LAS VEGAS, NV (KXNT) - Las Vegas-based Allegiant Airlines on Tuesday announced 44 new nonstop routes, including 14 routes to three new cities: Chicago, Boston and Houston.
Even though the airline is based in Las Vegas, the expansion included no new routes that included McCarran International Airport.
To celebrate the largest expansion in Allegiant's history, the company is offering one-way fares on the new routes as low as $33.
"There is a lot of leisure demand for cities that are regional destinations, and this route expansion will address some of that need," said Drew Wells, Allegiant vice president of planning and revenue. "Also, this growth is about Allegiant being true to our mission as a company. We're increasing the number of low-cost, affordable travel options for people who may otherwise be priced out of air travel."
Allegiant's expanded schedule is expected to take off in May.
