If you're already thinking about escaping the next Michigan winter, Allegiant just gave Flint travelers two more awesome options.

The airline is adding two new year-round nonstop routes from Bishop International Airport to Florida, giving Mid-Michigan travelers direct flights to Orlando and Fort Myers.

The airline is also increasing the number of flights on two existing routes from Flint. Additional service to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Mondays beginning February 10. Flights to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport will run on Thursdays, Sundays and Tuesdays beginning February 11.

$69 Florida Flights Are Available... With a Catch

That gives travelers flying out of Flint Bishop even more opportunities to trade snow, ice and gray Michigan skies for some Florida sunshine. There's also a limited-time deal attached to the announcement. Allegiant is offering introductory one-way fares as low as $69 on the newly announced routes.

But there's a catch: The $69 fares are only available when purchased by September 2, 2026, and the airline says seats and eligible travel dates are limited. Tickets for all of the newly announced routes are available through Allegiant.
