Florida is getting even brighter with Spirit Airlines’ yellow planes officially landing at the Southernmost Point. The Florida-based carrier launched the only nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Key West International Airport (EYW), offering a quick, easy alternative to driving for South Floridians.
The flights will operate up to three times weekly on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays and will increase to daily service on December 18, 2025, for the holiday season. The new service makes it easier for travelers to explore Key West’s Duval Street, enjoy world-class water excursions and immerse themselves in the Florida Keys’ laid-back lifestyle.
The addition of Key West to Spirit’s route map marks the airline’s eighth destination in Florida alongside Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Fort Myers (RSW), Miami (MIA), Orlando (MCO), Pensacola (PNS), Tampa (TPA) and West Palm Beach (PBI). Plus, guests across the airline’s network can enjoy easy one-stop connections from major metros like Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Detroit (DTW), Houston (IAH), Newark (EWR), New York-LaGuardia (LGA), Philadelphia (PHL) and more to the Florida Keys.
