The one-a-day flights are heavily utilized by snowbirds who come back and forth to South Florida from the greater Atlantic City area, which includes the southern New Jersey region near Philadelphia.

The Atlantic City service resumed on Dec. Spirit has traditionally offered service to Atlantic City only during the winter months but a spokeswoman, Nicole Aguiar, told The Post that bookings were strong enough to justify continuing service into the summer. Spirit Airlines will offer non-stop service from Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) to Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) through the summer.
