Spirit Airlines is preparing for a major surge in holiday travel with a pretty extensive expansion of its Latin America and Caribbean network just added. Beginning in late November and continuing through early January, the carrier will resume key routes, boost flight frequencies, and introduce new service across the region. The enhancements broaden Spirit’s footprint to 24 international destinations and offer travelers a range of affordable options during one of the busiest travel seasons of the year.
The upcoming schedule additions significantly increase connectivity through Spirit’s major U.S. gateways, particularly Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and Orlando International Airport (MCO).
Puerto Rico Growth
Service to San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) ramps up on December 18th, with Spirit resuming daily flights to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and Orlando International Airport (MCO). Service to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) jumps to 2x daily beginning December 5th.
South America Enhancements
Spirit will expand service across several key South American destinations:
- Armenia’s El Edén International Airport (AXM) will increase Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) flights to 5x weekly beginning January 8th
- Guayaquil’s José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) resumes with 1x daily Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) service on December 4th
- Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) increases to 1x daily service to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) on December 4th
- Managua’s Augusto C. Sandino International Airport (MGA) also moves to 1x daily Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) service beginning December 5th
- Medellín’s José María Córdova International Airport (MDE) boosts Orlando International Airport (MCO) service to 2x daily starting December 4th
Central America and Caribbean Additions
Spirit continues expanding into leisure-focused markets:
- Belize City’s Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) launches 3x weekly flights to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) on November 21st
- Grand Cayman’s Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) joins the network with 3x weekly Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) flights beginning December 4th
The wide-ranging updates strengthen Spirit’s position as a major low-cost carrier serving Latin America and the Caribbean. With added frequencies, restored service, and new destinations, travelers have more opportunities than ever to plan affordable warm-weather escapes during the holiday rush and beyond.
Andrea Lusso, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines, said:
We know our Guests want to connect with loved ones and exciting new destinations this holiday season, and our expanded service will make it easier to get there. Guests can enjoy even more options to travel between the US, Latin America and the Caribbean for even greater savings and convenience on their holiday and 2026 travels.”
Anthony’s Take: It’s smart for Spirit to stick to leisure routes where it knows that it can fill planes. It’s good to see the low-cost carrier adding after so many cuts have been made during the restructuring.
