Discounts from the Spirit Saver$ Club can only be booked through the airline’s website, so the airline’s reservation team or airport agents cannot help book these discounts. So, if you’re looking for a bargain basement deal, you must be savvy and research online.
Students are also set to benefit from the Saver$ Club, with 20% off the membership fee for those studying. This means they can travel home or away for less.
