Here are the costs for the introductory one-way fares, and how often they’ll go per week, when the new routes launch.

- Flights from Savannah to Fort Lauderdale four times per week starting Oct. 9 at $79
- Flights from Savannah to Nashville three times per week starting Oct. 9 at $59
- Flights from Savannah to Detroit twice per week starting Oct. 10 at $79
“We have been working hard to get Spirit to add SAV to their route structure,” Greg Kelly, Executive Director of the Savannah Airport Commission, said in a statement. “We believe Spirit is a great fit for our market, and the cities they are adding will be a strong addition for our community and region. We appreciate Spirit for adding us to their system, and we will work hard to ensure their success and growth here in SAV.”
