Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines recently launched a brand-new monthly “all-you-can-fly” pass that promises customers unlimited flights for 30 days for just $149.
Seems like a dream come true, the opportunity to fly as much as you want for an amount that would not even buy you a one-way ticket on most airlines.
So, what’s the catch? There is some fine print to be aware of, as well as several stipulations that make the pass more useful for some folks than others.
The cost of the pass is $149, but there’s also a $99 sign-up fee.
However, this fee is currently being waived on Frontier’s website. Act now and you can bypass it; wait a while, and you can expect to pay it.
The pass is an extension/addition to a collection of all-you-can-fly passes that include fall, winter, summer, and annual.
You can buy a seasonal all-you-can-fly pass for fall/winter or summer, or an annual pass. You can see the different options here.
Frontier says its monthly option is designed so customers can try out the all-you-can-fly option before potentially upgrading to a seasonal or annual pass.
Domestic flights can only be booked 24 hours in advance.
This applies to all the above passes and is one of the most significant “catches” of the program. Domestic flights can only be booked within 24 hours of departure, which obviously affects flight and seat availability. It also requires a high level of flexibility when planning travel since you will not be able to book your return flight until 24 hours prior - aka, you cannot book a roundtrip ticket.
International flights can be booked starting 10 days before departure.
This is also true for all passes above for Frontier’s international destinations, which include Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. This policy is a little more forgiving in that you will be able to book a roundtrip flight if both of your flights are within the next ten days.
Who would these passes be great for?
Anyone with a flexible schedule and a cool head should be able to gain value from the passes, especially retirees, students, and remote workers.
Life situations can also come into play: Two people in a long distance relationship may be able to gain lots of value from an all-you-can-fly pass, for example, when going back and forth between two cities a couple times a month.
What’s some advice for planning a trip with these passes?
Booking flights with these passes will require flexibility in travel planning. It will also impact your ability to book rental cars in advance, since there’s a chance flights will be sold out once your 24-hour window opens.
My advice would be to book rental cars with favorable cancellation policies, of course, but a better idea would be to plan trips that

My Instagram feed is full of couples getting engaged at swoon-worthy spots across the globe, from Rome's Trevi Fountain to candlelit beaches in Mexico.
Another summer, another quest for the ideal pair of men's sandals for my feet to don. I rarely wear anything open-toed when in New York City, where I live, on account of the filth. But, travel being my vocation, I often get the opportunity to let my hooves breathe in warmer climes. Having failed to find anything that really made my heart sing last year, I entered this season uncertain. My trusty, functional Tevas remained perfect for the beach and in most casual settings, but could it be that I would go on without something sleeker, more chic? Would I ever be able to wear a sandal, I wondered, out to a nice dinner?

These days, Babba Rivera is practically synonymous with her haircare line Ceremonia.

In that way, the line between work and personal life is always blurry—something she was reminded of when she recently spent a month working from Mexico City.
Love and marriage may be the ultimate gift, but just beyond those cherished vows and celebratory toasts comes the unforgettable honeymoon.

For LGBTQ+ couples, planning a romantic honeymoon comes with familiar choices—beach or city, resort or B&B, adventure or light recreation—plus considerations about feeling welcome as well as safe.
