Spirit Airlines question

[LiamandMaeve]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get a handle on when Spirit releases dates so I can book a flight using reward miles. Does anyone have any experience knowing how far in advance Spirit releases their dates? For example, today I called the airline and asked and the representative said dates are released 6 months in advance. This of course can not be true as I can book a flight right now for August 2011, so that is obviously more than 6 months. I also asked if the dates are released day by day or the whole month at a time and the answer was not very clear.

Right now, I'm logging on each morning to check the dates and will continue to do that if I need to. Was just wondering if anyone had some experince with this. I'm looking to book in November 2011 and want to book early as possible. Last time, by the time I booked, there were no remaining rewards seats on the plane.

Thanks for any help!
Christine

I found out my reward dates for May 2011 by calling Spirit a couple of months ago. The representative knew the future dates, but the website was not updated with the new information for weeks. So just call every now and then and you'll have the information a lot faster than watching the website.

Thank you, that's awesome and will help a bunch!
