MIRAMAR, Fla., Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mexico's east coast jewel will soon be only one nonstop flight away for U.S. travelers. Spirit Airlines (NYSE: SAVE) today announced new, nonstop service to Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport (TQO) in Tulum, Mexico, making it the first U.S.-based ULCC to announce service at the brand-new airport. Daily flights from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Orlando (MCO) will launch on March 28, 2024, in conjunction with the start of TQO's international service.

"Tulum is an increasingly popular choice for leisure travelers, and our direct flights from Florida will make a getaway to Mexico's enchanting coastline more accessible than ever, just in time for spring break," said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines.
