VIVA LAS VEGAS!
MIDAMERICA ST. LOUIS AIRPORT DOUBLES DOWN ON LAS VEGAS; ALLEGIANT AIR INCREASES WEEKLY FLIGHTS WITH INTRODUCTORY $69* FARE

(Las Vegas, Nev.) – In response to the strong demands of the St. Louis and Southern Illinois market, low-cost Allegiant Air, LLC, today announced that it will double the number of nonstop flights to Las Vegas each week, even before inaugurating service. To kick off the new four-day-a-week service, Allegiant will offer a limited-time $69* one-way fare when booked at www.allegiantair.com. The new service begins April 29, and the expanded schedule will begin June 30.

“St. Louis and Southern Illinois response to our brand of low-fare, nonstop, all-jet service has exceeded our expectations,” Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant Air president & CEO, said. “We are pleased to announce the addition of two more weekly flights that will help twice as many customers get to the fun and excitement of Las Vegas. We are confident that this new schedule will have great appeal.”

The new service will begin April 29 with flights twice weekly until June 30, when the four-day-a-week schedule will begin with flights Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday. Flights will depart MidAmerica at 9:05 p.m. arriving in Las Vegas at 10:35 p.m. Flights leaving Las Vegas will depart at 3:10 p.m. arriving at St. Louis at 8:25 p.m. (all flight times are local). The new service was announced March 8.

“We are very pleased to expand support for Allegiant Air’s nonstop service to Las Vegas,” Mark Kern, St. Clair County Board Chairman, said. “We are confident that our community will fill these seats.”

Allegiant’s $69* one-way introductory fare must be purchased by May 27, 2005, and is valid for travel June 30 through Sept. 30, 2005. To take advantage of this expanded service, reservations can be made on the airline’s website at www.allegiantair.com, through the airline’s Reservations and Information Center at 800-432-3810, or through professional travel agents.

The carrier will utilize a full-size, 150-seat MD-80 jet aircraft on the route.
