Lehigh Valley airport scheduling more flights to Florida, Myrtle Beach

Lehigh Valley International Airport is ringing in the new year by announcing the arrival of additional flights via Allegiant Air.

“We have an outstanding partnership with Allegiant, and increasing flights to their very popular leisure destinations allows travelers more opportunities to choose the convenience of using ABE,” said Thomas R. Stoudt, Interim Executive Director of the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority.

From the Lehigh Valley, Allegiant provides service to Orlando/Sanford, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale, Punta Gorda and Myrtle Beach.

Now through May 2018, there will be approximately 50 additional departures to those destinations versus the same time period last year.
