(Expired) Frontier Airlines One Day Sale: 100% off domestic flights using promo code BUYNOW

Ever said that you wouldn’t fly Frontier, even if they paid you? Well, Frontier Airlines is trying to test your resolve by offering a promo for those willing to actually fly on Frontier. You can get 100% off of non-stop travel within the continental US on Tuesdays/Wednesdays until 11/16/22 if you book today, 9/20/22.

There are a ton of conditions (as you might expect). Travel must be roundtrip, is restricted to non-stops, is valid Tuesday and Wednesday only and excludes multiple fare classes and some routes. Still, my assumption is that the seats that are on sale will go quickly given that they’re, uh, free. This doesn’t include any of Frontier’s myriad add-on costs, so you could end up paying more than nothing by having a carry-on, selecting a seat, drinking water, etc.

The Deal

• Get a 100% discount on non-stop, domestic Frontier Airlines flights until 11/16 using the promo code BUYNOW.
• Expires 11:59pm Eastern time on 9/20/22

Quick Thoughts

This could be a great deal for some folks who actually need round-trip, Tuesday/Wednesday travel before November on a non-stop route that isn’t excluded. The Frontier site is getting overloaded right now and is operating fairly slowly, but I couldn’t get any of the non-stops from Seattle to load appropriately (or maybe those routes are excluded from the sale).

The sale doesn’t include taxes, fees, carrier interface charge or the small universe of things that you have to pay for on Frontier, so in the end, it really won’t come with zero out of pocket cost.

That said, if you can travel light and find dates that work, getting domestic flights for just taxes and fees  may be worth the squeeze of having to fly Frontier. Let us know if you find any particularly good routes that actually work with the promo.
