Add comment November 15th, 2007

Allegiant Air is celebrating the one-year anniversary of service to Clearwater/St. Petersburg, Fla. with $15 one-way fares from Florida to Rockford and other markets available until 8 p.m. Central time today.

Travel must be by Feb. 6. Right now, the discounted tickets are available to Rockford for Nov. 23, Nov. 30, Dec. 2, Dec. 5, Dec. 9, Dec. 14, Dec. 16, Jan. 9, Jan. 11, Jan. 16, Jan. 18, Jan. 23, Jan. 25, Jan. 30, Feb. 1, Feb. 3 and Feb. 6.

The $15 is s a base fare and doesn’t include taxes and government fees, a possible $8.50 convenience fee when booked online or a $5 surcharge when booking by phone at 702-505-8888. But all those charges all apply to the non-sale tickets also, which normally start at $69 to $114 each way. So it’s a good deal regardless.

Of course, you have to pay full price to get from Rockford to St. Pete.

The route, which gets travelers to the Tampa Bay area, has been pretty good for Rockford. More than 25,000 passengers have flown on the route this year. While it’s the least-busy regular route out of Rockford, planes have generally been around 85 percent full, which is above the industry average.
