Several airlines are soaring into Travel Tuesday with some of the best flight deals of the year. Following a record-breaking Thanksgiving travel period, the momentum is continuing as thousands look to finalize travel plans for 2026.
As the consumer frenzy known as Cyber Week comes to a close, some carriers are allowing travelers to take advantage of low fares through Wednesday. Frequent fliers can also find reward flights for much less than usual.
Ultra-Low-Cost Discounts
Despite its financial woes, Spirit Airlines is joining in on the Travel Tuesday craze with special deals. The ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) is offering as much as 60% off base fares. The offer is applicable to travel between December 9 and March 4, 2026, and the flights must be booked on Tuesday. Passengers must use the code 60PCT to receive the discount. It applies to flights only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
It comes as the airline has been working to expand its route network. Late last month, Spirit launched a new route between Fort Lauderdale and Belize City. The carrier also recently added routes to Grand Cayman, Key West, and Savannah. Spirit also says it is “offering more premium seats this holiday season than ever before,” thanks to its first class and new premium economy seating.
“We know travelers are looking for major savings this Travel Tuesday so we’re doing what we do best and delivering exceptional value to our Guests,” said Rana Ghosh, Spirit’s Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spirit Airlines. “With 60 percent off base fares, travelers can splurge more at their destinations while enjoying the reliability and enhanced travel options Spirit offers.”
