A Post on How to Get Good Deals on Spirit Airlines

Both times we have flown to Panama City, we have used Spirit Airlines. I have used a coupon code both times. We flew round trip from DFW to PTY for around $200 a person. When we flew in April 2017 to move, we already had our temporary resident cards and were coming to pick up our permanent ones, so we were able to buy one way tickets. Each ticket cost $103 with the coupon code.
The way I find the coupon codes is subscribing to their email list. I get quite a few emails this way and some of them do not apply, but when they do, you can get amazing deals! For example, they just put out a code for 25% off that was valid for a few days and could be used on a flight for a time period of about 5 months.
I enter the basic information and date range I'd like to travel along with the coupon code and have Spirit.com search. I go forward and backward on dates looking for the lowest listed price (usually in blue) and see if it works with my travel plans. If you're flexible on your dates, this is a great way to do it.
I just looked at dates around Christmas and they were around $500 per flight. If I waited to return until January 10, they dropped to $171. That's quite a difference. Summer seems to be about double as well. So flexibility is key and buying when you see the best deal. These can change quickly!
