Tri-Cities residents get ready to soak up the sun in South Florida! Allegiant Air today inaugurates the only nonstop service from the Tri-Cities Regional Airport to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. To celebrate the launch of Tri-Cities only nonstop service to South Florida, the low-fare carrier is offering flights as low as $49* each-way.

"We are extremely pleased to offer the Tri-Cities communities yet another Florida vacation destination," Maurice J. Gallagher Jr., Allegiant Travel Company president and CEO, said. "This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we launch the only nonstop, all-jet service between the Tri-Cities and South Florida."

The new flights will operate two times weekly, with service Wednesday and Saturday. Flights will depart Tri-Cities at 4:10 p.m. arriving in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 6:05 p.m. Flights leaving Fort Lauderdale will depart at 1:35 p.m. arriving in Tri-Cities at 3:35 p.m. (all flight times are local.) Allegiant began service to Orlando, Fla. May 17.

"Tri-Cities Regional Airport and Allegiant Air have had a highly successful partnership since the carrier launched Tri-Cities’ Orlando Sanford service last spring," said Patrick Wilson, executive director, Tri-Cities Regional Airport. "We are extremely pleased that now, due to the community’s enthusiastic response to Allegiant’s low fares, the airline has chosen to begin nonstop, low fare service between Tri-Cities and Fort Lauderdale International Airport. With all the wonderful cruise and vacation opportunities available in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas, we fully expect this new service to be just as successful,"

Fort Lauderdale offers the ultimate escape to sunny South Florida, with miles of blue waterways, soft golden sand and gentle ocean breezes. Located in the center of South Florida's Gold Coast, 40 miles from Palm Beach and 25 miles from Miami, Fort Lauderdale stretches from Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach in the north to Hollywood and Hallandale Beach in the south. The area offers 300 miles of navigable inland waterways and 44,000 resident yachts, making it recognized as the "Yachting Capital of the World" and the "Venice of America." From the Blue Wave beaches, to the yacht-filled waterways, to the exotic Everglades, every visit is a fresh taste of paradise.

The airline commented market research and input from local community leaders indicate the Tri-Cities will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Fort Lauderdale as an alternative to connecting flights and long drives to other airports. Allegiant will utilize 130-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route.

The Allegiant Vacations division of the company allows customers to double their sunshine fun with complete vacation packages with more than 20 area resorts, including hotels in the Fort Lauderdale, Miami/South Beach, Palm Beach and The Keys. Partner properties include Hyatt Regency Bonaventure, Sheraton Yankee Clipper/Trader, Westin Fort Lauderdale, Holiday Inn Express and Candlewood Suites.
