Summary
Allegiant Air is expanding its presence in South Florida by launching four new routes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), which was previously Spirit Airlines’ home base. The new routes include service to Boston, Kansas City, and other major cities. Allegiant is also growing in other parts of Florida, with new service from Orlando Sanford International Airport and Punta Gorda Airport. The airline’s expansion comes after it closed on its acquisition of Sun Country Airlines.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Allegiant’s new routes promise a break from the usual routine, with destinations like Boston and Kansas City joining the mix. But with great planning comes great competition, as JetBlue has also moved quickly to add service from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. It’s a case of “authenticity scheduled by time slot,” as travelers can now choose from a variety of routes and airlines. And with Wi-Fi available on most flights, the “escape” is just a click away.
But let’s be real, the real “hidden gem” here is the ability to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Omaha, Nebraska, without having to change planes in a major hub. Now that’s what we call a “blast from the past.”
