Major airline offering 'all you can fly' pass for less than $600 per year
A US-based airline is offering its customers an annual 'all you can fly' pass for less than $600.
For those dreaming of limitless journeys in 2025, Frontier Airlines is on hand to assist would-be jetsetters with a limited-time deal on its GoWild! Pass.
For just $599, savvy adventurers can enjoy an unlimited number of flights across Frontier's domestic and international destinations, including the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico, and Latin America.
The pass is valid for travel between 1 May, 2025 and 30 April, 2026, where it then automatically renews at $699 a year.
Pass holders are granted access to a range of benefits, including the opportunity to book domestic flights a day before departure, and ten days before departure for international travel.
Organised travellers can also plan ahead and select flights early by searching and choosing GoWild! when available - though an Early Booking charge may apply.
Pass holders automatically become members of Frontier Miles upon enrollment, giving the opportunity to earn miles on all Go Wild! eligible purchases.
Plus, passengers can use their Elite Status to secure seats and bring onboard bags free of charge.
To enroll themselves or another individual for the GoWild! Pass, purchasers must be 18 years or older and a resident of the United States.
The pass holder must also be a resident of the United States and a Frontier Miles member, according to the terms and conditions listed on the airline's site.
After purchasing the GoWild! Pass, passengers can book tickets on select flights for just $0.01 in airfare, plus applicable charges, fees and taxes.
There are also other limitations worth considering before travellers buy into the scheme.
Pass holders are unable to reserve seats, and fares do not include carry-on or checked luggage.
All passes are subject to blackout dates as listed by Frontier, restricting passengers from travelling around the holidays and other busy periods.
Additionally, purchasers cannot use their GoWild! passes to buy tickets for other travellers.
Frontier first launched a monthly GoWild! pass in 2023, and has since been successful enough that the airline has expanded it to include summer and annual options.
The major airline operates routes across 100 destinations, from its main hub in Denver, to popular U.S. cities like Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas and Atlanta, to international locations in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Canada.
Meanwhile, a former American Airlines boss has revealed the real reason why the firm terminated a passenger's 'lifelong' first-class plane ticket - after the frequent flier cost the company millions.
Steven Rothstein, a businessman from Chicago, purchased an exclusive £190,000 AAirpass ticket in 1987, which granted him unlimited first-class flights for life.
In addition to the AAirpass, Rothstein also splurged a further £115,000 for a companion pass, allowing him to travel with a guest.

