8/31/2011

McGhee Tyson Airport passengers have a new non-stop destination to Las Vegas.

Allegiant Airlines will begin service on November 18 from Knoxville to Las Vegas.

The new flights will travel twice weekly between McGhee Tyson and McCarran International Airport with service Monday and Friday.

The flights will leave Knoxville at 1:55 p.m. and arrive in Las Vegas at 3:15 p.m.

Flights will leave Las Vegas at 6:05 a.m. and arrive in Knoxville at 12:40 p.m. (All flight times are local).

A $109.98 one-way introductory fare is limited, must be purchased by Sept. 20 and is valid for travel between Nov. 29, and Feb. 14, 2012. Introductory fares are not available on all flights.

"Today's announcement of new flights to Las Vegas offers nonstop service to one of our most visited destinations. While the service is starting as seasonal, we fully believe that it will be extremely successful and will become permanent service," said Howard Vogel, Chairman of the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority's Board of Commissioners.

Allegiant will use a full-size, 217-seat Boeing 757-200 jet aircraft for the flights.
