ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Flying from St. Louis to a number of vacation destination cities around the U.S. just got a lot easier. A Spirit Airlines flight touched down in St. Louis and left for Los Angeles on Thursday for the first time.

The airline also announced today that new daily flights from St. Louis Lambert International Airpot (STL) to Fort Myers (RSW), Phoenix (PHX) and Tampa (TPA) along with Cancun (CUN) will begin in November and December of this year. It comes after daily flights to Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Orlando (MCO), Las Vegas (LAS) and Los Angeles (LAX) and Pensacola (PNS) were announced earlier this year.

Here's a schedule of when Spirit Airlines will begin flying daily out of St. Louis:

Spirit flight 1157 was the airline’s first departure from St. Louis and left under a water cannon salute with nonstop service to Los Angeles.

“Today is a great day for our airport,” said Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, STL Airport Director. “Not only does Spirit begin service to five destinations from St. Louis, but Spirit is doubling down on their commitment to St. Louis Lambert International with the announcement of new service to four more cities.”
