During the peak season it can reach upto $800 for a roundtrip ticket. I guarantee if the Rockford Airport offers a roundtrip ticket there for $100, many people from the whole Chicagoland area would use this service. The airline would not have any problems filling the seats which would be great for the Rockford community. Jackson Hole is normally very expensive to fly directly into.

Not only do they need cooler climates to put their planes in the summer months, but Allegiant is the only carrier that has a history of "polling" and "writing in" for advanced support. Also, Rockford is the perfect place to test new destinations since it's in the middle of the country and equidistant to either the East or much of the West. It's also a proven market for Allegiant. This is especially important in terms of fuel since even Jackson Hole is 300 miles closer to Rockford than Phoenix is. Now that Mesa won't resume until the late summer/early fall, there are some surplus MD80's that need air time. And it would be pretty hard for an airline to get the ball rolling by Memorial Day unless they already had shop set up for at least one of the airoorts. Esp It’s gotta be Allegiant.
