Spirit is expanding its international connectivity, launching two more nonstop routes to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT).

The two nonstop flights begin running November 17 and November 18, increasing international connectivity for what is likely to be a busy winter travel season.

From TPA, travelers can then get on connecting flights heading to a wide variety of international places, like those in Mexico, Colombia, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Costa Rica.

Spirit first began flying out of MHT earlier this year in June; it was the first new airline at the airport in seventeen years. It now connects travelers from the Manchester-Boston area to four different airports in Florida; Myrtle Beach is expected to be the fifth Florida airport to welcome Spirit beginning next spring.

"It's exciting to see Spirit expanding to two more Florida destinations from MHT," said Airport Director Ted Kitchens, A.A.E. "These flights also come just before the busy holiday travel season after a year when many people were unable to visit their loved ones. These new flights and low fares allow our passengers to connect on Spirit flights for winter getaways in the Caribbean and Central and South America and enjoy a brief respite from the cold winter."
