GULF SHORES — Allegiant airlines this week begins service from Gulf Shores International Airport (GUF) with six destinations. To celebrate, the company is offering one-way fares on the new routes as low as $39.

"We look forward to connecting passengers in Gulf Shores to six destinations. Our brand of all-nonstop flights at unbeatable value continues to resonate with customers," said Drew Wells, Allegiant's chief commercial officer. "This region has been overlooked by other carriers, and we are thrilled to open the door to new vacation options for travelers. Allegiant is committed to providing budget-friendly options that allow our passengers to customize their dream vacation.” 

The new routes from GUF include:

  • Great Smoky Mountains National Park/Knoxville, Tennessee, via McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) – beginning May 21 with one-way fares as low as $39.*

Their low-fare, leisure-focused model is the perfect fit for our family-friendly beaches.
