Spirit Airlines Is Adding New Nonstop Caribbean Flights 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - October 29, 2023 - 6:12 pm

Following the lead of Delta, ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines is launching flights to the Caribbean’s newest airport next year. 

Beginning March 28, Spirit will be operating nonstop flights from both Orlando and Fort Lauderdale to the Mexican Caribbean hotspot of Tulum. 

“Tulum is an increasingly popular choice for leisure travelers, and our direct flights from Florida will make a getaway to Mexico’s enchanting coastline more accessible than ever, just in time for spring break,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. “We have a long history of serving Mexico, and Tulum’s new airport is a great addition that will make it easier for our Guests to get to the city and enjoy its beaches, history, and variety of unique experiences.”

The launch of Tulum will mean Spirit operates flights from Fort Lauderdale to 26 different destinations, and from Orlando to 11 different airports.
