Introductory one-way flights will start as low as $49 for Asheville and Knoxville, and $59 for Allentown.

In fact, Allegiant is adding a new route between Orlando-Sanford and Rapid City, South Dakota, starting May 15 with one-way fares as low as $79.

Since Allegiant already flies to Asheville, Allentown and Knoxville out of Sanford’s airport, News 6 reached out to see if the airline will discontinue those flights in favor of Orlando International Airport, and we are waiting to hear back.

Allegiant also flies out of Melbourne Orlando International Airport, with service to Allentown, Nashville and Pittsburgh.
