LATROBE, Pa. — Spirit Airlines announced direct, nonstop service from Latrobe to Las Vegas Monday.
The new daily service from Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe to Las Vegas will start April 16, 2015.
"Nonstop flights to fabulous Las Vegas are sure to be popular with our customers in Western Pennsylvania," said Mark Kopczak, Spirit Airlines vice president of Network Planning. "Spirit's low Bare Fare with Frill Control allows our customers to save up to 40 percent, on average, on their total price for air travel, which means there's more for them to spend on the wide variety of entertainment and hotel options when they arrive in Las Vegas."
Spirit currently offers year-round flights to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, with seasonal service to Myrtle Beach, Fort Myers starting Dec. 18 and Tampa starting Dec. 19.
"We're convinced that this new destination is going to be immensely popular" said Gabe Monzo, Westmoreland County Airport Authority executive director.
"When Spirit gets this route up and running, we will be doing four very popular flights every day. It's going to be crazy around here, but that's the kind of crazy we like. We can't wait."
"I am really pleased with this latest development," said Latrobe's most famous citizen, Arnold Palmer. "Things just keep getting better at the airport.
This new daily service Spirit Airlines is starting to Las Vegas next spring opens up the West for us and should be very popular."
"We are thrilled that our partners at Spirit continue to expand service to Las Vegas," said Cathy Tull, senior vice president of marketing for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor's Authority.
