The network expansion includes nonstop service to Albuquerque (ABQ), Boise (BOI), and Reno-Tahoe (RNO) — 3 cities that were previously unserved by Spirit.
“Announcing three new markets is an exciting milestone for Spirit Airlines and our Guests as we deliver more high-value options for travel between the bright lights of Vegas and the huge variety of beautiful places to visit in New Mexico, Idaho and Northern Nevada,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit.
The final 2 route additions are to Salt Lake City (SLC) and Memphis (MEM).
The news comes in the same week we learn that nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Managua (MGA) will return on June 22, 2022.
Here’s everything you need to know about the exciting new routes.
Those living in and around the cities of Albuquerque, Boise, and Reno will be able to make the most of Spirit’s cheap flights for the first time when nonstop service to Vegas starts in August 2022.
The planned roll-out for the 5 new routes to and from Las Vegas (LAS) is as follows:
Destination | Start Date | Frequency |
Albuquerque (ABQ) | August 3, 2022 | Daily |
Boise (BOI) | August 5, 2022 | Daily |
Memphis (MEM) | April 20, 2022 | Daily |
Reno-Tahoe (RNO) | August 10, 2022 | Twice daily |
Salt Lake City (SLC) | May 26, 2022 | Twice daily |
After the inauguration of the Reno-Tahoe (RNO) to Las Vegas (LAS) route in August, Spirit will fly nonstop from Sin City to 41 destinations across the U.S.
Though other low-cost airlines already operate nonstop services from Spirit’s 3 new cities, the prospect of more travel opportunities and potentially even lower fares to Las Vegas (LAS) is exciting for passengers and industry stakeholders alike.
“We look forward to soon welcoming even more visitors from Reno, Boise and Albuquerque. These are three great markets within our region, each of which should show two-way demand among vacationers, sports fans, students and business travelers,” said Chris Jones, Chief Marketing Officer at Las Vegas Airport (LAS).
The arrival of Spirit in each of the new cities brings with it the possibility that more new Spirit routes will follow.

If that wasn’t exciting enough, the new routes plus the 3 brand-new cities for Spirit Airlines is confirmation that things are finally starting to look up for the airline and travel industries.
