With the recent demise of Spirit Airlines, many carriers are adding flights to destinations where Spirit used to fly.

Breeze Airways, which recently came to Atlantic City International Airport, announced it would be picking up a bunch of the former Spirit destinations and would begin adding them throughout 2026.

Another new carrier, Allegiant Air, which just started flights from ACY in 2025, will also be flying to some former Spirit destinations. Allegiant flies from ACY to multiple Florida destinations (Sanford/Orlando, Fort Lauderdale/Miami, Punta Gorda/Fort Myers, and St. Pete-Clearwater) and added Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, beginning on May 21.

These new options give South Jersey residents even more options with Spirit Air going out of business. Allegiant now serves three airports within a two-hour radius, giving travelers plenty of options for flying.

From ACY to St. Pete-Clearwater: A Faster Path to the Beach

Back in March, I took the ACY flight to St. Pete-Clearwater, and it was very convenient.  St. Pete-Clearwater is a smaller airport than Tampa, so I was in and out quickly.  Locals who like to travel to Clearwater Beach, this is a more convenient flight than going to Tampa, it is faster and easier to get to the Beach than it is from the Tampa airport.

With Spirit leaving, it appears these carriers are continuing to add destinations, at discounted rates, giving South Jersey travelers more inexpensive options.
