New Flight Can Take You from Sarasota Bradenton Airport to Allentown

Allegiant Air will begin nonstop service between Allentown, Pa., and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport on Thursday.

The inaugural flight arrives at 9:55 a.m. and the first departing flight leaves at 10:45 a.m.

Allegiant announced in November that it was adding the new flight, promising fares as low as $65. Other flights added recently by Allegiant include new seasonal service between SRQ and St. Louis/Belleville, Ill. (BLV). Also in November, Frontier Airlines started seasonal service between SRQ and Trenton, N.J. (TTN).

“We’re thrilled to be offering new service to a sought-after Allegiant destination — Sarasota Bradenton,” Drew Wells, Allegiant vice president of planning and revenue, said in a press release in November announcing the service to Allentown.

“This beautiful area offers so much for visitors to enjoy, and these new flights will start just in time for a warm winter getaway,” Wells said.

The new nonstop route via Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) will operate twice weekly. Flight days, times and fares can be found at Allegiant.com.

SRQ, one of the nation’s fastest growing airports, set a record with 228,015 passengers in December. Traffic was up 58 percent over December of 2018.

Almost 2 million passengers used the airport in 2019, marking 22 consecutive months of growth at SRQ.
