It was always tough to gauge exactly how low fare Allegiant Air is with $99 round trip and $69 one=way special promotional fares for the first week of sales.
Those promotions are officially over today and Allegiant has actually stuck to those $69 for many dates, and even a handful of cheaper routes over the next year.
At the earliest, Allegiant has a $64.50 (ever ticket also has about $4.50 in fees) flight from Tulsa to Orlando on Oct. 25 and you could return the next Friday for the same price.
Flying back on Monday will cost you $97.50, plus taxes.
Other flights range from $58.50 in late January to $195 in late March. So don’t look for much of a deal on a Spring Break Disneyland trip.
And don’t forget about the heavy fees on Allegiant, which dings you for checked luggage, carry-on luggage, booking online, picking your seat and so much more.
And be prepared to be a little uncomfortable, with 26 more seats on the MD-80 than American Airlines uses and seats that don’t recline.
To compare, the cheapest flight I found for that Oct. 25 weekend on Expedia was $411 round trip, which also stops in Dallas. The return flight was for Monday, Oct. 28 On Southwest, a roundtrip was going to cost you $463 for those same dates.
Here’s how it breaks down:
| Depart Oct. 25 | Return Oct. 28 |
| Allegiant | $69 | $102 |
| American | *$261 | *$210 |
| Southwest | $254 | $209 |
* a round-trip package came to $412
