Why we built FlyGoWild
We're four software developers and avid gowilders who got tired of the existing tools and decided to build something better.
Some of them were fine. But they all had issues: slow search times, inaccurate results, a thin feature set, a clunky UI, or just no real community behind them. So we built what we actually wanted, got feedback from other GoWild friends along the way, and FlyGoWild is what came out of it.
This isn't a product built by people who looked at GoWild from the outside. We're pass holders who got annoyed and wrote code.
The problem with hunting GoWild seats
If you have the Frontier GoWild Pass, you already know the catch: the pass is cheap, but the seats are the hard part. GoWild availability is released close to departure and disappears fast. Frontier's own site only lets you check one route, on one date, at a time, and it never tells you how many seats are actually left.
So you end up refreshing the same page over and over, guessing at dates, and finding out a seat was there only after it's gone. The pass is only as good as your ability to find the seats. That's the part nobody was solving well.
What we built instead
The fastest GoWild search out there. We'll just say it. We're talking a few seconds to scan hundreds of routes at once. Put us side by side with another tool and you'll see it immediately.
Real seat counts. We show exactly how many seats are left on every flight, up to 20, so you know what you're walking into before you commit, not after.
Filters that respect your time. Sort and filter by fare type (Standard, Discount Den, GoWild), price, and time of day, so you're never digging through results that don't apply to you.
And we covered every way you might want to hunt:
- Everywhere Search: every Frontier destination from your home airport at once (or flip it to see every airport that flies to you), with live weather for each city so you know what you're flying into.
- Day Tripper: pick a date and your home airport, and we surface every viable same-day round trip. Perfect for making the most of a free day.
- Route Finder: routes Frontier's own site won't show you, mapped out across one- and two-stop connections, for when you really need to get somewhere.
- Calendar Mode: the next 30, 60, 90, or 120 days in one search, with full flight detail on every result.
- Multi-Window Search (beta): stack multiple dates into a single search in any mode, so a long weekend is one search instead of three.
Alerts that actually matter
When GoWild seats are involved, being first wins. Set an alert on a specific flight or a whole route and we'll tell you the moment something drops: by app push notification, Discord message, or email, your call.
We're building a community, not just a tool
We didn't want to ship a tool and disappear. We started a Discord and we're in it every day. The server is wired into FlyGoWild, so you can run searches, set alerts, and manage everything through the bot without opening the site, but the real point is a place to swap tips, share trip recaps, post plane photos, and talk best hunts with people who actually get it.
Why a web app, not a native app
We debated this one for a long time, and we went with a web app on purpose. You install it from Safari by adding it to your home screen, and it's built to feel and behave like a native app once you launch it. No App Store in the way, which, it turns out, matters a lot for some of the features we've got coming.
What's next
We're software developers, so this means daily improvements, fast bug fixes, and community feedback we actually act on. On the roadmap: booking directly through FlyGoWild with saved passenger info (and AutoBook straight from your alerts), auto check-in, a full map view of routes, and an AI assistant you can just text to search, set alerts, and book.
The short version: the GoWild Pass is one of the best deals in travel, but only if you can actually find the seats. That's the whole reason we built this.
