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.

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.

Air France says it will start offering direct flights between the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris next year, according to a company news release. The seasonal service will run from May 21 to Sept. 1 next year.

Great Lakes Airlines is taking over for Delta, which is discontinuing flights between the Twin Cities and South Dakota's Capitol city at the end of January. Pierre's mayor is hoping the airline will add a second daily round-trip flight in the future.
