Google Flights, then book directly with the airline (by following the links on Google Flights). Book soon since it’s a holiday. I see $214 RT on Spirit right now (carry on or checked baggage will be additional).

It will be around $168 if they buy at the airport. It’s an extra $46 convenience fee to buy online.

You first check the business hours online. You show up at the baggage drop off area and tell them you want to buy your ticket. You give them the dates, airports and your name. You save $23 on each leg of your flight. So if you have a round trip ticket with two legs. You may save around $92. You have to remember that every ticket has a minimum charge of $15.40 to cover for taxes and airport fees.
