Discount Den and the GoWild! Pass

Frontier sells two memberships that people mix up. One is all-you-can-fly, the other is a discount club, and they work together in a useful way.

Questions about Discount Den from Chicago.

What is Discount Den?

It's Frontier's paid fare club: an annual membership that unlocks a cheaper fare tier on regular bookings, on any date you can normally book. It's separate from the GoWild! Pass. Our guide GoWild! vs Discount Den covers how the two fit together.

How much did Discount Den save from Chicago?

What was the lowest Discount Den fare from Chicago?

$63 one way to Fort Lauderdale, booked 0 to 2 days out, since Oct 27. Atlanta's lowest was $82 and Dallas/Fort Worth's $102. Every route's lowest is in the table above.

Should I get Discount Den if I have the GoWild! Pass?

Only if you also pay for flights. The pass covers trips when its seats are open; Discount Den lowers the fare on the trips you pay for, like blackout dates, must-travel days and trips you book well ahead. If most of your flying rides the pass, the savings above may not cover the fee. GoWild! vs Discount Den has the full picture.
