Between now and the end of April, there are 60 percent more low fare seats available to sunny Orlando, Florida from HIA!  Allegiant—HIA’s most popular airline to Orlando—will increase service to six days a week in March to Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) while Frontier will offer flights five days a week until April 29^th.

SFB is central Florida’s version of HIA—easy access, shorter lines and convenient rental car, taxi and shuttle bus options to destinations throughout the Orlando area. Since November 2012, more than 100,000 central Pennsylvanians has flown Allegiant to Orlando Sanford.  To learn more about SFB, please watch:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-3ZIkp4y1I&feature=youtu.be&hd=1

This summer Allegiant will offer four SFB flights a week up from three flights per week last summer.  If these new, additional seats are filled at profitable levels, we are hopeful that Allegiant will add even more flights to Orlando Sanford this fall.

Update on Frontier

After being purchased by an investment group in 2013, Frontier Airlines has committed to a new strategy, focused on redeploying aircraft from medium and smaller markets and moving them to very large markets, in an attempt to seek higher profit margins.  As a result, effective April 29, 2015, Frontier will no longer serve HIA and a number of other airports in the U.S.
