Allegiant Announces New Nonstop Service to Savannah, Plus a Special Limited Route for Sturgis Rally 2021

On Feb. 9, Allegiant announced service from Appleton to Savannah, Georgia via Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) beginning May 28. 

Additionally, Allegiant will offer a special limited route to Rapid City, South Dakota via Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP) beginning Aug. 4. The route will provide an affordable option to those who plan to attend the City of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August.

The annual 10-day event, just a few miles outside of Rapid City, is a major draw for motorcycle aficionados in addition to what Rapid City has to offer outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs. It is the nearest city to the Badlands National Park, Black Hills National Forest, Crazy Horse Memorial and Mount Rushmore.

“Savannah is one of the most sought-after destinations in our network, and we’re excited to bring Appleton residents a convenient, affordable option to experience all that the historic area has to offer,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s senior vice president of revenue. “In addition, our special limited service to Rapid City is the perfect way for motorcycle enthusiasts to catch all the excitement of the Sturgis Rally, whether they drop in for a weekend or stay for the duration.”

The new seasonal flights will operate twice weekly.

“We’re thrilled to expand our Allegiant service to two new vacation destinations, with nonstop flights to Savannah and Rapid City,” said Abe Weber, Appleton airport director. “Travelers can now get a taste of Savannah’s Southern charm, culture, and cuisine now only a short flight away. From Rapid City, travelers can visit South Dakota’s stunning outdoor parks and famous monuments. It also gives people an easy and affordable way to get to the popular Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.”
