Seattle-Tacoma's newest airline is giving flyers in the Emerald City more green for takeoff. Spirit Airlines announced today that Seattle-Tacoma will join its growing route network, with new service to two cities this coming spring. Twice-daily nonstop service to Los Angeles starts on March 24, 2016, followed by twice-daily service to Las Vegas beginning on April 14, 2016. Connections will be available to an additional 15 cities via Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

"Seattle-Tacoma is the perfect new city to expand our growing network," said Mark Kopczak, Vice President of Network Planning for Spirit Airlines. "Spirit's super low Bare Fares™, with Frill Control™ allows customers to choose only those extras they want to pay for and gives them the most control over their travel budget.
