Spirit is offering “Early Bird” sale fares for domestic and international travel. Fares start at $78 round-trip, and cities include Ft. Lauderdale, Myrtle Beach, Cancun, and Santo Domingo.

If you prefer to plan ahead, Spirit’s deal is worth a look. Spirit’s domestic fares were the best available for two of the three routes I compared, but US Airways beat Spirit’s price for the Boston/Myrtle Beach route. As always, you should compare Spirit’s fares from those of its competitors before you book.
