You've probably missed your shot to snag initial fares for 8 cents and $8.00 a piece to fly to Managua (the cut-off was May 24, but perhaps there will be another promotion), but this new service is most welcome. The announcement was made earlier this week from Spirit Airlines headquarters in Fort Lauderdale: "Service to Managua will be offered three times per week starting August 2, 2007 and will then increase to daily service starting November 15, 2007. Flights will be operated with Spirit’s Airbus A319 aircraft which features deluxe leather seats, moveable headrests and large overhead bins." Leaving from Fort Lauderdale is a huge bonus, says Nicaragua author, Mr. Randall Wood, who has considerable experience traveling in and through Florida: "Fort Lauderdale is a great airport, far better than the chaotic and mismanaged Miami."
Managua is Spirit’s fifth Latin American destination. Earlier this year, Spirit started service to San Jose, Costa Rica and Guatemala City, Guatemala and recently announced new service to San Pedro Sula, Honduras and Lima, Peru. I'm trying to find out the inside scoop on Spirit, who describes themselves as "the largest Ultra Low Cost Carrier serving the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States. For fares, schedules and reservations go to spiritair.com or call 1-800-772-7117 (en Español, 1-800-756-7117). |
