AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAirline Shake-Up: After Spirit’s shutdown, low-cost carriers are racing to fill seats—Southwest is expanding at Orlando (new U.S. and international routes plus more frequency), and Breeze is adding nonstop options that keep pushing into the Caribbean, including new St. Thomas service (Atlantic City → St. Thomas starting Dec. 16) and Tampa → St. Thomas/Cancun (Dec. 16 and Dec. 19). Travel Planning Watch: Expect more route announcements as airlines re-route demand away from Spirit-heavy airports like Orlando and Fort Lauderdale. On-Island Angle: If you’re flying to the U.S. Virgin Islands, these new nonstops could mean fewer connections and more schedule choices this winter. Elsewhere This Week: A separate story dominated headlines—Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick faced intense questions over Jeffrey Epstein ties—but it’s not directly tied to Virgin Islands travel.
