Unlimited MacArthur flights cost $199 with Frontier's GoWild! 2026 travel pass

Frontier Airlines is offering nearly seven months of unlimited flights for $199, and Long Islanders can fly it to three nonstop warm-weather destinations out of MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma.

The 2026 GoWild! Fall and Winter Pass covers unlimited flights across Frontier's network through Feb. 28, matching its lowest introductory price ever. Buyers get immediate access, so a pass bought today can be booked and flown the same day, rather than waiting for a set start date.

The pass lets travelers book domestic flights the day before departure, international flights up to 10 days ahead, and pay just 1 cent per flight in airfare, plus taxes and fees.

For Long Island travelers already paying more to reach Florida or the Carolinas this fall and winter, a flat $199 for unlimited flights is a meaningful hedge against a market where a single round trip can now cost more than the pass itself. The U.S. Travel Association’s July Travel Price Index shows travel costs have increased 29% since 2019.

Why now?

Frontier is sweetening the deal for a limited window. Travelers who buy the pass and book flights by 11:59 p.m. Monday unlock two added perks: access to travel on blackout dates for an early booking fee as low as $29, and dedicated seats reserved for pass holders on every domestic flight. Under the standard GoWild rules, pass holders fly standby-style, booking only one day ahead for domestic trips and paying a peak-day surcharge to travel on the busiest dates. The early booking window trades a small fee for the ability to plan a trip in advance.

Hidden costs

Bags, seat assignments and other extras are sold separately, and travel on the pass does not count toward elite status, though it does earn Frontier miles. Carry-on and checked bags cost $65 (one free personal item is included with your ticket) and seat assignments start at $18.  

Destinations from MacArthur

For a Long Islander with a flexible schedule, the deal means unlimited penny flights to Florida's Gulf and Atlantic coasts without a drive to Kennedy or LaGuardia airports. A pass holder could fly to Fort Myers for a long weekend, come home, then head to Orlando two weeks later, all on the same $199 pass.

Frontier's MacArthur Airport schedule currently includes nonstop service to three warm-weather and coastal markets within the pass' Feb. 28, 2027 window:

Destination: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Why it's worth the trip: Golf courses, boardwalk arcades and offseason beach weekends

Sample fare without the pass: $311 round trip Sept. 1 to 3  

Note flights are not currently available past Sept. 8.

Destination: Orlando, Florida

Why it's worth the trip: Theme parks and a longer fall or winter getaway for families, also a connecting hub to other destinations.

Sample fare without the pass: $326 round trip Sept. 18 to 20

Note flights are not currently available past Jan. 4.

Destination: Tampa, Florida

Why it's worth the trip: Gulf Coast beaches and a gateway to St. Petersburg and Clearwater.

Sample fare without the pass: $334 round trip Sept. 18 to 20

Note flights are not currently available past Nov. 19.

How to book

Frontier's GoWild Fall and Winter Pass is sold through FlyFrontier.com and requires a free Frontier Miles account to book flights. The pass includes access to more than 100 destinations across the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America, though the MacArthur route map is limited to the three nonstop cities above. Travelers connecting through other Frontier hubs, including Orlando or Philadelphia, can reach additional cities on the network.

The $199 introductory price and the blackout-free booking perk both expire Monday night. After that, standard GoWild rules and pricing apply at $399.
