Spirit flights tend to be less expensive than competitors’ — but also less convenient
Spirit Airlines is adding nonstop flights several times a week starting in May from Charlotte to four new destinations:
Detroit (4x/week starting May 8)
Philadelphia (4x/week starting May 8)
Baltimore (4x/week starting May 8)
Indianapolis (2x/week starting May 8)
The airline hasn’t announced the additions, but the new flights appear on flight schedules and were noticed over the weekend by a handful of obscure aviation websites that pay attention to such things.
Spirit’s fares tend to be lower than those of competitors that fly those routes — chiefly American Airlines, but also Delta and Southwest on some of the routes. But Spirit will also fly less frequently than those competitors, who fly to those cities several times a day, not several times a week.
Spirit is also restoring nonstop flights between Charlotte and Los Angeles, twice a week starting May 9 — a route it had discontinued in January. —Tony Mecia
