Spirit Airlines Adds Nonstop Flights from MKE to Detroit
Low-fare flights recently added to Los Angeles, Baltimore and Nashville
MILWAUKEE (April 16, 2025) – Spirit Airlines will add new nonstop service between Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) and Detroit, Michigan beginning June 13.
“At less than an hour of flight time, these new flights to the Motor City are significantly faster than dealing with the six-hour drive and Chicago traffic delays,” Airport Director Brian Dranzik said. “With these new flights, travelers can fly from our hometown airport and enjoy low fares on weekend trips to Detroit this summer.”
Spirit’s latest new route comes on the heels of last month’s announcement of new flights between Milwaukee and Los Angeles, Baltimore, and Nashville.
In addition, Spirit is making these new Milwaukee flights affordable with introductory fares as low as $37 each way. The new flights will operate to/from MKE twice per week. The links below detail the specific schedules for each of the recent route additions:
- Detroit (DTW) Fridays and Mondays beginning June 13
- Los Angeles (LAX) Thursdays and Sundays beginning May 8
- Baltimore (BWI) Fridays and Mondays beginning May 9
- Nashville (BNA) Fridays and Mondays beginning May 9
Giving MKE travelers more options in 2025, Spirit now offers nonstop flights from Milwaukee to/from nine locations: Baltimore, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, and Tampa. (Note: some destinations are served seasonally.)
Spirit’s new flights from MKE will be operated with Airbus A320 aircraft featuring eight “Big Front Seats” and 174 standard seats. All flights are available for booking now at Spirit.com or on the Spirit Airlines mobile app.
Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport offers nonstop flights to 30+ destinations coast-to-coast, and more than 200 international destinations are available with one easy connection. MKE is served by Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, Sun Country, and United. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at flymke.com.
MKE, the winner of 2021 and 2022 ASQ Best Airport – North America awards for outstanding customer experience, is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The Airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the Airport’s capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.
