Autumn is considered an off-peak travel season for many destinations, making it an ideal time to snag a great flight deal. Spirit Airlines is the latest carrier to discount a wide range of flights, with one-way fares available from $50 for a limited time.
«With these deals, you can turn those endless chats into real-life fun,” the airline shared about the promotion on its website. “Book a great deal now and make it happen.”
The airline’s “Get the Girl’s Trip Out of the Group Chat” sale ends tonight, Sep. 17, at 11:59 p.m. ET, and can be booked directly on Spirit’s website. These promotional fares are available for travel between Sep. 23 and Dec. 18. However, travel between Nov. 21 and Dec. 1 is excluded from the sale, in addition to all Friday and Sunday flights.
No discount code is required to find these deals, andTravel + Leisure found a ton of $50 one-way tickets bookable through the end of 2024:
Even cross-country routes, such as Spirit’s nonstop service between Los Angeles (LAX) and Atlanta (LAX), can be booked for marginally more, starting at $55 one-way. However, these sale fares are exclusively available in Spirit’s “Go” fare class, which includes a free personal item but charges extra for additional services.
That said, Spirit recently overhauled its ticketing options, with some upgraded fares now including carry-on bags, seat selection, Wi-Fi, and other perks. Earlier this year, the low-cost airline made a major update by allowing all passengers to change or cancel their flights without penalties.

Few films drive home travel’s ability to help us understand one another as poignantly as Will & Harper. When Will Ferrell’s longtime friend and Saturday Night Live collaborator Harper Steele comes out as a trans woman, the two set off on a road trip from New York to Los Angeles to better understand her transition and, in turn, their friendship. “I love this country so much,” Harper says. “I just don’t know if it loves me back right now.” Over 17 days, a three-vehicle crew followed the pair and, with mounts on Harper’s Jeep and car-to-car shooting, captured 240 hours of footage. Here, director Josh Greenbaum reflects on the places that moved him and on navigating the country in a new light.
