MIRAMAR, Fla., July 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) is "Spurring" more convenient travel options with the announcement of its new, nonstop service from San Antonio International Airport (SAT). The new service launches with daily, nonstop routes to Las Vegas (LAS) and Orlando (MCO), offering affordable options to the two popular leisure destinations.
"Our low fares and daily flights make it easy and more accessible for San Antonio families to discover these two world-class entertainment destinations," said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. "We are also excited to offer our current Guests affordable access to the Alamo City to experience the attractions, rich history, and vibrant culture that have earned it a top vacation destination ranking in Texas."

"Spirit coming to San Antonio International Airport gives our community more family-friendly travel options. They can enjoy the sites and sounds of Las Vegas and have a fun time enjoying all Orlando has to offer," said Jesus H. Saenz, Director of Airports at the San Antonio Airport System. "Also, more people in Florida and Nevada can come and see how special San Antonio is – with cheaper fares that are too good to pass up. It's a win-win because it's making traveling to far destinations more accessible."
San Antonio will be the fourth Texas airport Spirit serves, adding to its operations in Austin (AUS), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), and Houston (IAH). Furthermore, Spirit sees big opportunity in Texas and has added more flights and seats to its overall Texas service in the last year.
Spirit's entrance in San Antonio comes after the carrier recently announced its new aircraft maintenance facility at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), further strengthening its ties to Texas. The maintenance complex includes two aircraft bays and ramp space for up to four aircraft, as well as warehouse, shops, and office space.
