Picking a vacation destination is always a tough choice.
Frontier Airlines is making it easier for a limited time by offering a deal to fly to as many destinations as possible.
Also, the airline is adding 10 new flights out of Philadelphia.
The inclusive deal is aptly named GoWild!
The All-You-Can-Fly Summer Pass is now on sale for $399 for a limited time. The GoWild! Summer Pass offers pass holders access to unlimited flights between Frontier's U.S. and international destinations from May 1 through September 30.
"For only $399, GoWild! Summer pass holders can unlock a summer of endless travel possibilities at an unbeatable value," said James Fenner, vice president of pricing and revenue management at Frontier Airlines. "Thousands of GoWild! pass holders are enjoying spontaneous, affordable travel to destinations across the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America," Fenner continued. "The GoWild! Summer Pass is a great fit and gift for anyone with flexibility in their travel plans, including students and new graduates, teachers, families, retirees, and remote workers.”
Further, GoWild! bookings can be confirmed the day before flight departure for domestic travel and 10 days before flight departure for international travel. For each flight, pass holders pay $0.01 in airfare plus applicable taxes, fees and charges at the time of booking. Passholders can now also plan ahead and book select flights early in advance of the standard booking window for travel during the period in which their pass is valid. An early booking charge may apply. Seats available to pass holders are capacity-controlled, limited in quantity, and offered on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
It certainly will be easier to catch a flight out of Philadelphia, that's for sure.
Frontier is adding 10 new nonstop destinations out of Philadelphia International Airport.
Frontier will now fly from the city of Brotherly Love to Pittsburgh (PIT), Minneapolis (MSP), Knoxville (TYS), Portland, Maine (PWM), Milwaukee (MKE), Detroit (DTW), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Indianapolis (IND), Columbus (CMH), St. Louis (STL), Kansas City (MCI) and Pensacola (PNS).
“From the Midwest to the East Coast and from Maine to Florida, these new routes span much of the country and represent our continued commitment to growth from PHL,” Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle said in a news release. “In fact, PHL will see the second largest increase in daily departures on Frontier this summer among our major operational bases.”
Frontier will now have 44 daily departures from Philadelphia.

Frontier Airlines is making some big adjustments to its network.
Spirit Airlines has announced plans to suspend operations at New Hampshire's Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) on May 8, according to Boston.com.The budget carrier said the decision is due to "ongoing operational constraints related to Pratt & Whitney GTF engine availability and seasonal demand for our MHT flights.""This decision reflects our continuing efforts to make necessary strategic shifts to enable Spirit to compete effectively in the current environment," Spirit added. "We apologize to our guests for any inconvenience, and those with reservations for May 8 or later will be offered a refund. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is a great partner, and we look forward to returning with seasonal service next winter."Spirit operates nonstop flights to Orlando and seasonal service to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina from MHT. According to Reuters, the airline is the largest domestic operator of GTF-powered (geared turbofan) NEO aircraft and has been battling engine issues since last summer."MHT is grateful to Spirit Airlines for their service to the Manchester community for the last few years," the airport said in a statement. "We understand that difficult decisions have to be made in light of the Pratt and Whitney engine issue. It is important to note that this is a pause in service, not a withdrawal in service. MHT stands ready to warmly welcome Spirit back to the Manchester market when the time is right for them."
Checking a bag when flying with several U.S. airlines is, once again, getting more expensive. It’s been about five years since the major full-service U.S. carriers collectively raised checked bag fees to $30 and $40 for the first and second checked bags, respectively. Now, some airlines are back at it, making it costlier for passengers to access the plane’s cargo hold.
Travelers will have more flight options to visit Japan this summer.Announced Thursday, American Airlines will launch a new flight route between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on June 28. The new route makes American the only U.S.
Flying to the land down under just got easier. Delta Air Lines is launching brand-new service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Brisbane Airport (BNE) in Australia, the carrier announced Friday.

Imagine taking off for a vacation, and having no idea exactly where you are going. Scandinavian Airlines, a Sweden-based carrier, commonly known as SAS Airlines, offered just that, by recently introducing a special mystery flight called “Destination Unknown.” SAS sold tickets for the flight exclusively to members of the airline’s frequent flyer loyalty program, EuroBonus. Instead of money, travelers needed to redeem 30,000 miles for a seat. The trip will depart from Copenhagen on April 5 and return back to Copenhagen on April 8. Travelers are only provided a clue that the flight will last “a few hours”, and the exact location of the destination will be revealed at some point during the flight through an announcement. “The prospect of embarking on an adventurous and mysterious journey with fellow enthusiasts, finding new connections and friendships along the way, is truly exciting,” SAS’s Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Vice President Paul Verhagen said in the news release. Over 1,000 people submitted interest in joining the flight, and the airline is no longer accepting reservations, a spokesperson shared with Travel + Leisure. Due to the limited quantity of seats on the plane, tickets for the April trip will be distributed randomly to the travelers who signed up. SAS operates flights around the world to 125 destinations, and currently has flights from the US (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco, and Washington) to destinations in Scandinavia and across Europe. The concept of “surprise” travel has taken off as travelers seek new experiences. Lufthansa, a German airline, offers a program called ‘Lufthansa Surprise’ where travelers select their home airport, and a general theme of what type of vacation they want (such as arts, outdoors, or shopping). Once the trip is paid and ticketed, the airline reveals the destination to the traveler. The surprise bookings cannot be changed or canceled, and the 24-hour flexible booking policy also does not apply.
United Airlines is bringing more adventure to travelers, with an additional 100+ flights being added to the summer flight schedule. Flyers can visit more destinations across the United States and Canada, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy a picturesque outdoor adventure.
