Hundreds of thousands of budget flyers relied on Spirit for their Disney World vacations and general travel. A campaign has even been created to revive Spirit Airlines! But just in case the beloved yellow Airbus is gone for good, here are four great alternatives for your next Orlando trip.

Frontier Airlines

Frontier Airlines is an ultra-low-cost airline that offers 50 direct routes from the Orlando International Airport. The airline already offers multiple flights at Orlando that Spirit previously flew, including major cities such as New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Chicago.

Following Spirit’s closure, Frontier Airlines announced that it will add nine routes and 15 daily flights this year out of the Orlando International Airport. Frontier Airlines is the best airline for Spirit flyers since they offer most of the same direct routes at a similar, if not lower, price.
