MIRAMAR, Fla., Dec. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Affordable airfare just got a lot "peachier" for ATL. Spirit Airlines announced today it will add two new cites to its nonstop service options from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). The daily service starts on April 14, 2016 between ATL and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). Now you can take off for the Twin Cities or the Big Easy, saving more money for a weekend adventure in the Land of 10,000 Lakes or a night out in the French Quarter.
With these additions, Spirit operates nonstop service from Atlanta to 17 cities, including Atlantic City, Baltimore/Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas/Fort Worth, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St. Paul (starting 4/14/2016), New Orleans (starting 4/14/2016), Orlando, Philadelphia, and Tampa.
