(Belleville, Ill.)— First Vegas, now Orlando. Allegiant Air, LLC today announces new, nonstop jet service to the fun and sun of Orlando, Fla. from MidAmerica St. Louis Airport beginning Feb. 1, 2006. The same airline that recently brought St. Louis and Southern Illinois low-fare, nonstop service to Las Vegas, will now offer low-cost, nonstop service to Orlando, with introductory fares as low as $59* each way, when booked at www.allegiantair.com.

The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service from MidAmerica St. Louis Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport with complete vacation packages including roundtrip air and three-night hotel stay for as low as $202**. (Three-night hotel stay at the Rodeway Inn-Maingate, price is per person, based on double occupancy, reflects a Wednesday departure and Saturday return by March 31, 2006 and may not be available on every flight.)

“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 the MidAmerica and the Sunshine State.”

The new flights will operate twice weekly, with service Wednesday and Saturday. Flights will depart MidAmerica at 6:05 p.m. arriving in Orlando at 9:20 p.m. Flights leaving Orlando will depart at 4:10 p.m. arriving in

MidAmerica at 5:30 p.m. (all flight times are local.) Allegiant will utilize 130-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route.

“We’re really excited to partner with Allegiant Air for service to Orlando,” St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern said. “All of Southern Illinois knows Allegiant’s great service, and we’re ready to load up for sunshine in Florida!”

"Allegiant Air’s service expansion to Orlando from MidAmerica St. Louis Airport is a great move based on our known market there,” Tim Cantwell, Airport Director for MidAmerica said. “Our community members will love flying Allegiant to the Florida sunshine.”
