Allegiant Airlines announced eight new nonstop routes to 13 cities around the country at extremely low rates. One of those new routes includes a nonstop flight to Florida from Flint Bishop International Airport for just $59.

Before you get overly excited, keep in mind that the low fare of $59 is for a one-way nonstop flight to Florida Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport from Flint Bishop International Airport. You have to admit, that is still a killer deal. I've been doing a lot of traveling lately, and I can tell you, that's pretty hard to beat.

The new routes come at a time of high demand.

The flights from Bishop to Destin-Fort Walton Beach begin Nov. 15.

There is another low-fare flight out of Grand Rapids that flies to Palm Beach International Airport for only $69.

 Drew Wells, Allegiant's chief revenue officer:

The addition of new routes is a testament to the success of our existing service in these communities.

Our network planning team is responsive to consumer demand, constantly looking for opportunities to enhance the leisure travel experience. The new service kicks off just in time to plan warm winter getaways to sought-after coastal destinations.

There’s an important detail about these flights you should be aware of. According to Allegiant, tickets must be purchased by July 17, 2024, for travel by February 10, 2025. So, you'll need to book your flight today... yes, today. Another good thing is that the price includes taxes, carrier charges, and government fees. You may incur additional baggage fees if applicable.
