fw thread (http://www.fatwallet.com/t/63/517435/) lists some $15 fares found. too bad it's just one way

maybe they are encouraging migration.

Looked for a few minutes and found some $15 fares from Bos-San Juan, but I'm not tempted as the return fare is not discounted.

Yeah - found DCA-CUN on 9/21 for $15, but the return is $178, so the total after taxes is almost $300... Not a bad price, but not a great one either. I'm not biting.

peace,
~Ben~

This fare applies for the Puerto Rico DO. Come on down and join us. :)

why couldnt you just book another one way on a different date?

am i missing something?

:D

That's one way to solve the country's so-called immigration problems. ;)

How dumb is this?

:mad: Our reservation system is currently unavailable. Please check back in a few minutes. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Only good for travel "south" and "west" :td:

It's a good fare, if you were looking for a particular itinerary, like LGA-FLL. Otherwise, it doesn't seem worthy of spending a day doing an MR.

Especially since Spirit doesn't have mileage plan!

Well, it looks like one can get for instance a $15 ($43 all-in) OW DCA-SJU and then seperately buy a OW on CO for $140 all in. Total of $180 RT all in for a trip to SJU in Sept. ain't bad and at least you get miles half way...

peace,
~Ben~

Booked a LGA-FLL for the $15, then a FLL-SJU for $15, then possible to book a o/w back to NYC (CO/UA/AA/DL) for as low as $59. I started my trip in SJU, dates that worked are 9/29 LGA-FLL & 10/2 FLL-SJU.

Spirit's website says the sale is good through 11:59pm Sept. 8

You can actually connect on the same day LGA-FLL-SJU ... you just have to buy the segments separately. Combining the two segments into one itinerary on spirit's website changed the price. This works on Saturday 17 Sep ... arriving in SJU around 1:30pm. You can then take a one-way fare back to NYC on US/DL/CO on Sunday or Monday for a weekend in SJU for around USD200 all-in I believe.
