With the coronavirus vaccine slowly making its way across the United States, low-cost carrier Allegiant Airlines loaded a host of new routes into their website late on Monday night. With this update, the Las Vegas-based carrier hasn’t focused on any region in particular but has instead added routes all over the map.

A total of 43 new routes have been added in this recent announcement.

Being from a non-aviation family made it harder for him to be around planes and would only spend about three hours a month at the airport. He was so excited when he could drive by himself and the first thing he did with the license was get ice cream and go plane spotting for the entire day. When he has the time (and money) he likes to take spotting trips to any location worth a visit. He’s currently enrolled at Western Michigan University earning a degree in Aviation Management and Operations.
