Allegiant Air has unveiled a fresh wave of new air service across the U.S., marking one of the most aggressive expansions in its recent history. Just this week, the airline confirmed new nonstop routes from Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Huntsville, Alabama—along with a few market exits—giving travelers more budget-friendly options than ever.
Allegiant Air is launching four new routes from Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) to Florida destinations. Service to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) begins December 4, 2025; flights to St. Pete–Clearwater (PIE), Sanford/Orlando (SFB), and Punta Gorda (PGD) will start over Presidents’ Day weekend in early 2026. Introductory fares are set as low as $39 one-way. These additions align with the airline’s strategy to connect underserved markets with popular leisure destinations.
Meanwhile, Huntsville International Airport (HSV) is set to welcome Allegiant Air back into its network. Nonstop service to Fort Lauderdale begins November 19, 2025, with flights to St. Pete–Clearwater starting March 5, 2026, and to Orlando Sanford launching February 12, 2026. All routes will feature promotional fares from $39 one-way.
However, Allegiant is also scaling back in certain areas. The airline plans to exit a previously served airport that was added during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating a continued focus on shifting resources toward more promising leisure markets.

Why This Matters
Allegiant Air’s aggressive expansion reflects its core business model: quick deployment into leisure-driven, underserved regions with nonstop service and ultra-low fares. By offering fares as low as $39 one-way and extending schedules through mid-2026, the airline is giving travelers the ability to plan further ahead while maintaining affordability.
The introduction of Atlantic City to Florida routes strengthens Allegiant’s position on the East Coast and provides travelers with a new low-cost alternative in markets often dominated by larger carriers. Meanwhile, reentering Huntsville opens up more affordable options for Alabama’s Rocket City and boosts the airline’s regional presence.
Extending the schedule through May 2026 and launching limited-time fares also suggests that Allegiant aims to capture early bookings for both winter and spring travel seasons.
What Travelers Should Know
- Booking deadlines: Promotional fares must be booked by August 14, 2025, for Atlantic City routes.
- Seasonal timing: ACY routes begin in both December 2025 and early 2026, coinciding with peak travel periods. Huntsville routes launch between November 2025 and March 2026.
- Limited availability: The lowest promotional fares will be offered on select flights and are subject to sell-out.
Allegiant Air’s latest route expansion shows a clear focus on connecting leisure travelers to sunny destinations at a fraction of the cost. Whether planning a winter escape or a spring vacation, these new routes make budget-friendly getaways even more accessible.
