Best places for Spring break 2025: 3 of top 5 airlines' searched destinations in Florida
What are the top spring break destinations in the U.S. this year? It's too early to tell yet, but Spirit Airlines took a look at which spring destinations their customers were searching for and Florida is still a top destination, with three of the top five in the Sunshine State. "We know many travelers are locking in their first vacation of the year, and it's clear they're after warmer weather and major entertainment options with Florida, Las Vegas and Puerto Rico topping the list for our Guests' most searched spring break destinations," said Rana Ghosh, Senior vice president and chief transformation officer at Spirit Airlines. Orlando (MCO) Fort Lauderdale (FLL) Las Vegas, Nevada (LAS) Miami (MIA) San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) Pensacola might rise to the list soon. Spirit Airlines announced in January that the company would be expanding its nonstop flight offerings for spring break. The new flights are: Nashville International Airport BNA-PNS: March 6 - 18, 4x weekly (new service) Dallas Fort Worth International Airport DFW-PNS: March 5 – 17, 4x weekly (resuming service) Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport DTW-PNS: March 20 – April 8, 4x weekly (new service) Chicago O'Hare International Airport ORD-PNS: March 20 – April 8, 3x weekly (new service) Also in March, there will be a new nonstop flight between Fort Myers and Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte Douglas International Airport CLT-PNS: Starting March 5, 2025, daily service Spirit Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2024 after a lengthy period of losses, failed merger attempts and debt maturities. Spirit previously announced pilot furloughs and capacity cuts, and the company was heavily impacted by engine problems that grounded many Airbus A320s across multiple airlines. However, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved all of the airliner's "first day" relief requests to allow the company to keep paying employees, vendors and partners and to continue its flights as the airline restructures its debts. A recent run of disastrous plane incidents — a midair collision in Washington, D.C. between a passenger plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter that left 67 dead; a medical Learjet crashing in Philadelphia that killed all six people on board and one person on the ground; a U.S. military service member and three contractors were killed in a plane crash in the Philippines; more than 100 passengers evacuated when the wing of a United Airlines plane still on the runway caught fire; a plane owned by Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil crashed into a business jet, killing one and injuring four others — have many travelers concerned about the safety of their flights. But flying remains the safest form of transportation, statistically, especially on U.S. commercial airlines. 'Transportation incidents for all modes claimed 44,546 lives in 2022, of which all but 2,032 involved highway motor vehicles. Preliminary estimates for 2023 suggest a further decline in fatalities,' the 2024 Transportation Statistics Report from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics said. 'There were no deaths from crashes on large commercial airlines in 2023, but several hundred deaths occurred in crashes in general aviation, commuter air, and air taxi services.'
