Spirit Airlines began operating nonstop low fare service between New Orleans and Dallas/Fort Worth. In addition to nonstop service to Dallas/Fort Worth, Spirit offers connecting service from New Orleans to Chicago, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale and Houston.

“We are committed to saving our customers money on travel by offering them the lowest fares,” says Spirit Chief Marketing Officer Barry Biffle. “We’re excited to offer travelers our popular ultra low fares to New Orleans just in time for many of 2013’s premier events and festivals.”

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said, “We are pleased to welcome Spirit Airlines to New Orleans. This is another sign of the airport’s growing momentum and the strength of the New Orleans market.  It’s a great opportunity to continue to grow our air service to meet the demands of our citizens, visitors and conventioneers.”
