SYRACUSE, N.Y. Feb. 13, 2015 — Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) today celebrates the start of low-cost, non-stop flights from Syracuse to Fort Lauderdale, offering residents another opportunity to escape the cold and head south. Known for its affordable and convenient travel deals, Allegiant is celebrating the new service by offering one-way fares as low as $92.

Fort Lauderdale is Allegiant’s third destination from Syracuse and will join Tampa Bay and seasonal service to Myrtle Beach. Starting with just two weekly flights from Syracuse in November 2013, Allegiant will operate up to six weekly flights from Syracuse during the peak summer travel period this year.

“We’re thrilled to offer Syracuse travelers even more ways to enjoy fun and sun,” said Jude Bricker, Allegiant Travel Company senior vice president of planning. “We’re sure they’ll appreciate our outstanding vacation deals and the convenience of non-stop travel to South Florida.”

For a limited time, travelers can save even more by using the promo code WELCOME40** to get an extra $40 off an air+hotel Fort Lauderdale vacation package with a minimum three-night stay.

The new Fort Lauderdale flights will operate twice weekly between Syracuse Hancock Regional Airport (SYR) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Flight days, times and the lowest fares can be found only at Allegiant.com.

“When the temperature is in the single digits and snow is falling two inches per hour, a long weekend in Fort Lauderdale sounds like the perfect escape,” said Christina R. Callahan, executive director, Syracuse Airport.  “With the addition of Fort Lauderdale, the Allegiant Travel Company is now serving three leisure destinations from Syracuse.  We are thrilled to see Allegiant continue to grow their presence in our market.”

Starting with just one aircraft and one route, Allegiant’s innovative business model has allowed it to grow and offer low-cost travel access to 100 communities nationwide, more than any other domestic low-cost carrier. Allegiant travelers can enjoy unique savings by bundling their air, hotel, car and even activity and attraction reservations together for less.

Located in the center of Florida’s Gold Coast, Fort Lauderdale offers the ultimate escape to sunny South Florida. Allegiant partners with more than 20 of the area’s most exciting hotel properties, provides low-cost car rental service through its partnership with Alamo Rent a Car, and offers great deals on local activities. Syracuse travelers can book their entire Fort Lauderdale vacation for less by visiting Allegiant.com.
