Sioux Falls Regional Airport is bringing back another California city to its nonstop destinations.

Allegiant Air will begin nonstop flights from Sioux Falls to San Diego, as well as back, beginning in May, according to a press release from the company.

The round-trip flights from Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD) to San Diego, California via San Diego International Airport (SAN) begin May 19.

What days will be in service have not yet been announced, but the new route is kicking off with fare deals as low as $59 for a one-way trip. The new route is part of a nine-route expansion across Allegiant’s network, launching just in time for vacations.
