Allegiant To Off Nonstop Flights To Honolulu
HONOLULU (AP) — An airline that connects small cities with leisure destinations will begin nonstop flights from the mainland to Honolulu.
Allegiant Air announced Tuesday flights from Las Vegas will begin June 29 and flights from Fresno, Calif., will begin June 30.
The airline is offering introductory one-way fares of $174.
Last year, Las Vegas-based Allegiant Travel Co. received federal certification to fly a bigger plane, which company officials said was a step toward providing service to Hawaii.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority has said Allegiant's Hawaii service would help cultivate first-time travelers to the islands.
Allegiant President Andrew Levy says there are plans to expand service to other mainland cities in the future.
