The self-proclaimed "Official Airline for Sunshine" will launch the new scheduled service from McGhee Tyson Airport to Orlando Sanford International Airport with complete vacation packages including roundtrip air and three-night hotel stay for as low as $182**. (Price is per person, based on three-night hotel stay at the Rodeway Inn-Maingate, double occupancy and reflects a Tuesday or Friday departure.)

"We are extremely pleased to again expand the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the East Tennessee community," Maurice J. Gallagher, Allegiant Air president & CEO, said. "This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we launch yet another way to get to the sun and fun of Florida and the only scheduled service between Knoxville and Orlando."

Allegiant Air will also begin nonstop, low-cost air service from Knoxville to the Tampa Bay area Dec. 13 and to Las Vegas Feb. 15, 2007.

As the only low-cost air service between Knoxville and the Sunshine State, Allegiant will utilize 150-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route.
