The airline will begin daily year-round service to Orlando, Florida on April 27 as well as four-day-a-week flights to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Spirit Airlines starts with what it calls "bare fare," which includes no free bags other than a small carry-on and no free drinks.
A representative for the airline said flights begin at $34 each way, with the average one-way fare of $50. There are also extra fees for seats customers request, ranging from $1 to $50, while the fee for big front seats ranges from $12 to $199.
If you print your boarding pass at home, it's free, but it will cost $2 to print it at the airport kiosk or $10 for an agent at the aiport to print it.
