More Vegas flights take off from Cleveland

• Frontier and Southwest also fly nonstop between Cleveland and Las Vegas, giving travelers three airline choices on the popular leisure route.

Between the lines: Las Vegas has historically been one of Hopkins' most popular nonstop destinations, giving airlines an incentive to replace capacity lost when Spirit disappeared.

• Spirit's pullback had an outsized effect at Hopkins even before its exit. The airline's Cleveland seat capacity was down 88% year over year in November 2024.

The big picture: United has been growing again at its former Cleveland hub, adding flights and destinations while remaining the airport's largest carrier.

What's next: United's Vegas flights will operate daily, except Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

• The airline will add another warm-weather escape Dec. 3, launching seasonal nonstop service to Miami five days a week.
