Allegiant brings new flight to Idaho Falls Airport

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Travelers in Idaho Falls can soon hop on a cheap non-stop flight to the Golden State.

The new route is part of a three-route expansion across Allegiant's network linking the Idaho Falls Airport to the John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California.

Flights will be ready for take-off in May and can be as cheap as $49.

Exact schedules and fares can be found online. With the launch of the new route, Allegiant is celebrating with one-way $49 introductory fares. Travelers are now able to book tickets on www.allegiantair.com.

The new year-round IDA to SNA flights will operate twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Travelers heading to the greater Los Angeles area can find traveling through SNA easier than Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The airport also provides closer service to California’s world-renowned theme parks and Orange County beaches.

With the addition of the route between Idaho Falls and Orange County, IDA will offer 14 non-stop destinations with an average of 16 daily flights. Travelers from IDA can connect to hundreds of destinations around the world with just a single stop. 

“We are thrilled to have Allegiant expand its offerings, connecting people in eastern Idaho and the greater Los Angeles area,” Idaho Falls Regional Airport Director Rick Cloutier said. “IDA works hard to continue to grow and expand air service for our community. Adding new routes helps our fares stay competitive and grows the area’s economic opportunities.”
