Think you have to provide your own snacks, drinks, flotation devices and oxygen masks. Oh yeah, and hold your checked luggage in your lap during the flight. Sounds like a good deal.

I think sometimes you can’t book them until a certain number of days before and maybe some. Blackouts. If you are super flexible with your travel I think it’s awesome deal. Unfortunately it would be hard for me to use as I need to schedule more specific dates typically.

You’re missing that Frontier will make a crop duster look like the Concord.

I guess a problem would be if they don't fly out of your area and you would have to look at where they go. My prob with them would be catching the initial departing flights.

40% of the time you’ll sit on the Runway for 3 hours before the flight is canceled because the crew times out
25% of the time your flight will be canceled before boarding
20% of the time you’ll take off and then have to turn back to the airport because of some mechanical problem
15% of the time you’ll reach your destination on time

Look at the notes in the page you linked to see what you missed.
Like half the days of the year are blacked out. You cannot book flights until the day before travel for 99% of flights (if a flight is specifically designated a "GoWild" flight, you can book early, but then you pay separately for it). It's entirely based on availability, and you can't get the last seat. There is an unstated limit to how many "GoWild" members can go on any given flight. You cannot get standby on any ticket. You cannot book round trip at the time of departure. No refunds.
So let's break this down. You want to use your pass. You have to pick a date that is not blacked out. Then, you have to wait until the day before to see if your flight has unsold tickets. If it does not, you're out of luck (keep in mind that Frontier overbooks their flights and bumps the most passengers of any airline in the world). So you're most likely not going to get any popular destination to start with. Second, you need the airplane to have 2 or more unsold seats. If there's one unsold seat, you're out of luck. Then, no other Go-Wild pass holder can have booked your flight. If they're over that limit, you're out of luck. Let's say you pull all that off. You then have to do the exact same thing on the return flight. If you can't find a flight home from your destination on that day, you're out of luck, and have to pay for a whole new ticket. And because there's a limit on the number of GoWild tickets available on any flight, you're very unlikely to be able to travel with friends/family who also have passes.
You need to understand this isn't really a way for you to fly to popular locations during your vacation. This is just their way to fill up seats that were going to be empty and make some money doing it. This is really just for old people and people who work remotely who don't mind just traveling spur of the moment to some destination they'd never considered, and who don't mind making many stops on their way there. If you're fine leaving anytime you feel like, and then returning whenever you find an empty seat, you can make your money back. If you're like 99% of the population, then it will be a scam.
