Spirit Airlines cut many routes over the past year as it adjusted to having a smaller fleet and works through its second bankruptcy. The good news for Spirit flyers is that the low-cost carrier is adding back many of the routes that got the axe last year.
Routes that Spirit is bringing back focus on a handful of airports, but offer a good mix between business and leisure destinations. These include:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) (daily; restarts on April 15th)
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
- Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) (12x weekly; restarts on April 15th)
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)
- Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) (daily; restarts on April 15th)
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) (12x weekly; restarts on April 15th)
- Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) (daily; restarts on April 15th)
- Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) (daily; restarts on April 15th)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (2x daily; restarts on April 15th)
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)
- Boston Logan International Airport (daily; restarts on April 15th)
- Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) (4x weekly; restarts on April 16th)
- Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) (5x weekly; restarts on April 16th)
- Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) (daily; restarts on April 15th)
- Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) (4x weekly; restarts on April 16th)
Miami International Airport (MIA)
- Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) (3x weekly; restarts on April 15th)
Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR)
- Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (LBE) (5x weekly; restarts on April 15th)
- Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) (daily; restarts on April 15th)
What I find interesting about these routes is that every one of them except for the two Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) flights is already flown by American, Delta, or United (or in some cases two or three). Spirit will have some competition, but that rivalry will also spark some lower fares across carriers on these routes.
Anthony’s Take: Timing is good for a spring vacation and Spirit is beefing up the map again. Look for some low prices on these routes in April.
