Get Away to Tampa Bay

Lehigh Valley Residents Get Away with Allegiant Air

Airline Celebrates the First Flight with Special $69* One-Way Offer

Lehigh Valley, PA—Lehigh Valley residents now have a way to get away to the beaches of the sunny Tampa Bay area as low-fare airline, Allegiant Air, LLC kicks off the only nonstop service from Lehigh Valley International Airport to the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport. To celebrate, the low-cost airline is offering a special $69* one-way limited-time fare to the Tampa Bay area.

"We are extremely pleased to offer Lehigh Valley residents another Florida vacation destination," 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 nonstop, all-jet service between the Lehigh Valley and the Tampa Bay area."

The new flights operate four times weekly, with service Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Flights depart Lehigh Valley International Airport at 5:55 p.m. arriving in St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport at 8:25 p.m. Flights leaving St. Petersburg-Clearwater depart at 2:50 p.m. arriving in the Lehigh Valley at 5:20 p.m. (all flight times are local.)

"We are very pleased that Allegiant Air has expanded their commitment to the Lehigh Valley by adding St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay service," stated George F. Doughty, Executive Director, for the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority. "Allegiant's reliable and affordable service has been a big hit with travelers between the Lehigh Valley and central Florida. We are confident the greater Lehigh Valley community will find this new service a great way to reach Florida's west coast."

Allegiant Air began service to Orlando Dec. 16, 2005. Since the inauguration, the low-cost airline has increased the number of flights to Orlando two times, offering seven flights a week.

The $69* sale fares are available for a limited time and must be purchased by Nov. 25, 2006 at an Allegiant airport ticket counter for travel completed by Feb. 3, 2007. Reservations may be made through the company's website at www.allegiantair.com, the airline's Reservations Center at 702-505-8888 or professional travel agents.

With an average 361 days of sunshine each year, the St. Petersburg-Clearwater area is considered the most popular vacation destination on Florida's West Coast. The area was named among the top beaches in the United States and is one of a few destinations to have received the "Blue Wave Award" from the Clean Beaches Council. In addition to pristine beaches, visitors are within minutes of shopping, amazing golf courses and award-winning resort and dining experiences.

The airline said its strong demand from current customers and input from local community leaders indicates the Lehigh Valley area will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to the Tampa Bay area. The new St. Petersburg-Clearwater service will offer the community another low-cost alternative to connecting flights and long drives.

The Allegiant Vacations division of the company will allow customers to double their sunshine fun with complete vacation packages at some of the area's premier resorts, including Alden Beach Resort, Belleview Biltmore, Don CeSar, Hilton Clearwater Beach, Innisbrook Beach Resort, Mariott Suites on Sand Key and Sheraton Sand Key.
