Spirit Airlines is now offering direct service between the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and Denver International Airport, according to a news release.

The Florida-based low-fare, high-free carrier first announced plans to expand its Twin Cities service last summer.

The Denver Post says Southwest Airlines and Frontier Airlines already fly the daily nonstop route.

Spirit made its Twin Cities debut last spring with daily flights to Chicago and Las Vegas. It added flights between MSP and Dallas-Forth Worth earlier month.

Twitter is abuzz with news that Spirit Airlines is joining the Twin Cities airport. The carrier calls itself an ultra-low-cost option, but writers at the Washington Post and USA Today warn travelers to watch out for hefty fees.

Spirit Airlines is already expanding its service out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Starting in April 2013, Spirit will add non-stop flights to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The Florida-based airline will also offer seasonal non-stop service to Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers between Nov. 8 through April 24, 2013. Spirit debuted in the Twin Cities market less than two months ago with daily flights to Chicago and Las Vegas.

The Wyoming-based airline plans to offer flights to 14 destinations from the Twin Cities by the end of the year, according to the Star Tribune. Great Lakes Airlines is looking to profit from rural routes large carriers have abandoned by eliminating soft drinks, flight attendants and bathrooms.
