If you’re a frequent flyer looking to save money on travel, Frontier Airlines has cut the cost of its unlimited summer travel pass to $499. That’s a $500 saving on the regular price. But is there a catch?
The GoWild! summer pass normally costs $999, and the airline had already lowered its price, in April, to $699, giving customers a $300 saving. And now Frontier has decided to drop the price further to $499 — that's a huge 50% off the original price.
The summer pass lets travelers book an unlimited number of flights from now to September 30, 2023, to more than 75 destinations in the U.S. and popular vacation destinations like Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

But you'll need to be quick, this deal is only around until May 31 (or while stocks last). If you miss out, you can still buy an annual GoWild! Pass, but this costs $1,999, nowhere near such a good deal.
