Any GoWild users in Wisconsin?
I've been eyeing up the pass (I just learned it exists), but I've been trying to do some "what-if" type research to see if I can actually see same day or next day trips with the $0.01 fares and I'm struggling with it. MKE airport I can sometimes find flights but seem to always be stuck with overnight layovers. MSN I'm struggling to even find flights out. GRB lost Frontier completely a while back. I'm wondering if anybody from WI actually is getting use out of this pass and how they're doing it.

I think at the very least it's going to take some work to make use of the pass. I hope you like solving puzzles. There might be ways around the overnight layovers because Frontier's IT does not allow two stop trips unless there is no plane change. So you need to self-construct two bookings for a one way and assume all the risks of doing that. Look for the first one stop trip to end by 4pm or 5pm so you can have a second onward booking end on the same day. For some of us, this IT limitation makes the pass viable because hardly anyone will do the work or pay for a 3rd party monthly subscription that makes this puzzle faster to solve.

Last year I signed up myself and my UW collegian for the status match. And got my moneysworth on a single RT to Madison.
That said I do not think I will sign up for DealDen, GoWild, StatusMatch etc. as Frontier just does not have sufficient schedule frequency to Wisconsin. Service to Madison is not daily, and the connections timing in DEN is horrendous, at least inbound to MSN.
It is a shame as the legacy carriers charge a fortune to MSN. Thankfully WN flies to MKE which helps keep the fares in check, but I am tired of the drive to Madison.

The replies here are pretty much what I'm finding too. I really wanted the product to work, because even as described I could have rocked the last minute weekend trip somewhere idea, but it just seems infeasible in WI right now.
