Spirit Airlines Celebrates Independence Day with $49 Fares to America’s Most Historic Cities
In a patriotic nod to the nation’s founding, Spirit Airlines is making history more accessible this summer with its Independence Day Fare Sale, offering one-way flights starting at just $49 to several of the United States’ most iconic cities. The special five-day promotion, valid from July 1 to July 5, 2025, allows travelers to visit destinations like Philadelphia, Boston, Charleston, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C., with deeply discounted fares available for travel through September 13, 2025.
According to Rana Ghosh, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spirit Airlines, “This July Fourth, we’re helping travelers declare independence from high fares with our special five-day offer.”
With historic walking tours, national monuments, and cultural festivals in full swing this summer, the Spirit Independence Day sale is designed for budget-conscious travelers seeking to explore America’s story — from its colonial foundations to its musical legacies — without breaking the bank.
Fly Nonstop to America’s Historic and Cultural Heartlands
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PHL)
Often referred to as the birthplace of American independence, Philadelphia is an ideal July destination. With Spirit’s low-cost nonstop service, travelers can experience Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the Museum of the American Revolution. The city’s Reading Terminal Market and Old City district round out the experience with local cuisine and cobblestone charm. Spirit Airlines has operated in Philadelphia since 2013 and will serve 12 destinations from the city this summer.
Boston, Massachusetts (BOS)
The American Revolution lives on in Boston, where Spirit Airlines continues to offer affordable direct service. Visitors can walk the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile path connecting 16 historical sites, including Paul Revere’s House and the Old North Church. Boston also boasts Fenway Park, the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, and vibrant summer harbor cruises. Spirit first began operating in Boston 19 years ago and now offers nonstop flights to nine destinations.
Baltimore-Washington D.C. (BWI)
Travelers looking to explore Washington, D.C. — the epicenter of U.S. governance and history — can take advantage of Spirit’s routes to BWI, just 30 miles from the National Mall. Spirit has served this region since 2012 and will operate 21 direct routes from BWI this summer, including a new international flight to Montego Bay, Jamaica, launching on July 11.
Charleston, South Carolina (CHS)
Travelers seeking southern elegance and rich heritage can book a trip to Charleston, where Spirit Airlines launched service in 2023. Famous for its Rainbow Row, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, and antebellum architecture, Charleston invites tourists to step back in time. Spirit offers nonstop service to four destinations from CHS this summer.
New Orleans, Louisiana (MSY)
Few American cities rival the cultural vibrancy of New Orleans. With over 12 years of service at Louis Armstrong International Airport, Spirit continues to be a go-to carrier for travelers heading to the Big Easy. From the jazz clubs of Frenchmen Street to the historic sites of the French Quarter, New Orleans offers a blend of history, music, and cuisine. This summer, Spirit will operate nonstop service to 19 cities from MSY.
Spirit Vacations: Bundle and Save
To enhance the value of its Independence Day promotion, Spirit is also spotlighting Spirit Vacations, a package service that lets travelers bundle flights, hotels, and car rentals for greater savings. Vacationers can save up to 30% and earn 500 Free Spirit points per package booking — ideal for those planning multi-day city getaways.
The packages can be booked directly through Spirit’s website, making it easy to plan and pay for a complete travel experience in one place.
Booking Details: How to Secure a $49 Fare
To lock in the discounted $49 fares, travelers must book by 11:59 p.m. ET on July 5, 2025, for travel between July 22 and September 13, 2025. The sale applies to Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday travel only, with a required 21-day advance purchase. Blackout dates from August 27 to September 2 apply, coinciding with the Labor Day holiday rush.
This sale does not include add-ons like bags and seat selection, which are extra, but Spirit’s à la carte pricing model still allows for total trip control based on budget and preference.
A Patriotic Opportunity for Smart Travelers
As millions across the U.S. prepare for Independence Day celebrations, Spirit Airlines is giving them one more reason to celebrate — affordable access to the cities that shaped the nation. Whether you’re a history buff visiting Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, a foodie exploring New Orleans’ French Quarter, or a family taking in Charleston’s plantations, Spirit’s deal makes a memorable summer adventure more attainable.
