The longest and shortest Spirit Airlines A320 flights

The two ends of the type's working envelope, from the routes it actually flew — not what the airframe is certified to do.

Longest route flown

2,227 mi

Newark – Las Vegas (EWRLAS)

5h 2m block · 153 departures · 86% load

Flown by Spirit Airlines. A long leg for a narrow-body twin — far enough from a diversion airport that the type carries an ETOPS rating.

Shortest route flown

177 mi

Fort Lauderdale – Orlando (FLLMCO)

1h 5m block · 743 departures · 71% load

Flown by Spirit Airlines. Also one of the type's busiest routes anywhere in the US — a short hop worked like a bus line.
