Allegiant Air Adds Flights to LV For Opposing Fans

Allegiant Air is planning ahead for the 2023-24 NFL season.

In attempt to create opportunities for visiting fans to travel this upcoming season, the Las Vegas-based airline announced it has made future temporary flights, one of which is a round-trip flight from Kansas City International Airport to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving weekend, according to FOX5 Vegas.

The new trip will allow Kansas City Chiefs fans to fly to Las Vegas for the Chiefs-Las Vegas Raiders game on Nov. 26.

The flight will depart from Kansas City on Nov. 23 and return from Las Vegas after the game on Nov. 26.

Per WTAV, Allegiant also recently announced it will be offering a round-trip for Pittsburgh Steelers fans for the Raiders' Week 3 Sunday Night Football game against the Steelers on Sept. 24.

That flight will leave Pittsburgh International Airport on Friday, Sept. 22 and return on Monday, Sept. 25.

According to the Allegiant Air website, the airline is also selling packages for the two round-trip flights that include seat selection, checked bag, carry-on, priority boarding, a stay at a 3-plus-star hotel, and game day seats.

The same package is offered for all Raiders home games.

Outside of the AFC West, Las Vegas' home schedule includes Pittsburgh, the Green Bay Packers, the New England Patriots, the New York Giants, the New York Jets, and the Minnesota Vikings.

Ironically, Allegiant is obviously a partner of the Raiders -- hence "Allegiant Stadium" -- and bringing in opposing fans will only decrease Las Vegas' home-field advantage.

But business is business.

The Raiders had one of the poorest turnouts at home last season, as attendance at Allegiant Stadium totaled only 496,363 fans, second-to-last in the league in home attendance.

Allegiant partnered with the 2023 NHL champions, the Vegas Golden Knights, in 2018.

The following year, Allegiant, the Raiders, and the NFL agreed on a 20-year deal that granted the airline its rights to the name of the franchise's stadium.

Allegiant is also the official airline of the Indianapolis Colts, who Las Vegas plays in Week 17.
