Spirit Airlines -- As Low As $16 Roundtrips for $9 Fare Club Members ($56 for Non-Members)

Veteran blog readers have seen previous posts about Spirit Airlines, but some new readers may not have heard about them. It's a discount airline that serves mainly the eastern US and some of Central America, although it includes some Midwest cities and even Western places like Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Every so often, they offer sharply discounted airfares on certain routes for flights on specific dates. If you can get those dates to match up, you can get a real bargain roundtrip.

A few years ago when they had an incredible offer, I was able to book us two 2¢ roundtrip airfares from Atlantic City to Las Vegas. I haven't seen those insanely low offers lately, but there are still bargains that may fit a fun getaway or a quick visit to see some family.

Today and tomorrow, for instance, some airfares are as low as $8.00 each way on certain dates early in the new year. The lowest fare prices are available to members of Spirit's $9 Fare Club (I believe membership is $39.95 a year) or usually cost $20.00 more for non-members.

The fares don't include the airport/security surcharges that get tacked on to all airline tickets nowadays. These special prices have to be booked by the end of tomorrow, December 17th (although they may sell out so you should check sooner).
