Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for Spirit Airlines between mid-January and mid-February when availability often opens up for routes like Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas, as this period tends to have lower demand and more award seats available.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 40,000 miles for a round-trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles, which typically costs around $300 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) via Dallas (DFW), which typically costs 50,000 miles directly but can be done for only 40,000 miles by taking advantage of a multi-city ticket with a layover, saving 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on their routes from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, as they often charge a carry-on fee of up to $65 and a checked bag fee starting at $40 each way, significantly increasing your travel costs.
