Spirit offers Hub flyers Trinidad option

Spirit Airlines Inc. is starting Boston to Trinidad air service via its Fort Lauderdale hub June 12.

The discounter already offers flights from here to a couple dozen destinations, mostly in Florida and the Caribbean.

To kick things off they (of the we-charge-for-checked-bags-and-just-about-everything-else) are advertising fares as low as 5 cents a seat (That deal ends today and involves flights between Fort Lauderdale and Port of Spain. Spirit is, however, also offering 5-cent-a-mile fares out of Logan, but those also end today and travel for those must take place on Tuesdays or Wednesdays between June 14 and Oct. 31).

Anyway, consider this an FYI. For more on Spirit, click here.
