Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for domestic routes like Los Angeles to New York in mid-January 2024, as this is typically when airlines release additional availability for post-holiday travel.

Sweet Spot

Redeeming 90,000 miles with Spirit Airlines for a round-trip flight from New York City (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX) offers exceptional value, as typical cash prices for this route can exceed $400, while the redemption only costs 90,000 miles.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) with a stopover in San Juan (SJU) for the same mileage as a direct flight, saving about 5,000 miles compared to booking LAX to FLL directly, as the stopover adds value while utilizing Spirit's flexible routing rules.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying Spirit Airlines on routes to/from Las Vegas, as they often impose a high carry-on bag fee of up to $65 each way, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
