To avoid all fees, it requires you to book more than 180 days in advance to avoid all booking fees (for basic members without F9 credit card). Oh wait, 180 days from today (May 26) is November 22. Frontier is only taking reservations through October 26.
Luckily, I've emptied my account already....

You are correct, except for a small windows when the schedule is extended.
When I last posted this on April 20, they were accepting bookings through October 26. By my count that was 6 months and 6 days.
There is a solution,
Step 1: Book an award flight for the route you want that is more than 180 days out. (No booking fee.)
Step 2: Change the flight to the date that you actually want. (No change fee.)
I haven't been tracking Frontier schedule extensions but I'd expect another extension fairly soon.
Another poster called Frontier & reported the 180-day Catch-22 and was offered $50 voucher, which, after the $15 unwanted redemption fee, leaves
$35 towards to carry-on fees.
