Allegiant announced new service Wichita – Phoenix Mesa
Low cost airline Allegiant Air announced that it would offer nonstop service to Phoenix-Mesa from Wichita beginning November 20. The carrier celebrates the convenient new service to Arizona with introductory fares.
Allegiant’s $59.99 one-way introductory fare is limited, must be purchased by October 21, 2009 and is valid for travel through February 10, 2010. Introductory fares are not available on all flights. After the introductory fare period, regular one-way fares on the route start as low as $79.99 one-way. Reservations can be made on the airline’s website at allegiantair.com through the airline’s Reservations and Information Center at 702-505-8888 or through professional travel agents.
“We are extremely pleased to again expand the Allegiant brand of low-fare, nonstop jet service in the Wichita community,” Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., president, CEO of Allegiant Air, said. “This is an exciting new addition for our airline and our customers as we link South Central Kansas with the endless sun, resorts and golf found in Arizona.”
The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service from Wichita Mid-Continent Airport to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport with two flights weekly on Monday and Friday. Service will begin Nov. 20 with flights departing Wichita at 12:25 p.m. arriving in Phoenix-Mesa at 1:45 p.m. Flights leaving Phoenix-Mesa will depart at 8:35 a.m. arriving in Wichita at 11:45 a.m. (all flight times are local.) Allegiant inaugurated low-cost, nonstop service to Las Vegas Feb. 27, 2003 and flights to Los Angeles May 23, 2009.
The airline commented market research and input from local community leaders indicate the Wichita community will welcome the new nonstop flights and low fares to Phoenix-Mesa. Allegiant will utilize 150-seat, MD-80 series, jet-aircraft on the route.
“We are thrilled Allegiant Air has quickly responded to our need for nonstop service to Phoenix, one of our most popular destinations,” Victor White, director of airports for Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, said. “We are confident passengers will find the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport convenient to use, and will love Allegiant’s low fares and comfortable 150-seat MD-80 aircraft on this route. Allegiant is to be commended for recognizing our need for this service and we are particularly pleased this will be available before the holidays.”

As far as I know, there was an introducory fare available from $59.99 one way. However this price was available only in October. The only thing you can do is to watch the airfare deals and maybe there may be some sale for your route too. You can e.g. sign up for free at http://www.myairdeals.com.
