ALLEGIANT AIR ANNOUNCES NEW NONSTOP SERVICE TO ORLANDO FROM DES MOINES, IA.
Now the Official Airline for Sunshine Offers Nonstop Service to Both Orlando and Las Vegas

(Des Moines, IA., March 31, 2005)— Allegiant Air, LLC today announced new, nonstop jet service to the fun and sun of Orlando, Fla. from Des Moines, IA. Beginning May 26, the same airline that brought the Des Moines community low-fare, service to Las Vegas now offers low-cost, nonstop service to Orlando, with introductory fares as low as $69* one-way.

The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service from Des Moines International Airport (Des Moines) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Orlando) with complete vacation packages including air, hotel and car rental starting as low as $261** for three nights, per person based on double occupancy.

“We are extremely pleased to expand the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop, jet service to Orlando,” Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant Air president & CEO, said. “This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we launch the only scheduled nonstop service between Des Moines and Orlando.”

The new flights will operate four times weekly, with service Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Flights will depart Des Moines at 5:05 p.m. arriving in Orlando at 9 p.m. Flights leaving Orlando will depart at
2:45 p.m. arriving in Des Moines at 4:30 p.m. (all flight times are local.) Allegiant will utilize full-size, 130-seat MD-87 jet aircraft on the route.

"Allegiant expanding its service is another example of airlines responding to a community's support of its airport and the carriers that serve it,” Bob Hagener, Aviation Director for Des Moines International Airport, said. “The more people who use this airport, the more service choices they are going to see."

The airline said that its strong demand from current customers and input from local community leaders indicates that the Des Moines area will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Orlando as an alternative to connecting flights or long drives to other airports.

"Allegiant is a trusted partner and we are happy they have decided to provide this nonstop service for the travelers of central Iowa,” Roy Criss, spokesman for Des Moines International Airport, said . “Nonstop service is the hallmark of a healthy airport and we look forward to being a part of Allegiant's continued growth."

The Allegiant Vacations division of the company will offer low-cost packages with 18 of Orlando’s most exciting hotel properties and three in Daytona Beach. Partner properties include The Swan, The Dolphin, The Hilton in Lake Buena Vista and the Radisson Parkway. Low-cost packages are available to include hotel, car and amusement park tickets for additional savings.

Reservations may be made beginning April 4, 2005 and can be made through the company’s website at www.allegiantair.com, the airline’s Reservations Center at 800-432-3810, or professional travel agents.
