Whether you're looking to theme park hop or hop onto a beautiful beach, Spirit Airlines is set to whisk the Piedmont Triad away to sunny Florida with ultra-low fares.
Beginning September 6, Spirit will begin service from Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), Orlando International Airport (MCO), and Tampa International Airport (TPA).
The Piedmont Triad will mark Spirit's 66th service station in its growing network.

"Spirit is an ultra-low-cost carrier that is building a sterling reputation for reliable, on-time service to key markets. Spirit service at PTI is a great win for the airport and a great win for the community and the state."
