Spirit Airlines recently reached a milestone by adding its 60th destination to the carrier’s growing route map.
Known for a tiered pricing model that lets travelers customize their experience, Spirit will begin non-stop service from Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Hartford, Connecticut, to three popular Florida and coastal destinations later this spring: Myrtle Beach (MYR), Orlando (MCO), and Fort Lauderdale (FLL).
The new BDL–Orlando and BDL–Myrtle Beach routes launch April 27, offering direct flights between Hartford and Orlando International Airport as well as Myrtle Beach International Airport. Service to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport will begin June 15.
“We are thrilled to name Hartford as the 60th city to join our growing network,” said Mark Kopczak, vice president of network planning at Spirit Airlines. “Spirit’s super low Bare Fares™ with Frill Control™ provide a new option to customers in Connecticut and western Massachusetts. As the first U.S. airline to give customers the choice to pay for only the extras they want, we know Spirit’s arrival in Hartford will free the region from high airfares and give many more travelers the ability to spend those savings on vacation.”
Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy emphasized the economic benefits of the new service, saying Bradley International Airport is a major driver for the state’s economy. He noted that the addition of Spirit expands the region’s airline options, supports tourism growth, and contributes to improvements in the transportation network.
Tickets for Spirit’s new flights from Bradley International Airport are available for purchase now.
