A discount airline is about to offer Philadelphia travelers another way to get to one of America’s busiest airports.
Spirit Airlines, the self-proclaimed “Ultra Low Fare Airline,” plans to offer nonstop service from Philadelphia International Airport to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport beginning June 18.
“This is exciting news for travelers in the Philadelphia region and beyond, especially in light of upcoming major events that will be taking place in Philadelphia,” said Airport CEO Mark Gale Tuesday. “We are very pleased that Spirit is expanding service at PHL and giving travelers more low-fare choices to Atlanta, a key destination. More affordable low-fare flights spur competition, which is great for the flying public and Philadelphia International Airport.”
As of Wednesday morning, the Philly-Atlanta flights cost less than $60 each way on Spirit.com.
Spirit already offers service to and from Atlantic City International Airport as part of its Atlanta services.
