Allegiant Expands with Three Nonstop Routes: BUR, BLI, PVU

(HOLLYWOOD BURBANK) Allegiant Air will launch three new nonstop routes in February 2026, adding fresh links across the United States and bringing first-time service to Hollywood Burbank Airport. The low-cost carrier says tickets are already on sale with introductory one-way fares from $39–$49, and a short booking window that closes September 10, 2025, for travel through May 19, 2026. The move highlights Allegiant’s point-to-point strategy and extends broader 2025 expansion that includes new flights to and from Huntsville, Alabama.

Allegiant’s newest routes, announced September 9, 2025, will connect Burbank, CA (BUR) ↔ Bellingham, WA (BLI), Burbank, CA (BUR) ↔ Provo, UT (PVU), and Chattanooga, TN (CHA) ↔ Fort Lauderdale/Miami, FL (FLL). All three begin on February 12, 2026, and are sold exclusively at Allegiant.com. The airline said these routes respond to strong leisure demand and its plan to offer more simple, direct options instead of hub connections. Drew Wells, Allegiant’s Chief Commercial Officer, framed the update as part of a coast-to-coast push that adds choice in new markets like Burbank while keeping fares low for price-sensitive travelers.

Why Burbank matters

The Burbank additions are the headline. By starting flights from Hollywood Burbank Airport, Allegiant taps a convenient alternative gateway for greater Los Angeles, close to studios, residential neighborhoods, and major freeways.

• For families, students, and workers who prefer smaller airports and shorter security lines, BUR’s scale can save time and money.
• It gives Southern California travelers new ways to reach the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West without driving to LAX.
• BUR is well-positioned for residents across the San Fernando Valley and parts of central Los Angeles.

Market rationale and demand signals

According to analysis by VisaVerge.com, the timing suggests Allegiant is leaning into winter and spring leisure patterns while locking in demand early with limited-time fares. The company’s internal metrics support the bet: Allegiant carried 2,005,932 passengers in June 2025, up 9.6% year over year, pointing to strong appetite for new city pairs and nonstop routes that skip traditional hubs.

Allegiant’s strategy centers on:
– Point-to-point service connecting secondary airports with steady leisure demand.
– Avoiding legacy hub networks in favor of simple, direct options.
– Targeting markets where point-to-point traffic can reliably fill planes.

How each new route fits local markets

• Burbank–Bellingham: Connects Southern California to a gateway near the Canadian border and the San Juan Islands—attractive for outdoor and leisure travelers.
• Burbank–Provo: Links Los Angeles County to Utah County’s growing tech corridor and family travel market.
• Chattanooga–Fort Lauderdale: Opens a sun corridor for Tennessee travelers bound for South Florida beaches and cruises, and brings Floridians to Tennessee’s outdoor and cultural attractions.

Wider 2025 network growth

The September announcement builds on Allegiant news from May–August 2025, when the carrier added five new nonstop routes and extended its booking window through May 2026. Notably, Huntsville, Alabama (HSV) joins Allegiant’s network for the first time with three Florida routes:

• Fort Lauderdale (FLL) ↔ Huntsville, AL (HSV) — launches November 19, 2025 — $39
• Sanford, FL (SFB) ↔ Huntsville, AL (HSV) — launches February 12, 2026 — $39
• St. Petersburg, FL (PIE) ↔ Huntsville, AL (HSV) — launches March 5, 2026 — $39

Additional routes added May–August 2025:
– Orlando (MCO) ↔ Appleton, WI (ATW) — January 16, 2026 — $69
– Sarasota (SRQ) ↔ Rochester, NY (ROC) — February 13, 2026 — $59
– Plus four new Florida routes from Atlantic City (ACY) coming December 2025.

For North Alabama, the Huntsville routes create direct, low-cost access to South Florida and Tampa Bay area beaches, and a central Florida link via Orlando Sanford. This matters for families, workers, and employers who benefit from simpler, budget-friendly travel options.

Community and economic impacts

Allegiant’s growth can affect communities beyond airports:

• New service supports airport jobs, ground transportation, hospitality, and local attractions.
• Early route promotion by city leaders can boost tourism and small business gains.
• When passengers fill planes at launch, airlines are more likely to keep service and add frequency.

In Atlantic City, officials, including Gov. Phil Murphy, publicly welcomed Allegiant’s Florida expansion for its expected tourism lift. Similar impacts are likely for markets gaining Burbank and Huntsville flights, especially during peak leisure seasons.

Practical tips for travelers

People considering the new routes should keep a few practical points in mind:

• Check fare rules during booking. Allegiant’s lowest fares are often limited and date-specific.
• Review optional fees for carry-on, checked bags, and seat selection before purchase to understand total trip cost.
• Compare airports. In Los Angeles County, Hollywood Burbank Airport can be easier to reach than larger airports depending on traffic and location.
• Book early to access the lowest promo fares and the best flight times.
• Track schedule notices after booking, especially for new routes during their first season.
• For consumer rights on delays and refunds, consult the U.S. Department of Transportation’s guidance at the Airline Consumer Protection page.

Social and family benefits

For immigrants, mixed-status families, students, elderly parents, and budget-conscious workers, nonstop links can reduce travel stress and expense by eliminating connections and lengthy layovers. These routes can make reunions, school breaks, and family events easier to manage.

Final considerations

Allegiant says these routes reflect its core identity: leisure-focused, point-to-point service priced for broad access. The carrier’s approach—simple schedules, nonstop flights, and limited but targeted frequency—aims to reduce cost and complexity for travelers who prioritize direct options over daily departures.

• Fine print: Schedules and fares are subject to change, and introductory seats are limited.
• Booking channel: All bookings must be made through Allegiant.com, where travelers can review fare rules and optional service charges.
• Planning window: The booking schedule now stretches through May 2026, giving households time to plan trips across seasons.

Allegiant has signaled continued growth as new aircraft arrive and demand remains high. For now, the focus is clear: lock in the February 2026 launches, fill seats during the spring travel period, and introduce Burbank to Allegiant’s network in a way that sticks. With three new nonstop routes centered on BUR, plus five recent additions that include Huntsville, Alabama, the carrier is betting leisure travelers will choose faster, simpler trips—especially when the price and the airport fit their lives.
