The flights will benefit Spirit frequent flyers and those living in Utah looking for low-cost fares to popular domestic vacation spots.
“We listen to our guests, and they told us they wanted more exciting Western destinations to experience the great outdoors,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit.
The new routes will launch in time for the summer vacation season from May 26, 2022.
Spirit’s arrival at Salt Lake City International (SLC) will mark the first time the airline operates flights to and from the state of Utah.

Hot Tip: Despite being a low-cost airline, Spirit has the Free Spirit loyalty program that benefits the airline’s most frequent flyers. There are more ways to earn and redeem Free Spirit points than you might think!
Spirit is renowned for offering super-low, no-frills fares for those looking for a cheap and cheerful getaway.
Now passengers in Utah will have the opportunity to experience this for themselves on their next vacation to LA, Vegas, and Orlando.
