Right now Spirit award prices are actually coming in as low as 1,250 miles each way for cardmembers, so Puerto Rico may be closer than you think. For flights from Region 2, like the gateways of BWI and PHL, cardholders can access 5,000-mile one-way awards while non-cardholders pay 12,500 miles. If you don’t have the credit card, the same award flights cost 10,000 miles. If you love flying Spirit Airlines and have its cobranded Spirit Mastercard, you can fly anywhere in its first zone level - Region 1 - for 2,500 miles each way on off-peak dates. A one-way flight to Puerto Rico from Miami cost $5.60 plus 9,000 Avios for economy and 16,500 Avios for business class. Since British Airways uses a distance-based award chart, you can use your British Airways Avios points on American Airlines flights if you live in the Southeastern part of the United States to score a great deal to Puerto Rico. This includes the Frontier Discount Den, Delta Companion Certificates, etc. Sadly, most other BOGO flight opportunities exclude Puerto Rico.

If you hold or can earn Southwest’s popular Companion Pass, you can bring along a companion of your choosing for just the cost of taxes and fees.
