Spirit Airlines began daily flying to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) today from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Three more routes will roll out in October. The low-cost carrier will take on United, JetBlue, and Delta from their respective hubs with these new routes.

Savannah is the second city in Georgia that Spirit serves. The airline started at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) in 2006. The three other new routes include:

  • Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) (2x weekly; starts on October 10th)
  • Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) (4x weekly; starts on October 9th)
  • Nashville International Airport (BNA) (3x weekly; starts on October 9th)

Rana Ghosh, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spirit Airlines, said:

We’re always looking for new destinations our Guests will love, and the addition of Savannah to Spirit’s network offers a great value for a charming getaway. Our new service will also provide Savannah travelers with easy access to four cities offering beautiful beaches, vibrant music scenes and big city views.”

The airline is celebrating the launch of its Savannah service with a Free Spirit loyalty program promotion where members can earn 1,500 bonus points on roundtrip flights and 750 bonus points on one-way flights to and from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV). Travel from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) must be booked by Aug. 21st, and flown by September 21st. Travel to the other three cities must be booked by October 17th and flown by November 17th.

Anthony’s Take: Savannah is a nice addition for Spirit. United and Delta are likely not pleased with these new flights, but passengers now have more options to get to this charming city.
