MIRAMAR, Fla., Aug. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The cost of air travel will be a lot less and come earlier than expected in some cities. Spirit Airlines (Nasdaq:SAVE) will take delivery of some of its Fit Fleet™ planes sooner than originally planned and has moved up the start date for daily flights in five routes.
