Spirit Airlines has announced a new nonstop flight route between Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Savannah, Georgia, set to launch on October 9, 2025. The exciting flight will operate four times a week, offering travelers an affordable getaway with introductory fares starting at just $79 one way. As Spirit expands its services in Georgia, Savannah will become a key destination for travelers, complemented by additional upcoming routes. The announcement comes as Spirit aims to strengthen its fleet and position in the market, attracting millions of annual travelers to Savannah’s rich culture and scenery.
Fort Lauderdale is buzzing with excitement as Spirit Airlines has just announced a brand new nonstop flight connecting this sunny Florida city to the charming city of Savannah, Georgia. This is great news for travelers looking for a quick and easy way to explore Savannah’s historic squares, delicious southern cuisine, and vibrant arts scene.
Circle your calendars! The inaugural flight for this eagerly anticipated route kicks off on October 9, 2025. You can expect flights to operate four times a week, giving you plenty of chances to hop on board and enjoy everything Savannah has to offer.
What’s even better? Spirit Airlines is rolling out introductory fares starting at just $79 one way. With prices like that, planning a getaway has never been easier on your wallet! Imagine strolling down River Street or visiting the enchanting Forsyth Park without breaking the bank on travel.
With this new route, Savannah becomes the second destination in Georgia served by Spirit Airlines, following its earlier entry into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport back in 2006. This expansion reflects the airline’s overall strategy to cater to smaller markets, a shift that many believe will help restore its momentum after coming out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy just 26 days before this announcement.
But that’s not all! In addition to the Fort Lauderdale connection, Savannah will soon see even more nonstop flights. Other routes set to launch include:
This expanded service not only provides more travel options but also encourages competition in the Lowcountry region’s air market, giving travelers even better choices.
It’s also worth noting that Spirit Airlines will operate these routes with an all-Airbus fleet, known for its efficiency and comfort. However, the airline is facing some challenges, particularly with ongoing issues related to Pratt & Whitney engines on its Airbus A320neo fleet. Nevertheless, their strategy leverages fewer daily flights and limited services on select days to match peak travel demand more effectively, a method similar to that of competitor Allegiant Air.
With the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport already welcoming around 35.2 million passengers in 2024, adding Savannah to its list of destinations is a win for everyone involved. Savannah Airport officials are particularly thrilled about the arrival of Spirit Airlines, as the airline is known for its competitive rates and expanding route options, making it easier for tourists and locals alike to travel.
So, are you ready to start planning your next escape? With Savannah’s enchanting sights and Spirit Airlines’ affordable fares, adventure is just a flight away!
