Allegiant Air has been on an expansion blitz in 2025, and just announced its latest new city: Fort Myers, Florida.<\/p>\n

Starting in November, the budget carrier will launch brand-new nonstop service out of Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) with flights to three cities: Allenton, Pennsylvania; Appleton, Wisconsin and Des Moines, Iowa.<\/p>\n

For Allegiant, Fort Myers is a new airport in a region it’s very familiar with.<\/p>\n

The carrier already boasts an extensive route network out of Punta Gorda, less than 40 miles to the north of RSW, in Florida’s Charlotte County.<\/p>\n

Those three new flights from Florida’s coast are part of a larger, seven-route expansion unveiled Monday evening by the airline, which is known for its service between smaller cities and vacation destinations \u2014 some lesser known.<\/p>\n

Also getting new Allegiant flights on Monday: the Gulf Coast of Alabama, along with cities in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa \u2014 not to mention New Orleans.<\/p>\n

All of the new flights launch in mid-November, ahead of this year’s holiday travel season.<\/p>\n

A growth year in 2025<\/h2>\n

For Allegiant, these new routes launching in November continues a year that’s seen the airline do plenty of new flying, including a blockbuster 44-route expansion<\/a> the carrier first announced last year.<\/p>\n

It’s part of the carrier’s tried-and-true strategy, doubling down on places like Gulf Shores \u2014 a new-in-2025 destination along Alabama’s Gulf Coast, miles from the Florida panhandle.<\/p>\n

“It’s a perfect destination spot for the Allegiant network,” chief commercial officer Drew Wells said, speaking on July 9 from the carrier’s Vegas headquarters.<\/p>\n

“We know that there are hundreds of folks that are driving four, six, even 12 hours to have their vacation down there,” Wells added. “It’s great to turn that drive into a convenient flight.”<\/p>\n

Obviously, Gulf Shores was just one of several cities that got new routes in this announcement.<\/p>\n

Toledo, Ohio will now have a total of four Florida destinations come November. Fort Wayne, Indiana will have Allegiant flights to five Sunshine State cities. Des Moines will have seven.<\/p>\n

Allegiant flight discounts<\/h2>\n

To celebrate the launch, the airline said it would offer special discounted fares between now and July 30, starting as low as $49, one-way, on some routes. Customers must book flights for travel between now and Feb. 10, 2026.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead<\/h2>\n

While Allegiant has typically been known for fewer amenities and inflight entertainment options, the airline’s CEO told TPG this month that the carrier is thinking about adding inflight Wi-Fi<\/a> to its planes. The company has had conversations, he noted, with Starlink \u2014 the same service United Airlines is currently in the process of installing<\/a> on its jets.<\/p>\n
