Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

To maximize your chances of finding award availability, book your Spirit Airlines flights for travel around mid-January to early February, specifically targeting routes like Las Vegas to Orlando, as this period often has lower demand and more open seats.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 70,000 miles for a round-trip flight from the U.S. to Latin America, where cash prices typically range from $800 to $1,200, providing exceptional value.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) via a stop in Chicago (ORD) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $75 for a carry-on bag and $50 for seat selection, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
