Since 2012, the only time of year you were able to catch a non-stop flight on Allegiant Air from Shreveport to Orlando or vice-versa was during the summer months. But Mark Crawford, the airport business and development manager for the Shreveport Airport Authority, says that changes this year.
“For the first time in 14 years, they have extended that Orlando service into the fall. We are anticipating that they will ultimately offer nonstop Orlando service most of the year, throughout the year,” Crawford said.
Crawford says the reason Shreveport was able to convince Allegiant to extend its non-stop flight offerings to and from Orlando later into the year is because more people wanted to visit Orlando when it’s not scorching hot outside.
“More people, in the fall and winter, are going to Orlando than they are in the summer,” Crawford noted.
Crawford says depending on when you travel, you might be able to book each leg of your trip for less than a daily pass to Disney World.
“The flights are twice a week, Sundays and Thursdays, and the fares start at $73 one-way,” Crawford said.
The non-stop flights start in May, and bookings are available now.
