SOUTH BEND DOUBLES DOWN ON LAS VEGAS AS ALLEGIANT AIR INCREASES FLIGHTS
WITH INTRODUCTORY $69* FARE

(Las Vegas, Nev.)– In response to the strong demands of the South Bend, Ind. market, low-cost Allegiant Air, LLC, today announced that it will double the number of nonstop flights to Las Vegas. To kick off the new four-day-a-week service, Allegiant will offer a limited time $69* one-way fare.

“South Bend’s 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 in the Michiana community get to the fun and excitement of Las Vegas. We are confident that this new schedule will have great appeal.”

The expanded service will begin Nov. 10 and will offer nonstop service to Las Vegas Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday. Service from South Bend began Aug. 5 with flights Monday and Friday. New flights depart South Bend Regional Airport at 2:40 p.m. arriving in Las Vegas at 3:40 p.m. Flights leaving Las Vegas will depart at 7:20 a.m. arriving in South Bend at 2:00 p.m. (all flight times are local). Allegiant also recently announced new nonstop service to Orlando scheduled to begin Nov. 16.

"This is terrific news,” John Schalliol, South Bend Regional Airport director, said. “It really shows the strength of the South Bend market. We are delighted to have Allegiant expanding their services here and look forward to a long term relationship with this airline and potentially developing routes to other cities as well."
