Spirit Airlines announced an “anniversary sale” Tuesday to mark 20 years of flying to St. Thomas, with fares starting at $119 one way to the continental U.S. in the new year.

Spirit is the only carrier currently flying nonstop from St. Thomas to two Florida destinations — Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, the latter of which also has flights to and from St. Croix, according to a press release announcing the sale. “Plus, travelers can take advantage of easy one-stop connections this winter from St. Thomas to up to 11 destinations through Fort Lauderdale and up to 16 destinations through Orlando,” it said.

The $119 one-way fares include taxes and fees and must be booked by Dec. 21, 2025, and are valid for travel from Jan. 13 through March 4, 2026, with some blackout dates on Jan. 19 and Feb. 12-17, the release stated.

Flights are available for booking at spirit.com.

“For two decades, we’ve offered an affordable and reliable travel option between the U.S. Virgin Islands and the continental U.S.,” said Andrea Lusso, vice president of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. “Celebrating 20 years in St. Thomas is a milestone for us and a testament to the incredible support of our airport partners and the community who have embraced our high-value service over the years.”

The fare sale comes as the budget airline is undergoing a “comprehensive restructuring” after filing voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in August.

During the restructuring, Spirit said flights will operate normally and customers can use tickets, credits and loyalty points.
