If you're a Bears fan heading down to the Miami area for the Super Bowl, don't expect too much in the way of discounts from your favorite LCC. Round trip flights on Spirit airlines are already gouged to $853 for a non-stop. The official dates of Super Bowl weekend are February 1-5, when many hotels have a minimum stay.

One-stop flights are currently pricing out at $634 on JetBlue, and in the $500 area on American (into Miami). As for lodging in Miami, HotelChatter's got you covered for options including the $90 Miami Sun Hotel. The official Super Bowl visitors' site is here, but it charges a mysterious $45 non-refundable processing fee for room reservations.

On the up side, if you're looking for a car at MIA, you can still get passable rates for the weekend. Prices are slightly higher at your alternate airport, FLL.
