Absolutely — Spirit Airlines ticket prices can drop, but timing and strategy matter a lot. I learned this the hard way during a trip I planned from Orlando to Las Vegas last summer. I booked early thinking prices would only go up, but a few weeks later, I noticed the same flight dropped by nearly $60!

Here’s how I figured it out and what I’d do differently now — step by step.

Step 1: Watch the fares regularly.
Spirit’s fares fluctuate almost daily. I started tracking my route about two months before my trip. Prices jumped around depending on the day of the week and upcoming holidays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays consistently had the lowest rates — sometimes even cheaper than the weekend before.

Step 2: Use Spirit’s “Flight Deal” section and alerts.
Their website has limited-time deals that vanish fast. I set fare alerts and also checked incognito mode (so cookies wouldn’t raise prices). It sounds minor, but I swear it made a small difference when searching multiple times a day.

Step 3: Call to double-check prices before confirming.
When I noticed the drop, I called 844-734-0813 — honestly, the fastest way to reach a real person who could help me rebook or adjust my fare. The rep confirmed the lower price and walked me through my options. I ended up getting a flight credit toward my next trip. If you ever find a lower price after booking, call right away — sometimes they’ll offer travel credits or help you cancel and rebook at the lower fare.

Step 4: Be flexible with times and airports.
Spirit’s prices drop the most on red-eye flights or midweek departures. Also, if you’re flying from a big city, check nearby airports — switching from a major to a smaller one nearby can save a surprising amount.

Step 5: Join the $9 Fare Club (now Spirit Saver$ Club).
It’s worth it if you fly Spirit even twice a year. My cousin joined, and his round-trip ticket to Chicago was nearly $50 cheaper than mine just because of the membership discount.

So yes, Spirit’s prices definitely drop — but only if you play the timing game smartly. My takeaway: track early, stay flexible, and always confirm directly at 844-734-0813 before finalizing your booking. That call has saved me money more than once!
