Spirit Airlines has served Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers for three decades. The low-cost carrier began flying there in 1993 and currently has nonstop service to 14 destinations and up to 20 daily departures. Now, Spirit is adding flights to San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU).

This new route is the latest in Spirit’s expansion at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). Last month, flights to Charleston International Airport (CHS), Norfolk International Airport (ORF), and Richmond International Airport (RIC) were all added.

RSW is a great, long-time partner of Spirit Airlines, and we’re thankful to the Fort Myers community for their continued support as we add the only nonstop service to SJU on our 30th anniversary. The addition of nonstop service to San Juan creates an exciting opportunity to connect the two vibrant communities with reliable and convenient service.”
