Spirit Airlines begins flying out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport this summer. This week it's advertising flights from Minneapolis to Chicago or Las Vegas for about 29-dollars.

Cathy Wurzer talks with Andrea Sachs about her experience and the tips she learned for getting the best deal.
