Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for Spirit Airlines in early January for travel to popular destinations like Las Vegas or Orlando during the spring break months of March and April, as availability tends to open up significantly after the holiday rush.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 80,000 miles for a round-trip flight from New York City (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) which typically costs around $400 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip flight from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Los Angeles (LAX) via Las Vegas (LAS) for only 40,000 Spirit miles, saving you 40,000 miles compared to booking a direct flight from FLL to LAX, which typically costs 80,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying Spirit Airlines on routes to/from Las Vegas, as they frequently impose a high "Passenger Usage Charge" of up to $50 per ticket, significantly increasing your travel costs.