Trump's tax-cut bill could hold back US critical minerals projects
WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill would make it harder for American critical minerals companies to compete with China because it eliminates a tax credit for boosting domestic production of nickel, rare earths and other materials used in advanced electronics and weaponry. With Trump and Republican lawmakers aiming to cut government support for green energy projects, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a version of his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" last month that eliminates the so-called 45X credit. The Senate is now debating the bill. Former President Joe Biden's 2022 climate change law, the Inflation Reduction Act, created the 10% production credit - a reduction in corporate taxes for critical minerals extraction and processing. The tax break also covers solar, battery and wind projects. The version of the bill that passed the House treats government incentives for wind turbines the same as those for mining projects that many view as crucial for national security. Critical minerals companies now say their projects are collateral damage to the political feud over renewable energy. The tax credit is already law and part of the current federal budget. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which scores the cost of legislative proposals when asked by Congress, has not studied how much would be saved by removing the credit. The Republican majority in Congress is seeking savings to fund other priorities such as tax cuts, defense and balancing the budget. This month, the hard-right House Freedom Caucus said it "will not accept", opens new tab attempts to "water down, strip out, or walk back the hard-fought spending reductions and IRA Green New Scam rollbacks achieved in this legislation." Miners, though, say they need the credit to compete with China. Beijing has halted exports of some critical minerals, used its control of rare earths to strike a trade agreement with Washington, and flooded global markets with cheap supply of nickel, cobalt and lithium. The traditionally conservative mining industry now finds itself in the unusual position of needing Washington's support to grow and, in some cases, survive. The owner of the only U.S. cobalt mine went bankrupt this year after Chinese miners depressed global prices of that metal. "If we do not have that tax credit, critical minerals producers in the U.S. are at risk of succumbing to closures," said KaLeigh Long, founder and CEO of Westwin Elements, which is building the country's only commercial nickel refinery. Westwin might not be able to service its debt without the tax credit, Long said, noting the company's loans were modeled using the expectation it would be permanent. Last month, Long wrote a letter asking the Senate to keep the credit. It was co-signed by 30 industry executives. Any changes the Senate makes to the bill must be reconciled with the House version before being sent to Trump. Several House members have admitted they did not read the entire bill before voting for it, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, a Georgia Republican, and Congressman Mike Flood, a Nebraska Republican. House Democrats unanimously voted against the bill but their criticism has focused on tax cuts they say will widen the deficit while requiring cuts in health care, food assistance, education, scientific research and other programs. "There's so many issues right now under consideration in Congress and this one isn't breaking through, but it will certainly break through when we have a shortage of minerals in five years," said Jeff Green, a critical minerals industry consultant. Senator John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democrat who voted for the IRA in 2022, said in a statement to Reuters that cutting the credit would "kill jobs ... just to fund tax breaks for the ultra-weathy" and would be a "bad deal" for the country. Trump, who has issued several executive orders aimed at boosting U.S. minerals production, has not commented publicly on the 45x debate. The White House did not respond to requests for comment. "The tax credit just adds a phenomenal bump to a project's economics and gives us advantages that China already gives its own companies," said Alex Grant, CEO of magnesium processing startup Magrathea, who signed the letter. China controls most of the world's production of the metal, used in alloys for steel and aluminum. Abigail Hunter, executive director of SAFE's Center for Critical Minerals Strategy, described the tax credit as the "only tool currently available to support industry exposed to market manipulation." The House version also removes any remaining IRA funding for the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO), which under Biden awarded billions of dollars in loans to Nevada lithium projects from ioneer ( opens new tab and Lithium Americas ( opens new tab. Potential for the LPO's closure led miners to rush to finalize loans last year, as Reuters reported in August. Republican senators this week said they were in discussions about how to extend some green energy tax credits, especially for businesses with large capital investments. No firm commitments have been made. For Mahesh Konduru, CEO of minerals processing startup Momentum Technologies, the credit is one way for Washington to show industry support. "We need to have the appropriate tools to build, nurture and grow that supply chain inside the United States," he said.

US household wealth dropped in first quarter as tariff concerns hit stocks
June 12 (Reuters) - U.S. household wealth fell at the end of the first quarter, Federal Reserve data showed on Thursday, dragged down by a stock market rout that has since reversed course. The net worth of households and non-profit groups had declined to $169.3 trillion as of March 31, the Fed said in its quarterly U.S. financial accounts report, down from $170.9 trillion as of the end of last year. It was the first decline in household net worth since the third quarter of 2023. A slide in real estate values during the first quarter added to the equities-driven decline. The S&P 1500 Composite index, which encompasses the vast majority of the U.S. stock market, shed about $2.5 trillion in value in the first three months of 2025 as investors worried that President Donald Trump's tariffs could drive up inflation, send the economy into recession, or do both simultaneously. The drop in wealth may prove short-lived - the S&P 1500 is currently up about $1.2 trillion on a year-to-date basis and is essentially unchanged since Trump took office for a second time on January 20.

Stablecoin startup Noah raises $22m
A former Adyen executive and an ex-UBS analyst have become the latest entrants into the increasingly crowned stablecoin infrastructure market, raising $22 million in seed founding for their startup, Noah. 0 LocalGlobe led the round, with participation from Felix Capital, FJ Labs and angels including Joe Lonsdale from Palantir and former Adyen CTO Alexander Matthey. Noah says its technology empowers businesses and their customers with lightning-fast, cost-efficient, and fully compliant global money transfers to rival the "slow, costly and frankly obsolete Swift system". Through its API and checkout integrations, businesses can convert funds between fiat and stablecoins across a network of over 50 currencies and 70 countries in real-time, transparently, cheaply and without compromising compliance, claims the startup. In a crowded market, Noah says that, while others bolt stablecoins onto existing or broader payment offerings, it is built around them, unequivocally committed to channelling its resources into building the essential infrastructure stablecoins need to scale. The funding will be used to spearhead expansion into fintech hubs across US, Europe and Asia, pursue essential licensing, and backing its product and engineering divisions. Thijn Lamers president, Noah and former EVP, global sales, Adyen, says: "Having had a front row seat to Adyen's explosive global demand, I see an even more profound trajectory for stablecoins. "Our cutting-edge technology, our world-class team, and now the formidable backing of top-tier investors perfectly position Noah to capitalise on the immense potential of stablecoins and address the practical needs of global businesses."
