Allegiant Announces New Route From Southwest Florida To Savannah

Kyle Luigs #12 of the Savannah Bananas pitches against the Party Animals at Grayson Stadium on May 13, 2023 in Savannah, Georgia. The Historic Grayson Stadium is the home of the independent professional baseball team called the Savannah Bananas. The Bananas were part of the Coastal Plain League, a summer collegiate league, for seven seasons. In 2022, the Bananas announced that they were leaving the Coastal Plain League to play Banana Ball year-round. Banana Ball was born out of the idea of making baseball more fast-paced, entertaining, and fun.

For those of you heading from Southwest Florida to the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) in Georgia, you have a new, very affordable option. Allegiant announced new routes today, including one from Southwest Florida to Savannah.

Punta Gorda/Fort Myers, Florida via Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) – beginning Nov. 14, 2024 with one-way fares as low as $39.*

With fares starting at $39, the new route from the Punta Gorda, Florida airport makes a trip to Hilton Head easily accessible from Southwest Florida. The same trip from Allegiant is also now available from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) as well as the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE).

"The addition of new routes is a testament to the success of our existing service in these communities," said Drew Wells, Allegiant's chief revenue officer. "Our network planning team is responsive to consumer demand, constantly looking for opportunities to enhance the leisure travel experience. The new service kicks off just in time to plan warm winter getaways to sought-after coastal destinations."

Southwest Florida To Savannah

Along with access to Hilton Head Island, this low cost fare can also provide you with a Savannah Historic District, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, or the historic Bonaventure Cemetery. Or maybe catch a home game of the Savannah Bananas.

Allegiant Baggage Fees

Remember to pay for your checked bag at time of booking. It's $35 when you plan ahead, but $75 if you do it at the airport. Plan ahead, and chances are you'll have a great trip!

It’s summer vacation time. A time when anticipation for a break is building. It might be a break from work or just the heat in Southwest Florida. You know that giddy feeling leading up to a getaway? Then you’ll love these 5 funny ready for vacation videos for TikTok Tuesday.

When the clock starts ticking down and the days to departure get closer, it’s a great feeling. So many of my friends are either on vacation or about to leave for one. I thought the timing would be perfect for these videos.

Even if you are not headed out of town or even taking a staycation, you will most likey relate to the sentiments of these videos.

Having just returned from vacation myself, it would seem more appropriate to post videos of the let down. The coming back to reality party of life after a getaway. However, I want to stay positive. I also know another quick getaway could be just around the corner. These videos will be appropriate again.

We all need a break from our daily routines. Unplugging in today’s fast world is need physically, spiritually and mentally. Even if you can’t get on a plane and fly somewhere, you can get in a car and head to beach for a weekend. 

It doesn’t fit the humous category, however, here is a video that might inspire you. Sound up if the captions don’t appear. 

If you don't have a TikTok account, don't worry. I've made it easy to view by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post. Feel free to share with your travel loving friends too.

Mornng Person

I am a morning person but I can still relate to this one. I have friends who totally fit this description. I bet you do too.

Jim Carey Classic

I remember this movie scene and it makes me laugh at how ridiculous he is. On the flip side, I have co-workers like this. Not ridiculous of course, but with an excited swagger before something big is about to happen.

Dancing Kids

Dancing kid videos are the rage right now. And yes, you often feel like a giddy kid when getting ready to go somewhere fun. She is adorable and will make you smile. Music up helps on this one.

Checking Out Don't Reach Out

Love this one. I often say, "call if you need anything" when I leave. I mostly mean it....haha. But he obviously does not.

Up Early

Are you like this? Can't sleep when you need sleep the night before you leave? It's hard. Not just becuase of excitement but also making sure you've taken care of all that needs handled before you take off
