Allegiant just opened nine new nonstop Florida routes for spring 2027, and tickets are already on sale. The August 17, 2026 release adds a year-round Cincinnati to Orlando International pair plus seasonal and hyper-seasonal links from Boston, Providence, Portsmouth, and Grand Forks into Florida leisure airports.
Travelers in those origin markets can now decide whether to lock spring-break style inventory early, or wait and risk thinner calendars once school holidays harden. The useful move is to match the exact airport pair to your ground plan, because Allegiant still uses a mix of primary and secondary Florida gateways.
- Announcement: Nine new Allegiant nonstops to Florida, dated August 17, 2026.
- Year-round: Cincinnati (CVG) to Orlando (MCO) from February 12, 2027.
- Seasonal: Grand Forks (GFK) to Orlando Sanford (SFB), February 10 to April 17, 2027.
- Hyper-seasonal: Boston, Providence, and Portsmouth Florida pairs from mid-February 2027.
- Action: Tickets are available now at Allegiant.com for the new city pairs.
What Allegiant officially added
According to the official Allegiant press release carried on PR Newswire, the airline is expanding spring leisure options with nine new nonstops. Chief commercial officer Drew Wells framed the batch as a flexible response to peak leisure demand.
The standout year-round route is Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG) to Orlando International (MCO), starting February 12, 2027. That pair differs from Allegiant’s usual Sanford-centric Orlando pattern for travelers who want the main Orlando airport.
Grand Forks (GFK) to Orlando Sanford (SFB) is seasonal from February 10 through April 17, 2027. That window lines up with Upper Midwest winter escape demand rather than a full annual schedule.
Seven more routes are labeled hyper-seasonal and begin in mid-February 2027. Boston Logan (BOS) adds Sanford (SFB), Punta Gorda (PGD), and St. Pete-Clearwater (PIE), each listed from February 13 through April 24, 2027.
Providence (PVD) adds Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Sanford (SFB), and Sarasota (SRQ). The release lists FLL and SRQ through April 24, 2027, and SFB through April 25, 2027.
Portsmouth (PSM) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) starts February 20, 2027, and runs through May 1, 2027. Flight days and the lowest live fares are on Allegiant.com, which is also the booking path named in the release.
How to read the Florida airport map
Not every Florida airport in this batch serves the same trip. MCO is the main Orlando hub for Walt Disney World and Universal corridors.
SFB is Orlando Sanford, a secondary airport with different ground times depending on hotel location. PGD serves the Fort Myers and southwest Florida coast without forcing a drive from MCO.
PIE is the St. Pete and Tampa Bay alternative, while SRQ targets Sarasota and Bradenton beach towns. FLL is South Florida’s Fort Lauderdale gateway for beaches, cruise embarkations, and Broward stays.
Pick the Florida end first, then confirm the northern city that matches your driveway. A Providence flyer who only checks Boston can miss a cleaner PVD nonstop.
A Grand Forks traveler should not assume Cincinnati-style year-round frequencies will appear on GFK-SFB. The published February to April window is the bound that matters.
Deep Arrival’s Allegiant Air guide remains the baseline for baggage fees, seat selection, and the carrier’s secondary-airport model once you choose a pair. Use it after you know which nonstop is real on your calendar, not before.
Booking timing and fare caveats
The release states tickets for all newly announced routes are available now on Allegiant.com. That is the live traveler action for spring 2027 planning, especially for households that need specific school-break weeks.
Introductory fare language in the same release cites low one-way prices on CVG-MCO and GFK-SFB when purchased by August 15, 2026. Because the public announcement is dated August 17, treat those named intro windows as already closed unless the booking path still shows the same fare code at checkout.
Do not plan around a headline 49 dollar fare you cannot reproduce in the cart. Plan around the city pair, the operating window, and the all-in price after bags and seats.
Allegiant’s model still prices checked bags and assigned seats separately for many tickets. Build that total before comparing against a connecting itinerary on another airline.
