Update 2: Deal is now dead!
Update: The “surprise” only works in the Firefox web browser, it will not work in IE.
Incredibly (Impossibly?) this price mistake is still alive!
S.B.S. points out that if you start checking out for one of the $0 intra-florida airfares (which do earn miles by the way), then continue as a guest (don’t login), and then you click the $9 fare club check box multiple times you will be in for quite the surprise!

Please use common sense folks, don’t call up Spirit and don’t book up the whole plane if you want any chance of them honoring this deal…
This incredible deal was sent to all of our dansdeals.com facebook group members. Join our facebook group to receive similar alerts. If you are a dansdeals.com facebook member and did not receive the alert please let me know.
Update: Just to make sure that the deal works I went ahead and booked a $0.00 ticket from Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando. I got a receipt and a confirmation number showing the $0 total cost! Now we just have to wait and see if Spirit finds a way to weasel out of honoring the tickets…

Nu, so who’s going down to the bahamas with this spirit sale to get engaged and then married there?
🙂
Is it only working to/from ft. lauderdale? Because anything i try from LGA is totally not working for me. Thanks.
why do you hate new york?
The funny thing is a refundable ticket is $75. What exactly will they be refunding you for your $75 refund fee?

there are none free from new york? 🙁
Thank you so much!! I just got a ticket to the Bahamas for $49.I’m taking a day trip!! Totally worth it!
I fail to see why someone would book a ticket for free with the intention not to use it. Isn’t that taking advantage of this in a disgusting way???
I can only speak for myself, but the one ticket that I booked was just to make sure that it would properly ticket at $0…
Thank You! Im leaving for the bahamas mon am and returning in the evening! For $49.00 I wasnt not goin to book.. its cheaper then renting jet skis for a few hours!
I was also making sure it would work.
Yossi, please forward my ticket details to o.binladen@aljazeera.net
Lol. Will do – after my next studying-for-finals break.
How’s Jerry doing?
did it work for anyone from newyork? to any where? what ever i tried dosnt seem to work from LGA?
New Yorkers: The deals from LGA and ISP are outlined in the post.
Dan from LGA we mean a free ticket to some where. Anything?
i just bought aticket from orlando to FLL for mid june so i think i goes way past 5/20
Well, you can fly to Panama City for $210 all inclusive from LGA… that ain’t bad. If I had the time and money I would jump on it…
For sure it goes past 05/20. 05/20 is just the return date of a sample trip, not a trip deadline!
Anything from DTW?
Yea, are there any cheap deals from detroit?
I dont have alogin- anybody wanna tell me what the ‘big surprise’ is?
just continue as a guest.
nothing happened…
hey dan,
do you know the best place to get one of those usb wireless cards to make a PC wireless?
We just tried booking two tickets from NY to FL and we couldnt do them at once, so we did it separately. ALSO: We must pay for the return flight, 50- a person totaling 70- a person. How is it $00.00? Please post if you know. thanks!!
dan wat r the chances that spirit cancel these free flights? with the promotion you can even book free tickets from sep-nov

Hi Dan,
I have no need for such a ticket but I’m amazed at some of the guys here that are just going and making tickets on ficticious names etc…
Why dont you leave it for someone else that will use it? why ruin it for the other guy???
Maybe, in the future you should have a separate blog for those ppl you trust, and only post such “deals” there!
I’m with you “me”, enough with the fake free tickets already, you’ll probably just wind up ruining it for everyone…
hi there the surprise doesn’t show up on final page am i correct?
As long as bush and osama are not on the same flight
Mop: thats correct.
is this deal still on, it’s not working for me.
still alive
what’s the surprise?
It is not a price mistake, the ticket are aboout 29$ and with the SAVE48 coupon u get them for free!
It is a price mistake because it is not charging taxes and fees.
How far is it from Orlando to Ft. Lauderdale anyways?
Isn’t it driving distance?
Its about a 4 hour drive from Fll to Orlando. about 1xx miles
Oh ok.
(It is not Shabbos here yet, btw)
Please stop placing ordering tickets for fictious fake names.
Be considerate to others, we are here to help each other.
the deal is over from fll to orlando leaving on the 5th of may
now can you tell us what the surprise was???
so did he get a credit for 1,008? it was to close to shabbos when i saw the suprise so i couldn’t do it but that is awesome if worked for him
HB: you did not miss anything.
the surprise is just funny.. u dont get $$ back
