ALLEGIANT AIR ANNOUNCES NONSTOP FLIGHTS FROM ALLENTOWN TO FORT LAUDERDALE FOR $69* (Allentown, Penn.)--- Lehigh Valley residents will soon have yet another way to get to the sun as Allegiant Air, LLC announces new, nonstop jet service to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. from the Lehigh Valley International Airport beginning Nov. 14. The low-fare carrier will celebrate the convenient new service to sunny South Florida with introductory fares as low as $69* each-way. "We are extremely pleased to again expand the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service to the Lehigh Valley community," Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., president, CEO and Chairman for Allegiant said. "This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we celebrate yet another way to get to the sun of Florida and launch the only nonstop service between the Lehigh Valley and Fort Lauderdale." The new flights will operate three times weekly, with service Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Flights will depart Lehigh Valley International Airport at 4:15 p.m. arriving in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport at 6:50 p.m. Flights leaving Fort Lauderdale will depart at 12:30 p.m. arriving in Allentown at 3:05 p.m. (all flight times are local.) Fort Lauderdale offers the ultimate escape to sunny South Florida, with miles of blue waterways, soft golden sand and gentle ocean breezes. Located in the center of South Florida's Gold Coast, 40 miles from Palm Beach and 25 miles from Miami, Fort Lauderdale stretches from Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach in the north to Hollywood and Hallandale Beach in the south. The area offers 300 miles of navigable inland waterways and 44,000 resident yachts, making it recognized as the "Yachting Capital of the World" and the "Venice of America." From the Blue Wave beaches, to the yacht-filled waterways, to the exotic Everglades, every visit is a fresh taste of paradise. This is the third destination Allegiant serves from Allentown. The airline began service to Orlando Dec. 16, 2005 and service to the Tampa Bay area Nov. 16, 2006. "This is great news for both the leisure and business travelers who are looking for convenient access to Florida at a very reasonable fare," commented George F. Doughty, Executive Director of the Lehigh Northampton Airport Authority. He continued, "We are pleased to be one of the first cities announced by Allegiant that are linked to their new Fort Lauderdale destination. We expect the same great response from Lehigh Valley residents for Allegiant on this route as they have seen on the flights to Orlando and Tampa Bay." The airline commented market research and input from local community leaders indicate the Lehigh Valley community will welcome the new nonstop flights and low-fares to South Florida as an alternative to connecting flights and long drives to other airports. Allegiant will utilize 150-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route.
