Spirit to launch daily flights between TPA and Milwaukee

Spirit is the third airline at TPA to offer service to Milwaukee, capitalizing on the recent boom of Midwest visitors jetting to Florida in recent months.

In the first quarter of this year, the Tampa Bay area has seen a huge increase in the number of visitors from the Milwaukee area. In the first few months of 2021, the number of people flying or driving from Milwaukee to the St. Pete-Clearwater area has increased 101 percent compared to the same period in 2019, according to Visit St. Pete/Clearwater’s data partner Arrivalist. Overall, there’s been an explosion of Midwest visitors flocking to the Tampa Bay area beaches and attractions, and airlines have added several new TPA routes to meet this demand.

The Spirit flights launch on Nov. 17 and will be offered daily out of Airside A.
