T
he “Something BIG coming to
VPS” sign all over the Destin-
Fort Walton Beach Airport had
everyone wondering, speculating
and anticipating what the big news was.
VPS was not just making an announcement,
they were having an event. An event full of
cheering, live music, free ticket giveaways
and more. On January 10, Allegiant Air
announced they were going to be making
VPS a hub, which makes it the largest single
expansion in the company’s history. Non-
Stop flights to Fort Walton Beach Airport
from 11 cities including New York/New
Jersey areas, Washington DC, Pittsburgh
and Austin just to name a few, was the
highlight of the big news. This move will
bring 100,000 more visitors to the beautiful
beaches of Northwestern Florida at a very
low cost starting at $42, and create 60 new
jobs at the VPS airport. These low fares by
Allegiant will give travelers a unique edge
and advantage over other carriers serving
this area. We will definitely be seeing more
visitors with these rock bottom prices and
direct flights.
