12/2007 - Spirit Airlines updates and deals

[Jimmydr]

but you can use it to Jamaica!
flights from Florida to Montego Bay, Jamaica are like $180R/T all in for January.....
and like $270 R/T from a lot of US cities.......elcheapo.....really tuff to beat mon
screw that $450 - $900 airfare to POP in the DR.........

Jamaica is not DR nor is it Colombia. Some of us only want Latinas!

some of us like a mix......variety is the spice of life!

I'll be bringing this up every 2 or 3 months; but are those $260 flights to MDE a thing of the past??

Do i just have to get used to $600 flights the way it was before Spirit appeared on the scene??

Some of us had that mix and now we want to be on cruise control going thru the land of Latinas.

I was getting nervous with Spirit for about two years now.....
as their Montego Bay flights were getting up there like before there was any Spirit........
but finally they pulled the plugged and now offering super low prices......even lower than originally
so wouldn't be surprised if they drop their prices at some point to Meddy........

It only seems like he does, with the effort put in to get a cheap flight

Its cheap from Ft Lauderdale.

But he gets offended if you say anything bad about Spirit.

I know, I never understood that, some guys are the same way if you talk about their favorite Hotel/bar

I guess loyalty can go too far sometimes.

Not the right description my friend!
My defense of Spirit is about PRICE only.
Many times I have said show me a better price and I'll buy that ticket.
So far no one has.

As far as the under $300 dollar RTs from northern cities to Medellin:
For now,Spirit only has one flight a day to Medellin(as far as I know)
As long as it stays that way seats will be at a premium.Every flight I have taken in about a year has either been full or damn close to it.(usually always full on the way down)
I myself wonder,every time I get on that flight coming or going,when Spirit is going to put at least one more flight per day on the schedule.
As near as 2 years ago I could call and get a RT with miles as soon as a couple of weeks as long as it was in the off-peak time period.The last 3 times I called it hasn't been like that. I had to book almost 5 months ahead with miles for this next trip.Thats why I bought one for 1/30 and then another wasn't available untill the 18th of April so I grabbed that one also.
Again....as I posted above........2 RT tickets at $65 each and one at $202 so far this year.
Show me a cheaper ticket for any airline and I'll buy it.

By the way ps.......you better get back soon,your reputation is starting to fade!!!!!

4 trips in 2011.

hell I only did 2, maybe the same in 2012.

If the rates from here stay at $600, I'll only be doing one trip in 2012. Almost impossible to use spirit miles from the NY area and get what you want. And i'd rather use my american miles for asia because those tickets are $1500 to get what you want.

I will do maybe 2 trips using miles but each trip will be for at least 3 weeks.

I have bee trying to book a ticket to Medellin on my Avianca miles and all miles savers 24,000 are sold out for every date I put in for 2012 the only thing that is open is business seats at 56,000. I have 100,000 miles with them and these bastards are not letting me book miles savers on every date I put in . The good old cheap fares to Medellin are done with only American, and Sprit flying directly to Medellin from the USA. Another US based airline needs to fly there in order to get competition with these other airlines so they bring down their prices to Medellin.
