Fly from Roanoke to Orlando on Allegiant

May 25, 2006 · Filed Under Roanoke Happenings 

Local TV stations and the Roanoke Times have reported on the new airline at the Roanoke Regional Airport, Allegiant Air, who is offering roundtrip airfares from Roanoke to Orlando. What seemed like a good deal when I was watching the news story though started to lose it’s luster this morning when I watched the TimesCast math lesson from Andrew Kantor.

Apparently Allegiant Air flies you to an airport on the other side of Orlando away from all the attractions. After adding in all the costs to get where you’re going, it’s still cheaper to fly out of Lynchburg Regional Airport. Thanks for the math lesson Andrew!
