Ah, Allegiant Airline, the airline that manages to keep its fares nearly as low as its reputation. Decidedly my favourite way to travel in the good old "you get what you pay for" fashion. And I'm just brimming with excitement to inform you, dear traveler, about the experience that awaits you on your journey from Asheville to Punta Gorda Airport.
It all begins at the Asheville Regional Airport. Now, if you've never flown out of a smaller regional airport before, you're in for a real treat! Imagine being able to breeze through security without all the hustle and bustle of those larger, fancier airports? Delightful, isn't it? Not to mention that you can practically land from any part of the city within 20 minutes, thanks to the ever-present Asheville traffic – another cherry on the cake, am I right?
When it comes to seating, we all know nothing beats the comfort and luxury of Allegiant's uniquely slim seats with negligible legroom, reminding us with every prod how we indeed saved a few dollars. Make sure to pack your earplugs and neck pillows. You’re going to need them to survive this flight. And, my favorite feature of all – the 'bring your own refreshment policy'. What could be more charming than a neighbor eating a tuna sandwich next to you in such intimate quarters? Choice, dear travellers, freedom of choice. That's luxury!
Around halfway through the flight, try distracting yourself from the slightly cramped conditions by peering out the window at the glorious sight below. The patchwork farmland, rolling hills, and glistening lakes of Georgia and Florida would make even the most cynical heart soar (unless of course, you're seated by the aisle, or night time is upon us).
The highlight of this breathtaking journey undoubtedly arrives when your plane lands at the Punta Gorda Airport. It’s small-town essence and sultry Florida weather give you an immediate sense of being whisked away to a cozy tropical haven. The single terminal allows for smooth navigation without a need for an airport tram or escalators, talk about preservation of energy, right?.
But wait, there's more! Punta Gorda, a Southwest Florida hidden gem, full of pristine shorelines and plenty of outdoor activities. Your Allegiant journey merely sets the tone for your real adventure in Punta Gorda. And who knows, after a few days in sunny Florida, you might forget all about your auspicious and memorable Allegiant flight. Then again, you have the return journey to look forward to!
All in all, when you choose to fly Allegiant, from Asheville to Punta Gorda, you learn to appreciate the simpler things in life. Like functioning seat belts and a soft landing. Bon voyage dear travelers, Bon voyage.
