Thanks for creating this post. I just bought a PHL-LAS one-way for $16.11 total, at the ACY airport Spirit counter. What I found and maybe it's for ACY only, is Spirit only sell tickets between 8am-6:30pm. They have a separate line for ticket sales, so that customers that are just purchasing a carry-on or checked bag for a same day flight aren't in the same line.
It kind of felt like the experience of buying a ticket at a Greyhound station just to go up to NY. They even provide a sleeve with receipt like Greyhound. ACY's short term is 15 minutes for free and fortunately, I was able to get in and out at just 15 minutes or so. It's $2 I think for the first hour. I could have gone to PHL and parked in short term, but I felt like heading to ACY.
$17 is the lowest that I have ever paid for a ticket, beating the $29 PHL/ACY-ATL fares that I thought were low. With Spirit and this being a lengthy flight, I will pay for seat selection though, maybe Big Front Seat.
Also, this can be combined with the low fares on LAS-SFO on Southwest, for a flight the next day, because of the fare war between Southwest, VX and B6.
