Basics

What Wilders is.

What is Wilders?

Wilders is a fare-search and trip-planning tool for Frontier GoWild passholders. It scans public Frontier fare pages and lays GoWild prices beside Discount Den and standard fares so you can see where the pass can actually take you before you open checkout.

Is Wilders free? Do I need an account?

Yes. Wilders has no accounts, no sign-up, and no login wall. The core fare board, route map, journey search, and trip builder are all free to use on-device.

Is Wilders affiliated with Frontier or the GoWild program?

No. Wilders is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Frontier Airlines, Inc. or the GoWild! Pass program. "Frontier," "GoWild," and related names and marks are the property of their respective owners. We reference them only to describe publicly available fares.

Does Wilders book flights or sell tickets?

No. Wilders is an information tool only. It does not sell, issue, hold, or confirm airline tickets. Every booking link sends you to Frontier's own checkout, where Frontier controls the final price, taxes, fees, and rules.

Fares, cache & refresh

What you're looking at.

What fare types can I see?

Every tab has the same GoWild / Discount Den / Standard chips at the top. Tick one or more to show that fare type side by side, so you can compare what the pass actually saves you against booking normally.

How fresh are the numbers, and how do I force a live refresh?

Wilders caches fare results on-device for up to 15 minutes so repeat searches feel instant. Anything older than that is automatically treated as stale and re-fetched live the next time you search. To pull a live number sooner — for example right before booking — tap the ↻ Refresh button next to the main search button on any tab; it ignores the cache and re-checks Frontier directly.

Are the prices guaranteed?

No. Seats and pricing on GoWild fares move quickly, sometimes within minutes. Wilders shows what Frontier's pages returned at scan time — always confirm the final price and seat availability on Frontier before you rely on a fare.

What does the Stop button do, and what are "live results"?

On the fare board, Journey, and Trip builder, the main search button itself turns into a Stop control while a search is running — tap it again to cancel. Stopping keeps whatever results already loaded on screen instead of discarding them, since all three tabs fill in destinations, dates, or legs as each one comes back rather than waiting for the entire search to finish.

Fare board tab

Every destination, one airport, day by day.

What does the Fare board tab do?

Pick a "From" airport, a start date, and a number of days (1–10), then tap Scan fares. Wilders checks every route Frontier flies from that airport across those days and lays the cheapest fare for each fare type beside every destination.

How does the day accordion work?

Results are grouped one day at a time. Tap a day to expand it and see that day's destinations and prices; opening a different day collapses the previous one, so the board stays focused instead of showing every date at once.

What can I filter, sort, or toggle on the fare board?

Use Filter to search by city or airport code, Nonstop only to hide connections, and Sort to order destinations by cheapest GoWild, cheapest standard, or alphabetically. Typing an airport in "From" also surfaces nearby-airport chips so you can switch origins without retyping.

Route map tab

See the network, then scan a hub.

What does the Route map tab do?

It draws Frontier's route network on a map. Pick an airport to light up every route flown from it; scanning that hub fills in the GoWild (or Discount Den / Standard) fare beside each destination line, so you can see where a hub actually connects before you commit to a fare-board scan.

Is the route map the same data as the fare board?

It draws from the same fare-type chips and the same underlying scan, just visualized as a map instead of a list — useful for spotting which hubs open up the most destinations rather than comparing exact prices day by day.

Trip builder tab

Plan a specific multi-leg trip.

What does the Trip builder tab do?

It lets you assemble a trip leg by leg — add as many legs as you need, set a minimum connection time, and tap Show flights to see priced options for every leg at once.

What do "+ add leg" and "⇄ reverse trip" do?

+ add leg appends another flight segment to the chain. ⇄ reverse trip flips the whole itinerary front-to-back, which is the fast way to price the return trip after you've already built the outbound one.

How does Trip builder handle tight connections?

Set your Min connect time (45 min to 2 h), and any flight combination that doesn't leave enough time between legs dims automatically. Wilders pre-picks the cheapest complete chain that still respects your minimum connection time, and you can re-sort flights by departure time, fare, or duration.

Journey tab

Flexible dates, direct or self-connect.

What does the Journey tab do?

Set a From airport, a To airport, a Leave from date, and an Arrive by date, then tap Find cheapest journey. Wilders checks every direct flight in that window plus useful self-connects, and ranks every booking plan by total fare.

Why is there a minimum gap between Leave from and Arrive by?

Journey enforces at least a 1-day gap between those two dates so the search has a real window to compare fares across. Same-day round trips aren't what Journey is built to rank — use the fare board for that instead.

What are the nearby-airport chips under From and To?

After you type an airport, Wilders shows nearby airports as quick-pick chips. Tick the ones you'd also fly from, or accept landing at, to widen the search beyond a single origin or destination.

What do Min connect, Max wait at stop, and Connector search control?

Min connect sets the shortest layover Wilders will accept on a connecting itinerary. Max wait at stop caps how long a layover (including an overnight self-connect) can be before it's excluded. Connector search controls how many hub airports Wilders checks for self-connect possibilities — Normal (10 hubs) is fastest, Wide (25) and Max (50) dig deeper but take longer.

What does a self-connect mean, and is it risky?

A self-connect is two separate one-way bookings instead of a single connecting itinerary. It can open up routes or prices Frontier doesn't show directly, but each leg is a separate ticket with no airline protection if one flight is delayed or cancelled — you take on that risk if you book one.

Saved & price alerts

Keep trips, watch fares, get pinged.

What does the Saved tab do?

It keeps the trips and routes you care about in one place. On the Fare board, Trip builder, or Journey tab, open any flight or journey and tap Save trip to star it, or Watch price to track a route. The Saved tab lists your watched routes up top and your starred trips below — all stored on-device, no account.

How do saved trips work?

A saved trip is a snapshot of an itinerary — the route, date, and the fares at the time you saved it. From the Saved tab you can re-check the live price (it shows how much it has moved up or down since you saved), open the full ticket details, jump to Frontier to book, or re-open it in the Trip builder.

How do price watches and alerts work?

When you watch a route, Wilders re-checks its fares and tells you when a GoWild fare appears, drops, or falls under an optional target price you set. You'll see an in-app alert immediately, and — if you allow notifications — a notification on your phone.

What is the "Daily fare check," and how often does Wilders check?

To avoid constant battery- and data-draining polling, Wilders does not check every minute. You pick one time a day in the Saved tab to be reminded; on a device that posts a daily reminder at your chosen time. Beyond that, watched routes refresh whenever you open the app and at most about once an hour while it's open.

Will I get a notification when the app is closed?

Yes, in two ways. You always get the daily reminder at your chosen time. And on a phone, Wilders also runs a quick background check a few times a day — when it finds a fare that appeared, dropped, or hit your target, it posts a live notification even though the app is closed. Two honest caveats: iOS decides exactly when those background checks happen (usually not instant, and it can take a day or two to settle in), and nothing runs while the app is force-quit (swiped away). For the most current price, open the app — it refreshes immediately. Tapping a notification opens the Saved tab and refreshes your watches.

Can I share a saved trip?

Yes. On the Saved tab, tap Share on any saved trip. Wilders opens your device's share sheet with the Frontier booking link — every leg's link for a multi-ticket trip — to send by message, email, or any app, or to copy. The link opens Frontier's own booking page.

How do I turn alerts off?

Turn off the notify toggle on an individual watch, switch off Daily fare check, remove a watch, or disable notifications for Wilders in your device settings. Notifications are opt-in and fully under your control.
