Allegiant Air expands low-cost travel options with new nonstop routes from Michigan, connecting passengers to Florida’s sunny destinations at fares as low as $39.
Allegiant’s Expansion Brings Affordable Flights to Michigan Travelers
Allegiant Travel Company has announced a slate of new nonstop routes beginning this November, expanding affordable travel options for Michigan residents. Among the highlights is a new service linking Grand Rapids’ Gerald R. Ford International Airport to Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, debuting on November 14 with one-way fares starting at $69. Additionally, Flint’s Bishop International Airport will offer new service to Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport in Florida, launching on November 15 at fares as low as $59.
The announcement, made on July 16, underscores Allegiant’s commitment to offering budget-friendly options tailored to vacationers and leisure travelers. “The addition of new routes is a testament to the success of our existing service in these communities,” noted Drew Wells, Allegiant’s chief revenue officer. The routes provide opportunities for warm winter escapes, making Florida a convenient getaway for Michiganders looking to beat the cold.

The launch comes as demand for low-cost travel continues to surge, as consumers seek economical ways to visit popular destinations without compromising on quality. The expansion adds to Allegiant’s reputation for connecting smaller and regional airports to leisure hotspots.
While the new Grand Rapids-Palm Beach route offers sunny relief from Michigan winters, Flint’s connection to Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport presents an ideal beachside escape.
