Allegiant Air is a no-frills airline that offers direct flights during the summer months from OKC to Sanford, FL.
No-frills means you pay airfare and then add-on prices for everything else, like seat choices (prices vary), carry-on bags ($36.00), checked bags ($50.00), and in-flight refreshments (prices vary).
The direct flight and the low prices appealed to me. We spent a little less than $200.00 per ticket, with 2 carry-on bags and no checked bags. Since there were 3 of us we came in right at $600.00 for flights. If we had driven we would have spent approximately $300.00 on fuel plus 2 extra nights in a hotel, which probably would have come in at another $300.00. So, for three people it was essentially a wash to fly and we didn't need the 2 extra days added to our trip.
The plane we flew both directions were older MD-80s (still outfitted with ashtrays), but both our inbound and outbound flights were on time (yeah!) and not overbooked (double yeah!). Sanford is a small and easy to navigate airport with on-premise rental car agencies. On the flight home we pulled into the airport at 7:30 am, then returned the car to Hertz and were through security by 7:46 am. Easy-peasy. (Note that we did not check bags.)
The sketchiest thing about the entire experience was this bathroom sign. Why do I need a special disposal place for straight edge razors?
