Nonstop Spirit Flights Linking Key West and Fort Lauderdale Launching Soon!

Dania Beach, USA - In a game-changing move for travelers eager to explore the beauty of the Florida Keys, Spirit Airlines has announced the launch of nonstop service between Key West International Airport (EYW) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Starting on November 6, 2025, this new route will mark the only direct flight offering between these two popular destinations, as reported by Le Soleil de la Floride.

Vacationers will rejoice at the chance to skip the lengthy drive to Key West, arriving in just 50 minutes directly from Fort Lauderdale. The flights will initially operate four times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, transitioning to a daily service beginning December 18, 2025.

Affordable Travel Options

With introductory one-way fares starting at just $79, Spirit Airlines aims to make travel to the picturesque Key West more accessible than ever. The new service slots Key West as Spirit’s eighth destination in Florida, joining other bustling cities like Miami and Orlando. The airline will be providing multiple travel options, including Spirit First, Premium Economy, and Value seating, catering to diverse passenger needs, as noted by Airways Magazine.

Flights can be booked from July 22 through November 19, 2025, for travel from the service’s launch on November 6 until December 17, 2025, with some blackout dates applying. This approach to pricing makes it easier for those looking to escape to the Southernmost Point.

A Focus on Growth

Interestingly, this announcement comes as Spirit Airlines navigates through a period of restructuring and bankruptcy. The airline is actively working to streamline operations and has already increased its flight offerings in South Florida throughout 2025. The company’s recent reports show a clear strategy to expand its footprint by establishing Key West as a new link in its growing network, alongside connecting passengers to major U.S. cities such as Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and New York City.

Furthermore, Key West International Airport is currently served by several other airlines, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue Airways, among others. However, with its exclusive nonstop service, Spirit is set to give travelers a unique option and make that coveted Key West getaway even easier.

As we brace ourselves for the opening of this much-anticipated route, it’s clear that Spirit Airlines has a good hand to play, potentially reshaping how many Floridians—and tourists—access the acclaimed beaches and vibrant culture that Key West has to offer.
