Spirit’s Labor Day Sale Has $48 One-way Tickets — but You’ll Have to Book Soon

Spirit Airlines is waving off summer with a bang and a big sale that has flights across the country starting as low as $48 one-way.

The sale, which must be booked by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 3, is available for travel from Sept. 14 through Nov. 20, Spirit shared with Travel + Leisure. The promotional fares are not valid on flights on Fridays or Sundays, but there are no other blackout dates associated with the sale.  

“As our Guests enjoy the holiday weekend with friends and family, we want to make it easier for them to save on their next vacation and continue exploring new destinations together with a special Labor Day offer,” Rana Ghosh, the senior vice president and chief transformation officer at Spirit Airlines, said in a statement shared with T+L. “Spirit Guests taking advantage of this limited-time offer can now look forward to greater value and a more enjoyable and comfortable journey with our newly enhanced Guest experience.”

The sale tickets are available for Spirit’s “Go” fare, which is the most economical of the airline’s new fare classes and the closest to the carrier’s original unbundled tickets. “Go” fares include one personal item in the cost of the ticket, but travelers are not permitted to bring a carry-on bag and must pay extra for a checked bag, seat selection, snacks and drinks, and Wi-Fi.

Fly from Miami to Las Vegas starting at just $48 one-way, or fly to Sin City from New York for just $71 one-way. For just $59 one-way, travelers can escape the cold in New York and fly south to Miami, or head from Chicago to Los Angeles starting at just $62 one-way. 

In addition to the sale fares, Spirit is giving away a pair of round-trip flights to lucky winners and their guests to celebrate their new upgraded fares, “Go Big” and “Go Comfy.” The sweepstakes is open through Sept. 23.

Spirit has also done away with most change and cancellation fees, including for its lower-priced “Go” fares.
