Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

For the best award flight availability with Spirit Airlines, book your flights for travel during the shoulder season months of late September to early November, particularly for routes like Las Vegas to Orlando, when demand is lower and seats are more likely to be available.

Sweet Spot

For 50,000 miles, you can redeem a one-way flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, which typically costs around $150 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and then to New York City (JFK) instead of booking a direct flight from LAX to JFK, saving about 1,000 miles on the total trip due to Spirit's unique routing policies that allow for connecting flights without significant mileage penalties.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to and from Las Vegas, as they often charge a $50 carry-on fee and a $45 seat selection fee, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
