Allegiant flights can now be booked through May 15, 2023. That change is the second schedule extension from the low-cost carrier made this year.
In May, the airline announced it would extend previously seasonal markets (Albany, New York; Allentown, Pennsylvania; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Newburgh, New York) through the second week of February, a two-month extension from the time that seasonal service would typically conclude for these markets.

With the latest schedule extension, the airline is one step closer to operating as a year-round carrier at the Myrtle Beach International Airport.
“Seasonality … is becoming a thing of the past and we couldn’t be more thrilled with Allegiant’s decision to further expand their operation throughout the winter/spring months,” said Scott Van Moppes, director of airports. “Their continued schedule extensions in off-peak months are a direct result of the explosive activity in our market; demand is growing for travel in what was previously considered the ‘off season’ and our airline partners are responding to it. We thank the Allegiant team for their continued investment in our destination.”
