Rochester (ROC) is set to be the latest airport to welcome service from Spirit Airlines.
The ultra-low-cost carrier has announced flights from the New York State city to Orlando (MCO) and Myrtle Beach (MYR) from June 2022.
“We can’t wait to welcome Rochester area residents onboard our bright, yellow planes and offer them More Go to exciting vacation destinations,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines.
The news comes a week after Spirit and Frontier announced their merger into a mega ultra-low-cost airline.
Let’s take a look at the details of Rochester’s new Spirit routes.
