Spirit Airlines has opened a new direct route between Fort Lauderdale and the Cayman Islands, with the inaugural flight departing today (December 4).
The low-cost carrier will operate three flights per week between the Florida hub and Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman.
Spirit will offer three classes of seats on its Grand Cayman service: Spirit First, Premium Economy, and Value.
With the addition of Grand Cayman, Spirit now flies to 24 international destinations from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport — more than any other carrier.
"Grand Cayman's natural beauty and world-class hospitality make it a great addition to our route map,” said Andrea Lusso, VP of network planning at Spirit Airlines.
“We're excited to bring our affordable fares and elevated guest experience to one of the Caribbean's most iconic island destinations.”
