About this podcast

Host and award travel strategist David Yates (The Frontier Flyer) calls Frontier Airlines one of his "travel secret weapons." David has held Diamond Elite status, an annual GoWild! Pass, and the Frontier Mastercard for the last three years. Join David weekly for insight into Frontier, tips and tricks on flying Frontier, and advice on maximizing your travel experience. David does not write about travel in theory. He books the flights, tracks the redemptions, and shows the math. Each episode covers what changed at Frontier, what it means for your travel, and what to do about it. What you'll hear on Frontier Flier Frontier news, decoded. New routes, schedule changes, fare sales, and program updates, with context on what actually affects you and what you can skip, as well as GoWild! Pass strategy, booking windows, blackout dates, Early Booking Fees, and how to build a travel calendar around a pass that rewards flexibility. David has three years of GoWild! data, and shares the patterns that repeat. Who listens: GoWild! pass holders who want to fly more and spend less. Frontier Miles members working toward status. Travelers who chose Frontier because the math made sense and want to make sure it continues to make sense. Anyone who has ever sat in a middle seat on a Tuesday because it was the only availability and wanted someone to explain why. David has taken more than 100 Frontier flights over the past three years. His Diamond Elite status covers bags and seat selection, which significantly changes the pass economics. He will tell you exactly what that costs, what it covers, and whether it pencils out for where you live and where you want to go. New episodes drop every week.
