Spirit Airlines has a sale going on today for many of their routes, where members of their $9 Fare Club can get flights on specific dates for as low as $1 each way. many other cities are just a couple of bucks more. If you're not a club member, the fare sale is still worth checking out, if, say, you want to go roundtrip from New York to Florida for $44 (if you can match the dates coming and going).
But if you're going to book travel here, since annual club membership is $39.95, you can basically get the lower club fare and membership for the cost of a non-member roundtrip.
These fares are only on sale till 11:59 pm on December 19th, so if you want to check out any possible travel you want to do it posthaste.
For those of you who haven't heard of Spirit, they're a discount airlines whom I flew to Las Vegas roundtrip for two cents! The service was fine; you just had to pay for services ala carte, i.e. pay for beverages, pay for a checked bag etc. That was in the days when the major airlines weren't doing that, so it seemed the discount was the price you paid for the lesser free services on board. But now that most airlines are tacking on all of the same fees, there doesn't seem to be as much difference.
The city-pairs for which they have $1 fares (or $21 non-member) include:
Atlanta - Fort Lauderdale
New York (LaGuardia) - Detroit
Orlando - San Juan, Puerto Rico
Fort Lauderdale - Cartagena, Colombia
Fort Lauderdale - San Pedro Sula, Honduras
Other low-cost city pairs include (tack on $20 more for the non-club fare):
Atlantic City - Tampa: $2
Atlantic City - Fort Myers: $3
Atlantic City - West Palm Beach: $5
Atlantic City - Myrtle Beach: $7
Boston - Myrtle Beach: $5
Boston - Fort Lauderdale: $7
Columbia SC - Fort Lauderdale: $2
Detroit - Fort Lauderdale: $5
Detroit - Cancun: $9
New York (LaGuardia) - Fort Lauderdale: $2
New York (LaGuardia) - Myrtle Beach: $2
Washington DC - Fort Lauderdale: $7
Fort Lauderdale - Many Caribbean and Latin American cities: $2-$9
