"We have seen such strong demand since we announced this route and, as we always try to do, we have reacted to that demand by adding more flights year-round," said Andrew C. Levy, Allegiant Travel Company President and COO. "We have been operating in Cincinnati since February and travelers have been very receptive to our ultra-low-cost travel offerings. We are confident the community will continue to appreciate the convenience of flying nonstop to our destinations and the value of bundling their air, hotel and car rental reservations together."
Nonstop flights from Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) will begin on May 15, 2014. Allegiant is currently selling flights through Oct. 28, 2014, and will release its holiday schedule later this spring.
