HONOLULU, April 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegiant (Nasdaq:ALGT) announces the company will begin new, nonstop air service from the mainland to Honolulu. The new service will provide new economic development by allowing customers to visit the popular vacation destination for new lower fares.
The carrier will offer introductory fares as low as $174* one-way, including taxes and fees, from Honolulu International Airport (HNL) to:
1. Fresno, Calif. – begins June 30 with fares as low as 174* each way
