All new routes utilize 184-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft based at the Texas airport.

Introductory one-way fares for the Fort Lauderdale route start at $99. Bookings made through July include a complimentary first checked bag. Reservations are available through the airline’s website. Details regarding specific ticket availability beyond the introductory price or long-term schedule adjustments remain not yet clear.
