Here’s some good news for local travelers: Allegiant Air has just announced new, non-stop flights between Pasco (PSC) and Phoenix-Mesa (IWA). The new service will begin on November 19th and introductory fares will be as low as $59 each way. I should note that this is not Sky Harbor Airport, the main international airport in Phoenix, it’s the smaller Phoenix-Mesa airport about 20 miles east in Mesa. Still … can’t beat it, y’know?

Here are the flight details from Allegiant’s announcement:

The self-proclaimed “Official Airline for Sunshine” will launch the new scheduled service from Tri-Cities Airport to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport with two flights weekly on Thursday and Sunday. Service will begin Nov. 19 with flights departing the Tri-Cities at 4:35 p.m. arriving in Phoenix-Mesa at 8:05 p.m. Flights leaving Phoenix-Mesa will depart at 2:20 p.m. arriving in the Tri-Cities at 3:55 p.m. (all flight times are local.)

Allegiant has been offering Pasco-Vegas flights for a few years now, and I’d guess that the success of those flights led the company to add this new Pasco-Phoenix route.

As you can guess, local business leaders are happy about the news. Jim Klindworth of the Port of Pasco is quoted thusly in the news release:

“We are excited that Allegiant Air will offer nonstop service between Pasco and Phoenix-Mesa. This is an exciting new opportunity that will provide even more options for our traveling public.”

And the Tri-Cities Visitor & Convention Bureau posted on Twitter that it’s “thrilled” about the news.

I think it’s cool, too. I look at it as an excuse to go visit friends in Phoenix and have them take me to see the Seahawks play at the new Arizona Cardinals stadium.
