News / Spirit Airlines celebrates inaugural launch of Charleston, S.C., flights with new nonstop Las Vegas route announcement
Daily, nonstop service to Fort Lauderdale, Newark and Philadelphia launched April 5th, with the airport's only nonstop flights to Las Vegas starting September 2023
Spirit Airlines is adding bright yellow to Charleston's iconic Rainbow Row with the launch of its new, nonstop service from Charleston International Airport (CHS). These new, convenient nonstop flight options deliver affordable fares to Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Newark (EWR), and Philadelphia (PHL) and make it easier for East Coast travelers to experience the Southern charm behind this award-winning destination.
To celebrate the service launch, Spirit also announced an expansion with a new nonstop route to Las Vegas (LAS) starting in September. The new Las Vegas route will be the only nonstop flight connecting Charleston Guests to the popular entertainment destination. Spirit is offering an introductory fare on the new route, with one-way fares starting as low as $99* for travel September 7 – October 18, 2023.

Spirit's Charleston service adds to the airline's long-time history in South Carolina. Spirit first entered the state more than 25 years ago with service from Myrtle Beach (MYR). The airline currently offers 17 peak-day daily departures in South Carolina. In addition to the new service from CHS, Spirit is launching seasonal nonstop flights to Chicago (ORD), Cleveland (CLE), and Rochester (ROC) from Myrtle Beach this May.
The Spirit Charitable Foundation commemorated its new service in Charleston with a sizable donation to Friends of Fisher House Charleston, a nonprofit focused on providing temporary accommodations to veterans and their families while the veteran is receiving medical attention at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center.
