It’s a summer of savings for a popular low-cost airline.
Spirit Airlines, based in Fort Lauderdale, recently published dozens of new flight deals, with fares starting at only $20 to popular destinations such as Charlotte, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, and Portland.
Travel + Leisure spotted fares available including:
- New York (EWR) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) from $21 on June 18
- Los Angeles (LAX) to Las Vegas for $21 on June 25
- Atlanta (ATL) to Orlando (MCO) for $22 on July 4
- Portland (PDX) to Las Vegas for $21 on June 25
- Dallas (DFW) to New Orleans (MSY) for $21
Travelers looking to save the most amount on their next flight should visit Spirit’s “Flights” pagewhich has a section for popular deals on the airline’s site. There, customers can enter their desired origin or destination, plus a budget, and see the cheapest flights available on the airline with suggested departure days to maximize savings. For example, the tool reveals a flight from Portland, OR (PDX) to Las Vegas, NV (LAS) on June 26 for $20, but if the traveler flies out three days later the price increases to $56.
While Spirit currently offers the low-priced fares referenced above, the airline is also running a “Close Out The Week With Savings” fare sale that has one-way fares starting at $58 one-way through June 8, 2024 at Midnight. The sale is valid on travel between June 15 and June 26, and then again August 6 through October 16, with the exception of Friday or Sunday travel.
This sale provides additional flexibility because it has more dates available, even if the fares are slightly higher. The promotion offers a variety of flights to Florida and Las Vegas for $58 throughout the summer, including New York to Miami for $58, or Chicago to Fort Myers for $58.
The carrier has been known for offering deep discounts with extra fees for carry-on and checked baggage, however the company has recently begun taking steps to adopt more customer friendly practices in an effort to entice passengers.
