Spirit Airlines is launching three-times-a-week service from Ft. Lauderdale to San Jose, Costa Rica with fares starting at $64 each way. Yes, there are some 8 cent fares available, but the dates are so sporadic, you can’t make a reasonable round trip with them. But $128 (plus tax) round trip is still an incredible bargain.

Spirit Airlines is launching nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti beginning in March. Special fares start at a nickel each way, and they’re actually available (with tax, it comes to about $85 round trip). Now, Americans are warned not to go to Haiti, and for good reason (well, many good reasons, not least of which is the 60 people who were kidnapped in Port-Au-Prince last year). But for Haitians in south Florida, this is one helluva deal. In case you were wondering, Spirit’s aircraft will spend a grand total of 40 minutes in Haiti from when they land to when they get the hell outta there.

I’ve wondered why no airline in the US has tried the Ryanair marketing approach of offering nearly free fares. Wonder no more. Spirit Airlines has 5 cent fares for random dates in January, February and March. Good luck actually finding a reasonable round trip for $.10, but it is possible. I’d be curious if anyone can snag one.

Spirit Airlines has a sale on their business class fares and they’re extremely reasonable: New York to LA is about $500 round trip (even cheaper midweek), while New York to Florida is about $350 round trip (again, cheaper midweek). Spirit’s business class is roughly on par with domestic business class on the larger carriers, so this really is a steal. (though let me note that, at least right now, if you go to Spirit’s homepage, you’ll see an ad that shows a woman lying next to a man and she’s saying, "loved those extra 6 inches." I’m at least as rude and immature as the next guy—probably more—but I mean, come on.)

Spirit Airlines is having another one of their Ryanair-like sales, putting a bunch of cities on sale for $8 each way (unlike Ryanair, these fares are only available on a handful of days). However, they do tell you which days are available. You can get these crazy fares from New York to Cancun, Detroit to San Francisco, Fort Lauderdale to Nassau, and lots of other cities. Good luck!

It’s good to see that Spirit Airlines doesn’t take itself too seriously:
The carrier is offering discounted seats to Detroit for the Snoop Dogg-sponsored Snooper Bowl at, get ready for this, spiritizzle.com. Yes, you read that correctly. The LBC is coming DE-troit for a charity youth football game. Now, you may be wondering why a guy who has spoken at length about the joys of marijuana usage is now a child charity hero, but that’s neither here nor there. More power to him, I say. He’ll be coaching a team of kids from the LBC playing football against a team of kids from Detroit on February 4th and in Pontiac Silverdome. Spirit Airlines is offering $20 off round trip tickets to Detroit in early February in conjunction with the Snooper Bowl. (It’s actually Snooper Bowl II, but you probably knew that already).
