San Antonio (October 17, 2023)  Spirit Airlines has announced a sixth destination with new nonstop service from San Antonio International Airport (SAT). This time the ultra-low-cost carrier is offering flights to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), which also serves New York City.

“Spirit keeps succeeding here in San Antonio. Their new service adds to the competition – which leads to even more competitive fares,” said Jesus Saenz, Director of Airports, San Antonio Airport System (SAAS). “We’re happy for our travelers, who are finding great deals to travel to several popular destinations. Spirit sees that and is continuing to add more service. Everyone benefits.”

Here are more details about Spirit’s service to Newark from SAT:

Spirit began service from SAT in 2022, with flights to Las Vegas and Orlando in November 2022. This year, the airline launched nonstop service to Baltimore and Fort Lauderdale in March. In May, nonstop flights to Los Angeles began.

Flights to EWR will depart SAT at 3:02 p.m. and arrive in Newark at 7:52 p.m. local time. Flights to SAT will depart EWR at 11:07 a.m. and arrive in San Antonio at 2:17 p.m. local time.

“Our San Antonio guests and partners have embraced our low fares and high-value service since day one – allowing us to grow to six, nonstop routes next spring,” said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines. “The new, nonstop route offers affordable options to explore the Garden State and visit family and friends in Northern New Jersey and New York City Metro area.”
