Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air will begin offering nonstop flights between Las Vegas and Bakersfield, Calif., beginning in November.
Flights will be offered three times a week, Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays, on Allegiant’s 150-passenger MD-80 twin-engine jets.
Beginning Nov. 17, flights will leave McCarran International Airport at 5 p.m., arriving just over an hour later at Bakersfield’s Meadows Fields Airport. The return flights will leave Bakersfield at 6:45 p.m., arriving in Las Vegas at 7:50.
Fares are about $39 to $49 one way, but Allegiant is introducing the route with $30 one-way tickets, which have to be purchased by Oct. 20 for travel through March 8. Those prices are without baggage and other add-on fees.
Allegiant has flights to and from 40 destinations from Las Vegas and would be the only carrier serving the Bakersfield market.
