If you decide to travel with Spirit Airlines and have to make a stop over in Fort Lauderdale PLEASE be advised that upon your return into the U.S. you WILL have to exit customs and re-enter the check point. What does this mean??
Well it means that if you buy liquor in any of the duty free zones within DR airports you will NOT be allowed to re-enter with them on your connecting flight in FL. So, if you do not have space in your luggage upon exiting Customs at FL, and you do NOT have a carry-on you WILL be forced to chuck your liquor.
If you do have a carry-on, be prepared to pay an additional $25 dollars to check your carry-on negating whatever savings you may have realized in the duty free zone.
In short, whatever savings you THINK you have with SPIRIT, think again, unless you fly for $9.