If you need Orlando theme-park access, compare MCO against SFB total door-to-door time before you buy the cheaper-looking secondary airport. A shorter flight that adds an hour of ground transfer is not always cheaper in real life.
Who this batch helps most
Cincinnati-area leisure travelers gain a year-round nonstop into MCO without forcing a connection through a larger hub. That is the highest-utility line in the package for families who visit Florida more than once a year.
Boston and Providence flyers get a denser spring menu into Sanford, Punta Gorda, St. Pete-Clearwater, Fort Lauderdale, and Sarasota. Those hyper-seasonal windows are built for spring break and shoulder-season beach trips.
They are not designed for September weekend getaways. If your trip falls outside the published end dates, do not assume the nonstop will still be flying.
Portsmouth and Grand Forks passengers get new nonstop Florida options that simply did not exist in this form before the announcement. For those cities, the decision is whether a nonstop in a short seasonal window beats a longer drive to another airport or a connecting itinerary.
Travelers already following Allegiant’s Florida reshaping can read this as additive capacity for spring 2027, not a reversal of earlier 2026 route cuts. Deep Arrival covered prior Florida network changes in Allegiant’s Florida route cuts and adds report, which remains useful chronology rather than a substitute for these new 2027 dates.
Planning the ground side after you book
Once a Florida end is locked, shift to destination planning so the flight decision matches the hotel and park plan. Orlando-bound trips can use Deep Arrival’s Orlando things to do guide for the days around park tickets and neighborhood choices.
Northeast origins that leave from Boston can pair the flight plan with the Boston things to do shortlist only when the trip includes a pre-flight city day. Most leisure passengers will not need that layer if they are simply driving to Logan for a Florida week.
Reconfirm operating days after purchase because ultra-low-cost seasonal schedules can still shift. Keep the airline app alerts on, and avoid nonrefundable hotels until the flight shows a stable day-of-week pattern for your travel week.
If two Florida airports both work for your hotel, price both with bags before you decide. The cheaper base fare is not always the cheaper trip once Allegiant optional fees and ground transfers are counted.
| If you… | What to do |
|---|---|
| Live near Cincinnati and visit Orlando more than once a year | Price CVG-MCO first as the year-round pair from February 12, 2027. |
| Need a spring-only Florida escape from Boston or Providence | Compare the hyper-seasonal Florida airports against your hotel ZIP code. |
| Are flying Grand Forks or Portsmouth | Treat the route as a short seasonal nonstop and book inside the published window. |
| Saw a 49 dollar intro headline after August 15 | Ignore the closed purchase-by date and buy only if the live cart still works for you. |
| Already hold spring 2027 Florida hotels | Match the hotel’s nearest viable airport before locking the Allegiant pair. |
- Check Allegiant.com now: New city pairs are listed as available for booking.

- Hold hotels carefully: Keep lodging flexible until flight days stabilize for your week.
Allegiant’s spring 2027 Florida expansion is a concrete network decision, not a vague capacity rumor. The routes, start dates, and booking path are public, so the remaining work is traveler-side: pick the right airport pair, verify the live fare with bags, and only then lock the rest of the trip.
When do the new Allegiant Florida routes start?
CVG-MCO begins February 12, 2027, and GFK-SFB runs February 10 to April 17, 2027. Most Boston and Providence hyper-seasonal pairs begin February 13, 2027, while Portsmouth-FLL begins February 20, 2027.
Which new route is year-round?
Cincinnati (CVG) to Orlando International (MCO) is the year-round addition in this batch. The other eight routes are seasonal or hyper-seasonal spring windows.
Are tickets on sale now?
Yes. The official release states tickets for all newly announced routes are available now on Allegiant.com.
Do the introductory 49 dollar fares still apply?
The release ties some intro fares to a purchase-by date of August 15, 2026. After the August 17 announcement, confirm the live cart rather than assuming that intro price remains open.
Is Sanford the same as Orlando International?
No. MCO is Orlando International, while SFB is Orlando Sanford. Ground times to theme parks and neighborhoods differ enough that the cheaper fare is not always the better trip.
