Budget airline now offering nonstop service to New York metro area from San Antonio

The ultra-low-cost carrier will now be offering flights to Newark International Airport (EWR), which also serves New York City.

SAN ANTONIO — Spirit Airlines is adding a sixth destination that will be a nonstop service from San Antonio International Airport.

Spirit began services from SAT starting with flights to Las Vegas and Orlando in Nov. 2022. Back in March of this year, the airline added nonstop services to Baltimore and Fort Lauderdale and in May, began nonstop services to Los Angeles.

“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.”

Flights from SAT to EWR will depart at 3:02 p.m. and arrive in Newark around 7:52 p.m. and flights from EWR to SAT wil depart at 11:07 a.m., and arrive in San Antonio around 2:17 p.m. 

“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.”

Spirit added that the daily service will begin on April 5, 2024 and tickets are on sale now on their website.
