MIRAMAR, FL (July 16, 2014) - You've seen the billboards. Maybe you even saw the crop circle north of Kansas City International Airport. Now it's time to learn how you can save money on airfares as Spirit Airlines brings its Bare Fare™ to the region.

This weekend there are many opportunities to get to know more about the ultra-low cost airline that is changing the way people think about flying, and how they are different from other airlines. Spirit representatives will be at several local events, and you will have numerous opportunities to get FREE SPIRIT miles toward award travel.

"We're excited about coming to Kansas City and saving customers money on air travel," say Spirit's CEO Ben Baldanza. "This weekend's activities are about having fun, introducing our airline and low fares to the people of this great city, and giving them an opportunity to receive FREE SPIRIT miles."

Spirit Airlines offers fares that are fully unbundled. No "free" bag. No "free" drink. Other airlines bake those options right into their ticket price. Spirit gives the customers control over which options they want, and they never have to pay for someone else's "free" bags. For more information on Spirit, you can go to spirit.com/kc.

Spirit will begin service to MCI on August 7, 2014 with daily non-stop flights to and from Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, and Houston, along with connections to nine other destinations.
