Spirit Airlines emerged in March from bankruptcy after filing for it in November, when it reported losing $1.2 billion for 2024. The low-cost airline cut flights and fired about 200 people companywide. With its debts renegotiated, Spirit is trying to cater to wealthier people, CEO Ted Christie has said.

Spirit Airlines’ fights will be the only direct flight offered between the two locations and will ramp up later this fall.

If you prefer summer's warmth to autumn's chill, an airline serving Raleigh-Duham International Airport is offering a second daily escape to Florida starting this fall. JetBlue will add the daily nonstop flight between RDU and Fort Lauderdale International (FLL) starting Oct. 26, the airline announced Wednesday.
