Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for travel to the Caribbean from the East Coast between mid-January and late February, as this is when availability typically increases and demand decreases after the holiday season.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 70,000 miles for a round-trip flight from Los Angeles to New York City, which typically costs around $500 in cash, providing excellent value at 0.0071 cents per mile.

Routing Trick

By booking a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York City (JFK) with a stopover in Fort Lauderdale (FLL), you can save approximately 1,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight, as Spirit allows for creative routing that can lower the overall mileage requirement.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you can face fees like $50 for carry-on bags and $100 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your total cost.
