ASHEVILLE – Looking to visit the home of the NFL Vikings in the ‘great north’? Looking to depart for the Twin Cities? Asheville now has a solution. Allegiant Air officially launched a new nonstop, seasonal spring and summer flight option from Asheville Regional Airport to Minneapolis. The expansion of Allegiant’s seasonal options has allowed the company to grow its flight choices from Asheville.
As the first flight to Minneapolis left Feb 15., the Asheville Regional Airport now has 17 different Allegiant Air nonstop flight options. The flights will operate up to twice a week, according to an Allegiant Air news release.
“Anticipating a surge in spring and summer travel demand, we are excited to bring back these perfectly-timed seasonal routes to fly passengers to some of our network’s most popular destinations across the country,” said Allegiant Travel Company spokesperson Drew Wells in a news release. “Allegiant’s affordable, all-nonstop flights allow customers to spend more time in their destination without the hassle of managing layovers or connections.”
A March 3 one-way flight from Asheville to Minneapolis starts at $58, according to the Allegiant Air website.
