always available too, and your active fare watches keep running until they expire.
What is Discount Den, and do I need it if I have GoWild?
Discount Den is Frontier's separate paid annual membership that unlocks a cheaper cash-fare tier — the violet prices on WildAF. If you're a solo, flexible GoWild flyer it's usually redundant; it earns its keep on blackout days, booked-ahead dates, and for travel companions on your booking. Our Discount Den page has the full breakdown.
I found a bug — is there really a reward?
Yes: every confirmed bug report earns a free month of Pro, no limit. Report it from the Report page or the flag button on search results — a screenshot and a sentence about what you expected speeds up confirmation.
