Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about WildFares, how the search works, and what to expect before you book.

Last Updated: February 11, 2026

Basics

What is WildFares?+

WildFares is an independent search tool for Frontier flyers, built around GoWild-style trip planning. It helps you find routes, compare fare options, and jump to Frontier to book.

Is WildFares free?+

Yes. WildFares is free to use. There is no paid subscription tier.

Do I need an account?+

Yes. You need a verified account to access the full `/app` experience and run searches.

Is WildFares affiliated with Frontier?+

No. WildFares is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Frontier Airlines or the GoWild program.

Explore, Day Trip, Builder

What does Explore do?+

Explore helps you scan the network from an origin or toward an airport, with map/list views, sorting, and fare/weather filters.

What does Day Trip do?+

Day Trip finds same-day round-trip possibilities so you can depart and return the same day, useful for quick trips or mileage runs.

What does Route Builder do?+

Route Builder assembles multi-leg options when direct routes are not ideal. You can constrain layover time, total duration, stop count, and sort strategy.

How do weather filters work?+

Weather filters (like warm/no-rain) appear when forecast coverage is available. In-app logic currently supports weather filtering for near-term dates (about 16 days).

Can I use WildFares on mobile?+

Yes. The app supports mobile layout and includes an install banner so you can add it to your home screen as a web app.

Account, Limits, and Access

How many live searches do I get?+

Right now the live-search limit is 10 per day per account, and it resets at midnight ET. I am keeping it low for now because running the site costs more than I originally expected, and I need the next month or two to tune safe usage limits.

Why can I not access /app after registering?+

You need to verify your email first. After verification, login again and access will be granted.

Can I delete my account?+

Yes. Go to Settings and use the Delete Account option in the Danger Zone.

How do I resend my verification email?+

Use the verification flow page after signup. If you still have issues, contact david@wildfares.com from your account email.

Booking, Reliability, and Support

Does WildFares sell tickets?+

No. WildFares does not process payments or issue tickets. Booking buttons send you to Frontier checkout links.

Why did a result fail when I clicked book?+

Inventory can change quickly. A fare may disappear or reprice between search time and checkout time. Try another result or run a fresh live search.

Was WildFares offline before?+

Yes, there was downtime after upstream API behavior changed in late 2025. WildFares has since been repaired and relaunched with the current app stack.

How do I report bugs or suggest features?+

Send details to david@wildfares.com. Include your route/date, what you expected, and what happened.
