Orlando also serves as one of Spirit’s biggest international gateways to the Caribbean and Latin America, providing access to numerous countries.

This year is off to a great start at Spirit Airlines. In addition to the opportunity to serve the Milwaukee-area market, in January, the carrier launched its new Free Spirit® loyalty program, which is the fastest way to earn rewards and status.* Spirit is also one of only three U.S. airlines listed on FORTUNE’s 2021 list of World’s Most Admired® Companies, which measures companies with the strongest reputation within their industries. Spirit also earned “Platinum” status as the highest-rated low-fare carrier in the world by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Health Safety initiative powered by SimpliFlying.
