Good morning. Before you buy an “all-you-can-fly” pass, there’s one question worth asking: will you actually fly enough to make it a deal? Frontier’s $249 GoWild Pass sounds impressive—but the value depends heavily on how flexible you are.

Is Frontier’s $249 GoWild Pass Actually Worth It?
Frontier is having an all-you-can-fly sale right now. For $249, its GoWild Fall & Winter Pass gives you nearly unlimited flights across Frontier’s network through February 2027.
The idea is simple: buy the pass, then book eligible flights for 1 cent per flight leg, plus government taxes and fees. You get one personal item, but checked bags, larger carry-ons and some seat selections cost extra.
So, is it worth $249?
It depends on how you travel.
The pass makes the most sense for people who are flexible with dates, destinations and flight times. If you live near a Frontier airport and can turn a long weekend into a quick getaway, taking several trips could make the pass pay for itself.
It’s a much weaker deal if you’re planning one vacation, need specific flights or want to travel with guaranteed seats and fewer restrictions.
Before buying, look at Frontier’s routes from your airport and ask yourself one question: Can I realistically take three or four trips with this?
If yes, the math could work. If not, a regular Frontier fare may be the smarter buy.
THE SMARTER TAKE: The value isn’t in flying “unlimited.” It’s in being flexible enough to actually use it.
This Isn't Just Another Patio Cover
There's always one backyard on the street everyone talks about. This time, make it yours.
A Hansø pergola isn't the same patio cover everyone else has - engineered for up to 167 mph winds, 65 PSF snow load, and four-season durability, built from T6 aerospace-grade aluminum. More than decoration. A real structure, built to actually last.
This Labor Day, make a Hansø pergola yours for less: save 35% on Horizon Smart and Pro+ pergolas. Every Horizon and Pro+ purchase includes a FREE Hansø ProCheck Care™ 10-Year Plan — worth $950.
Everyone else settled for the same flimsy patio cover. This one is built to last.

20,000 Points Can Get You to London or Tokyo
A few international trips just became much easier to book with points. Alaska Airlines’ Atmos Rewards Global Getaways is offering discounted award rates to destinations including London, Tokyo, Taipei and La Paz, Mexico.
The standout: London starts at just 20,000 points one-way from the U.S., with some New York–London dates available for 20,000 points plus $26 in taxes and fees.
Tokyo starts at 27,500 points from most U.S. cities and just 20,000 from Hawaii. Taipei is available from 30,000 points, while La Paz starts at 20,000—with some Los Angeles dates even lower.
There’s one catch: you must book by September 5. Availability varies, so the best dates may disappear quickly.
If you have Atmos Rewards points sitting around, this is worth checking before the window closes.

Beyond Travel
Why You Can’t Sleep—and What Actually Helps
Few things are more frustrating than being exhausted but unable to fall asleep. And the more you worry about not sleeping, the harder sleep can become.
Insomnia affects up to 40%–50% of adults occasionally, while roughly 10%–15% experience chronic insomnia.
The causes can range from stress and anxiety to pain, sleep apnea, medications, caffeine, alcohol, irregular schedules and too much screen time before bed.
But if sleepless nights become chronic, the best long-term solution may not be a sleeping pill. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is considered the first-line treatment and is designed to change the thoughts and habits that keep you awake.
Simple habits can help too: keep a consistent sleep schedule, limit caffeine and alcohol later in the day, exercise regularly, and make your bedroom cool, dark and quiet.
If you’re regularly losing sleep, don’t just learn to live with it. Find out why.
