Spirit’s Travel Agent rates offer exceptional value for Agency Partners For qualified travel agents, Fall is a great time to book positive-space travel using our special travel agency rate. To qualify for this $75 each way per person rate (excludes base taxes/options), your agency must have recorded Spirit Airlines sales during the past 60 days.
Bookings (including one companion) are allowed 7 days or less before travel and are valid in any market where Spirit offers a published fare. With our flights less full during this time of year, now is a great time to take a trip to Vegas, Puerto Rico, Cancun, New York and more! To inquire about availability or request a booking, simply email us at [email protected] and we’ll provide you with a full list of the rules and let you know what options are available.

Name Your Own Commission (NYOC) on Spirit’s Travel Agency Portal
Spirit’s NYOC Program Puts You in Charge
FREE enrollment for any IATA/ARC/CLIA agency!
Add your own mark-up to any bookings made on Spirit’s Travel Agency Portal – including our amazing vacation package deals!
Accrued balances can be applied towards future Spirit flights!
Once-monthly disbursements (upon request) made via check or electronic funds transfers for all balances over $200**.
Please remember:
1. Your NYOC “mark-up” dollar amount must be included in the initial booking ONLY and must be rounded to the nearest dollar. The actual figure is up to you! Remember, Spirit’s portal fares are generally $10 less per round trip (per passenger) than the GDS, so a flat $10 mark-up brings you extra profit and offers the client the same fare as any online travel agency.
2. As the “merchant of record”, Spirit will deduct 3 percent of the mark-up to cover our costs, which will be processed shortly after the customers’ first booked flight departs. There is no additional charge to keep your money in your account or if you apply it towards future bookings. If you have a customer that is paying you cash, you can use your earned balances as a form of payment in the booking and keep the cash!
Please make sure to review the full terms and conditions for Spirit’s NYOC program and all other options found under our travel agent portal at https://www.spirit.com/LoginAgent.aspx.
**NYOC disbursements subject to standard processing fees. Contact us for details.
