Airfare usually takes up a big chunk of a vacation budget, but did you know some airlines offer an unlimited flight pass? This can be an especially intriguing option for those planning quite a bit of travel — while there are plenty of ways to find cheap flights, the cost of multiple trips in a year can quickly add up. But are these all-you-can-fly passes worth the upfront cost? Find out more about the best flight passes and how much they cost.
Frontier Airlines

In 2023, Frontier Airlines launched its GoWild! All-You-Can-Fly Pass. Those who purchase the pass can enjoy unlimited flights to any domestic or international destination the airline flies to. Before purchasing, be sure to check the airline’s extensive list of fees — but if you’re flexible and travel light, the potential savings with Frontier’s GoWild! Pass can be substantial.
Pros
• For each flight you take, you’ll pay a fare of just $0.01 plus taxes and fees.
• The GoWild! Pass features several options and price points. Monthly passes are available starting at $149, passes valid for only summer travel cost $499, and annual passes will set you back $599. (Prices accurate at time of publish in mid-2025.)
• The airline also frequently runs limited-time specials with lower pricing for new members.
Cons
• Pass bookings can only be confirmed last-minute — one day before domestic departures and up to 10 days before international flights — which limits the appeal to travelers who can be spontaneous.
• There are other restrictions: Some blackout dates apply, availability on some routes may be limited, and extra fees may apply for bookings outside the one- or 10-day window.
• Because it’s a budget airline, Frontier charges extra for both carry-on and checked bags, as well as things like seat assignments or even printing your boarding pass at the airport.
Alaska Airlines

Based in Seattle, Alaska Airlines has an extensive route network on the West Coast. If you fly around Arizona, California, Nevada, or Utah frequently, then the airline’s Flight Pass may be worth the investment.
Pros
• Unlike Frontier’s subscription, Alaska’s pass doesn’t offer truly unlimited flights. There are options for six, 12, or 24 flights in a year — but that should still appeal to the majority of travelers.
• Alaska offers free seat assignments, and there are no change fees or blackout dates.
• The pricing is attractive: Passes start at $49 for six Alaska flights in a year (one roundtrip every two months), $99 for 12 flights (one roundtrip flight per month), and $189 for 24 trips (two flights a month).
Cons
• The pass is valid only for flights between 15 destinations in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah, so you’ll want to check those carefully and see if it makes sense for you.
• You’ll receive a set number of credits that must be redeemed for flights before the end of the month (though travel can take place up to 90 days after you book a trip).
Southwest Airlines (Companion Pass)

Southwest’s Companion Pass works a bit differently than the other passes on this list since it’s essentially a two-for-one pass — but it can unlock incredible value for two people traveling together.
Pros
• If you fly Southwest frequently, there’s no question the pass is worth it. Once you qualify, the Companion Pass is valid for the rest of the calendar year and the year after that.
• Once you choose your companion, they can fly with you to any of Southwest’s 120-plus destinations for just the cost of taxes and fees (starting at $5.60 one way).
• There are no blackout dates, and you can even change your companion up to three times in a calendar year.
Cons
• It’s a bit harder to obtain Southwest’s unlimited flight pass — typically, you’ll have to fly 100 qualifying flights on Southwest in a calendar year or earn 135,000 points (which include both flights and credit card purchases).
• However, one of the easiest ways to qualify is by keeping an eye out for the airline’s credit card promotions. Southwest frequently offers a bonus that includes a Companion Pass to those who sign up for one of its credit cards and meet the spending requirements and pay the annual fee.
Wizz Air

If you’re planning frequent travel in Europe, the All You Can Fly Pass from low-cost airline Wizz Air may be an appealing option. The pass costs 600 euros per year (about $675 USD) and each segment you fly will cost an additional 10 euros, paid separately.
Pros
• The pass includes unlimited flights (up to three per day) for a year, which will allow you to easily jet between Europe’s most popular cities.
• It’s good for anywhere Wizz Air flies (except Italian domestic flights). The Budapest-based airline flies over 950 routes to nearly 200 destinations, primarily in Europe but also in North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
Cons
• Similar to Frontier’s pass, travel can only be booked last-minute — no earlier than 72 hours before your flight is scheduled to depart. So, using the pass will require a bit of flexibility and spontaneity.
• Wizz is a budget carrier, so the pass only includes your base fare. Additional services, like seat selection, carry-on and checked baggage, and in-flight food and beverages, will cost extra.
• Not all flights will have availability to book with the All You Can Fly Pass, and flights must be booked as one-way segments.
• The pass renews automatically every 12 months, so be sure to cancel if you no longer need it.
Air Canada and Porter Airlines

Fly to Canada frequently? While these Canadian carriers don’t offer all-you-can-fly passes, they do offer packages of prepaid flight credits that can be used within specific travel zones of your choosing.
Porter Airlines — which recently launched flights from Montreal and Toronto to U.S. destinations including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Orlando — offers what it calls the Porter Pass. Travelers can choose between 10, 20, 50, and 100 flight credits (valid for 365 days from date of purchase). Most packages are transferable, so you can also share them with others. You must sign up for the carrier’s frequent flier program to be eligible, and purchases will be made in Canadian dollars.
Air Canada’s Flight Pass works similarly — you must first choose a zone of travel (such as Canada to the U.S.) and a set number of flight credits. The program also offers an option for unlimited travel for a year. However, you must technically be a Canadian resident and a member of the airline’s frequent flier program to purchase.
