Planning a vacation just got a little easier this year, thanks to Allegiant Air.
The budget airline is offering nonstop flights from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to Gulf Shores, Alabama, starting May 22, 2025. Allegiant is also offering non-stop flights from CVG to Portland, Oregon, starting May 23, 2025.
To celebrate the new routes, Allegiant is offering discounted fares on one-way flights from CVG to Gulf Shores International Airport (GUF) for as little as $39. The airline is also offering discounted flights to Portland International Airport (PDX) starting at $79.
Tickets must be purchased by Nov. 20 for travel dates through July 25, 2025, per the release. Seats and dates are limited, and fare rules, routes and schedules are subject to change. Please check allegiantair.com for additional details.
With the addition of Gulf Shores and Portland, Allegiant now offers three nonstop routes from CVG. Last week, the airline launched its first nonstop flight from CVG to Melbourne Orlando International Airport in Florida.
The new Allegiant flights offered at CVG comes as the Las Vegas-based airline faces pressure from negotiations with its pilots union, which overwhelmingly voted to authorize union leaders to strike.
The Nov. 8 vote was supported by more than 97% of Allegiant pilots represented by Teamsters Local 2118. It means the pilots' union will go on strike if the carrier and the union cannot reach an agreement.
The vote to authorize a strike is not affecting Allegiant flights now, meaning anyone leaving CVG on an Allegiant flight should not expect any wrinkles in their travel plans.
When asked how a potential strike would affect Allegiant passengers at CVG, the airline said in a statement that it's in the midst of negotiations with the union and is working to finalize an agreement for its pilots.
"This is not a work stoppage, nor is one imminent," the statement reads. "The conditions for a strike, as dictated by the Railway Labor Act, the federal law governing labor relations in the aviation industry, have not been met."
