Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book Spirit Airlines award flights for the best availability and lowest mileage rates during the off-peak travel period of mid-January to mid-February, specifically for routes like Fort Lauderdale to New York City.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 20,000 miles for a one-way flight from Los Angeles to New York, which typically costs around $300 in cash.

Routing Trick

Instead of booking a one-way flight from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Las Vegas (LAS) for 15,000 miles, book a round trip from FLL to San Juan (SJU) with a stopover in Las Vegas for 20,000 miles, effectively saving 5,000 miles while enjoying an additional destination.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying Spirit Airlines on routes to and from Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $100 in fees for carry-on bags and seat selection.
