Spirit Airlines to Offer Flights to Port-au-Prince
In today's competitive airline industry carriers have to think outside of the box, be sharper than a razor's edge and fly to destinations where many dare not to go. As of recent, the low-cost carrier, Spirit Airlines, has filed an application with the federal government to fly out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL and into Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Me, personally, I think the news is great and will be all the merrier if things go in favor for Spirit Airlines. First off, it would make the carrier the only big U.S. low-cost airline to offer regularly scheduled service to Haiti. Secondly, I live only a few hours drive from Ft. Lauderdale and I wouldn't mind checking out Haiti for a weekend or so. However, this short news update from USA Today's blog gets mixed reviews and heated in the comments. If the news sounds good to you keep your fingers crossed or just go check out what some of the other people seem to think about traveling to Haiti.

This is just great. I live in Chicago and sometimes it is just ridiculous how expensive it is to buy an airplane ticket from american airlines. Now that spirit has enter the market, Haitian will have another alternative. This will break the monopoly by American airlines and as a results will bring prices down

A great idea.
Being that American only flys to Port au Prince from the United States
I think they should have services to PAP from NYC as well.
Spirit has horrible customer service though.
