I've written a few times about Spirit Airlines and their occasion ridiculously low airfares. For those of you new to my blog, I was able to fly roundtrip on them from Atlantic City to Las Vegas for two cents one time! Lately they've restricted most of their most special fare sales to members of their $9 Fare Club. The special they have going on today has special prices with great fares for $9 Club members, but some still nice prices even if you're not a member.
Seats are limited at these special fares, and they offer the special prices for specific dates, but if you can pair up dates you can get very low-priced roundtrips.
Membership in their club is $29.95 so adding that to a fare might make it worthwhile just to take advantage of the better prices. If you happen to live in/near some of their service cities and might be able to take advantage of their routes several times (i.e. you live near New York and have reason to go to Myrtle Beach or Fort Lauderdale occasionally), you might be able to use them a few times and save way more than the cost of your membership. And if you live anywhere near Fort Lauderdale (their main hub), it's almost a no-brainer to join since they have tons of specials from there, not just in the U.S. but also the Caribbean.
Some of the specials available for booking by midnight tonight include:
Columbia SC to/from Fort Lauderdale: 9/16, 9/21, 9/23, 9/26, 9/28, 9/30
- for Members they have $3 seats each way; for non-members $11
Fort Lauderdale to Freeport, Bahamas: 9/18, 9/19, 9/22, 9/26, 9/28, 9/29
Freeport, Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale: 9/14, 9/15, 9/19, 9/21, 9/22, 9/25
- for Members they have $2 seats each way; for non-members $11
Atlantic City to Fort Lauderdale: 9/30, 10/16, 10/27, 11/16, 11/17, 12/16
Fort Lauderdale to Atlantic City: 10/8, 10/11, 10/17, 11/27, 12/4, 12/16
- for Members it's $7 each way; non-members $23
Airport/security fees are additional to these fares as with any airline ticket. Spirit also charges for bags checked as some of the major airlines have started to do as well (boo!).
Spirit won't work for everyone everywhere (they're mostly East Coast although they do go to Las Vegas and Los Angeles), but if you happen to be able to use their routes, they may be worth considering for some bargain travel.
