12/2007 - Spirit Airlines updates and deals

[BCell]

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.

It may happen in 2012

I forgot to mention(this should fire up the Spirit haters!!)that about a week ago the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinal reported that Spirit said they made $5 million in baggage charges in the last year.

I saved over $600 on two trips to Medellin. Everyone did well.

Yeah, 3 of my 4 trips in 2011 were with Spirit.

Spirit's low rates were the only reason i was able to go.

That's great news!!! It will keep the fares LOW and no doubt over 90% of that cost is for women's luggage--Glad I don't foot their bills-----------

I used miles on my last 2 trips in 2011 and 2 out of 3 trips the first of 2012 and have more than enough for 1 more. I should have enough for at least another one after posting miles from the 3 trips.

What do you mean by that....you dont earn miles from trips you use miles on

No, if you use your miles to get a ticket, you don't earn any miles.

So I am looking for April to Meddy and I get $901.50 RT on American vs $559 on spirit including $40 for carry on.


Its a savings of $341

Damn unions are killing american

The savings at jacknblacks exchange rate ($6) equals to 56.83 putas. Although my exchage rate is a lot lot worse.

I don't know,I could swear I get 1/2 of the total miles of the trip.Who knows maybe I'm wrong.I'll really check it out after this trip.
I guess even I can make a mistake.

Its true, spirit gives you miles even on a mileage award ticket...

Really, that can't last for long.

[Hunter]

I refuse to believe spirit gives miles for a trip you took on award....someone prove that to me

TGI use to give credit for free stuff until they realized and changed it. Jet Blue was doing a special for $99 and they forgot to exclude Christmas and they fixed it after 24 hours but by then, many people bought tickets including me.

If they don't explain what they want to the IT guys, things don't go well.

[BorisDaBulletDodger]

I am confused

Just checked my statements seems too good be true. I went to mde in november booked with miles but then purchased another return ticked to exten my stay.

My purchases thru baa in october was $1200.04 i got 2258 miles on nov statement.

In addition i got 1404 miles which i think is credit for the return flight.
