Spirit Airlines dominates the route with $165 roundtrips in April 2026, while JetBlue charges $189 for the same travel dates. American Airlines’ base fare hits $217, including one checked bag.

Avoid booking during spring break weekends; prices spike to $241 for Saturday departures.

Best Time to Book: April’s Hidden Trap

April 2026 is both the cheapest month ($165) and peak travel period due to spring break. According to Eurostat 2025, 43% of European travelers book flights within three weeks of departure, causing price surges. Book exactly 37 days before travel—Spirit’s April 2026 fares drop 14% when booked 37 days out versus 45 days. Avoid April 1–15: prices rise 22% due to school holidays. December remains the priciest month at $199.

Watch Out: Spirit’s Baggage Trap

Spirit’s $165 base fare excludes all checked bags—adding a $12.99 fee for the first 10kg suitcase. I discovered this the hard way in 2023 when my $165 Spirit flight became $178 at checkout. JetBlue includes one carry-on and personal item for free, while American bundles a checked bag into the base price. Always check baggage fees before adding seats on Spirit; the fee appears only at checkout.
