For some reason Spirit has a bad name but I've used them for over a decade and only one late departure from Ft Lauderdale to San Jose was an issue, otherwise I've had great flights each trip. :P

I'm in the $9 club and for chicken feed you can take as many as 5 full size pieces of luggage much cheaper than shipping stuff here, upgrade to luxurious huge front first class style seats for like $30, free one large piece of luggage and a carry on, choose your seat, things like that.

Their prices for that time frame range mostly in the $71 to $111 per flight, same deal, taxes and fees included, some occasional $120's and $140's, but most in that range. The last 2 weeks of November spike up.

South Floridians : No more excuses!!! Pick one and get yer ass down here! :!:

Morazan and HDR are still cheap, someone who knows can update me but I'm hearing about $70 a night.

When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale when super cheap flights, even cheaper than this came up, me and my crew would shoot down for a 3 or 4 day weekend, stay at HDR for $65 a night and sometimes fly home Monday morning and be at work the same day, our suitcases in our trunks and a wicked gleam in our eyes at the young sexy secretaries and clerical workers...I'm thinking "Hey honey, I just slammed the hell out of a hot thing that looks just like you three times this weekend and STILL had time for 4 more.... :!: :!: :!: " :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

For super frugal guys, how about $125 a week at Vista Linda for a fully furnished one bedroom about $1500 to $2000 colones away, taxi, even cheaper uber, outside of 5 to 6 pm traffic... or even less than 500 colones bus which stops right in front of the place to downtown.

Super cheap? Ignore the $70, $80 even cien requests from potentially disappointing freelancers and go to Monica's or 360 or Relax and get 1/2 hour sessions for around $13 to 15k colones, one hour for 20k colones, a 5k colon and 10k colon tip respectively gets you pretty much everything, safe, away from your things in your hotel room, and almost always get the full hour. :shock: :D

Ok, figure $300 for flight, taxi, car storage at airport.

Vista Linda and taxi, uber, $150

One hour sessions at above mentioned mp's and possible occasional day girl low price from HDR or SL, $60 per session.

There's incidentals and you'll end up paying for additional things, condoms, viagra, tips, expensive meals eating out, whatever, but a cheap monger can get away with under a g note for a 4 day excursion :!: :!: :!:

What great useful posts from General Ingus and the Gem! As a cheap Scottish person (I didn't say Jewish) I really appreciate this information.

Could you further explain the benefits and costs of the Spirit $9 Club? I’ve always been curious to join but they are very dodgy with the details.

Essentially cheaper flights vs normal fees, also they email you with super cheap offers unavailable to the general public, I flew round trip on a flight not filled once for like $60. They also have options as I mentioned above, check out their site, if you live in Florida and travel to CR at least 2x a year it's def worth it, I'm guessing any where there's round trip options to CR would be the same.

Here's their explanation :

Once you’ve signed up for the $9 Fare Club, you can immediately start saving by booking travel online and comparing your membership benefits to non-members'. For instance, when you search for a flight at Spirit.com, the pricing calendar on the Flight Availability page will show you the $9 Fare Club pricing options available for your travel dates. And every time you buy bags online, you’ll save even more with $9 off standard online bag prices.

Get discounted fares and cheaper bags.
Covers everyone on your booking.


Fly more. Exclusive access to discounted fares and vacation packages. Bring More. Up to 50% off...etc

FLY MORE Exclusive access to discounted fares and vacation packages

BRING MORE Up to 50% off bags compared to paying at the airport

SAVE MORE Enjoy the same savings for everyone in your travel itinerary

Access to this offer for about $50 more per trip :

CHECKED BAG + 10 lbs Our standard checked bag + 10 extra lbs = 50 lbs total!

CARRY-ON BAG Our standard carry-on bag

PICK YOUR SEAT Grab a sweet spot in the plane (including Exit Row)

SHORTCUT BOARDING Find your seat and get cozy quicker!

FLIGHT FLEX No Change Fees! Modify for FREE via Spirit.com up to 24 hours before departure - Subject to fare difference

2X MILES Earn 2x the flight miles you'd regularly earn for this trip

By the way...

SpiritAir has a website where you can make changes, it never works and when you call the USA 800 # it's a long wait and dimwitted marble mouth low i.q. coolies screw you up.

Costa Rica Spirit support is SO SUPERIOR, the clerks speak good English and are helpful and intelligent. Here are the numbers :

4032-9449

4000-1887
