Allegiant Air, which operates a base at McGhee Tyson Airport and serves over half of Knoxville’s destinations, will add three flights to unserved destinations beginning in June.
The new flights will connect Knoxville with Jacksonville, St. Louis, and South Bend, Indiana, with select one-way fares as low as $45.
Flights to St. Louis will operate on Thursdays and Sundays beginning June 13 and are bookable now through Nov. 11.
Flights to Jacksonville and South Bend will operate on Mondays and Fridays beginning June 14 and are bookable now through Nov. 11. South Bend, home of the University of Notre Dame, is under two hours’ drive from Chicago.
Flight days, times and low fares can be found only at Allegiant.com, the airport said in a release.
Knoxville has been a favorite destination for Allegiant for nearly two decades. The airline brings travelers from around the country to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and flies Knoxville vacationers to eight Florida airports and Las Vegas.
“Allegiant’s unique business model, connecting small-to-medium sized cities to vacation destinations, creates accessible travel options not otherwise available in what we believe are underserved markets,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s chief revenue officer, in a release.
