Travelers in the Greater Cincinnati region now have a direct, year‑round option to reach Orlando, Florida. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) announced that Allegiant Air will launch nonstop service to Orlando beginning in February.
New route details
The airline will operate the route on a regular schedule, with flight days and times available on the CVG website. Initial one‑way fares have been listed as low as $53, making the connection affordable for families planning vacations, seniors visiting relatives, and business travelers heading to the Central Florida market.
Airport leadership welcomes the addition
“Orlando is consistently one of the most popular travel destinations from our region and we’re pleased that Allegiant continues to expand its service at CVG with this new flight option,” said Chad Summe, Board Chair of CVG Airport. The statement underscores the airport’s ongoing effort to broaden its route network and provide convenient options for the community.
Impact on local families and the economy
For many households in northern Kentucky and the surrounding Cincinnati area, the new nonstop service eliminates the need to connect through larger hubs, reducing travel time and simplifying logistics for school trips, family reunions, and leisure trips to Florida’s theme parks and beaches. Local tourism businesses anticipate a boost in outbound travel, while the airport expects increased passenger traffic to support jobs and ancillary services such as parking, rental cars, and on‑site retail.
How to book
Tickets for the new route are already on sale through Allegiant’s website and major travel booking platforms. Travelers are encouraged to check the CVG flight schedule page for the most up‑to‑date departure times and to consider purchasing early to lock in the promotional fares.
Broader travel trends
The addition of a nonstop Orlando flight aligns with a national trend of regional airports expanding direct connections to leisure destinations. As airlines adjust to post‑pandemic demand, airports like CVG are positioning themselves as convenient gateways for both vacationers and business travelers, reinforcing the importance of accessible air service for local economies.
With the new Allegiant service, CVG continues to fulfill its role as a transportation hub that supports the mobility needs of families, businesses, and the broader community in the Greater Cincinnati area.
