News / Spirit Airlines celebrates 20 years in the Dominican Republic with savings that soar
Travelers in the Dominican Republic can enjoy limited-time anniversary fares starting at $129* one way
Spirit Airlines is celebrating two decades of soaring between the Dominican Republic and the United States this November with limited-time anniversary fares and a Free Spirit® loyalty program promotion. Spirit first launched service in Santo Domingo (SDQ) in 2004 and has expanded service to include Punta Cana (PUJ) and Santiago de los Caballeros (STI). In honor of the 20-year milestone, the airline is offering Guests one-way flights from the D.R. to the U.S. starting at $129 one way, inclusive of all taxes and fees.*
The airline is also offering Free Spirit® members 1,500 bonus points on roundtrip flights and 750 bonus points on one-way flights to and from Santiago (STI), Santo Domingo (SDQ), and Punta Cana (PUJ). To earn even more bonus points, Guests can book Spirit's new premium travel options, Go Big and Go Comfy, and earn double the points for a limited time.**
Additionally, the Spirit Charitable Foundation commemorated the carrier's 20th anniversary in the Dominican Republic with a $10,000 donation to Project HOPE, a nonprofit that works to improve maternal and child health in the Dominican Republic by training thousands of local health workers and providing direct medical support in hospitals and clinics.
Spirit also makes it easier and more affordable for travelers to enjoy a vacation in the Dominican Republic with Spirit Vacations, which allows Guests to bundle flights, rental cars, and hotels, and save up to 30 percent on their vacation to the popular Caribbean destination.***
