A Black Friday<\/a> airfare dogfight appears to have broken out between rival discount carriers Spirit and Frontier airlines, as both announced Friday they are briefly selling one-way tickets for $30 or less under for cold weather travel.<\/p>\n

Spirit, which is based in Dania Beach, and Frontier, a multi-time Spirit acquisition suitor<\/a>, also said members of their loyalty programs can get lower prices than the ones advertised for non-members.<\/p>\n

The offers are a continued test of the airlines\u2019 low-price business models which are designed to attract leisure travelers.<\/p>\n

Each airline serves Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, with Spirit maintaining the top position in market share January through October this year at 28.9%, according to airport data. Frontier is ranked ninth with a 1.7% share for the same 10-month period. Earlier this month, Frontier started nonstop flights to six large U.S. cities<\/a> from the Broward County airport.<\/p>\n

Both carriers also serve Palm Beach International and Miami International airports.<\/p>\n

Here are details of the deals:<\/p>\n

Spirit<\/p>\n

Spirit calls its program \u201cBlack & Yellow Friday,\u201d after the black lettering and yellow paint jobs on its jetliners. The deals, the carrier said, are designed to give travelers savings during the holiday season and into March.<\/p>\n

From the airline, here are Spirit\u2019s sales terms:<\/p>\n

One-way flights start as low as $25 for members of Sprit\u2019s Saver$ Club program, and $30 for non-members.<\/p>\n
