Allegiant adds another flight from Knoxville to Orlando. How to book it for as low as $49
Missing the Florida sunshine as winter approaches? There's a new and cheap way to get to Florida from Knoxville next year.
Allegiant Air is adding Orlando International Airport to its services out of McGhee Tyson Airport, and to celebrate its first added destination in over a year, the airline is offering one-way tickets as low as $49 on select flights out of Knoxville.
To get the deal, you must book through allegiant.com by Nov. 17 for travel through Aug. 12, 2024. The Allegiant flights to Orlando International Airport begin May 17 and will run on Mondays and Fridays.
Orlando International Airport is centrally located in the popular tourist destination, and much closer to Walt Disney World than Orlando Sanford International Airport.
McGhee Tyson already offers some flights to Orlando International Airport through Frontier Airlines and to Orlando Sanford International Airport through Allegiant.
Here's how to get your cheap flight before times runs out.
What days can I get a $49 flight from Knoxville to Orlando?
There are currently seven days next spring and summer when you can get a $49 one-way flight to Orlando if you book by Nov. 17:
Monday, May 20
Friday, June 7
Monday, June 10
Friday, June 14
Friday, July 12
Friday, July 19
Friday, August 9
If you booked a trip to Orlando for June 10-14, the round-trip total per person would be $98 before baggage fees.
Allegiant offers each traveler a free personal item, such as a backpack or a purse, but charges for carry-on and checked luggage. Make sure you read over the airline's baggage fees policy before you book to avoid surprise charges.
Of the 27 nonstop destinations out of McGhee Tyson Airport, 15 are already serviced by Allegiant, an ultra low-cost carrier that has been instrumental in helping Knoxville's airport recover from the pandemic with record passenger numbers. The airline made Knoxville a regional hub in 2018.
“The addition of Orlando International Airport expands our regional footprint to serve the southeast metropolitan area, providing visitors and residents even more travel options to make the most out of their vacations," said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s senior vice president of revenue and planning.
