Nashville travelers will have a new cheap getaway soon, with flights to the beach starting at $55 from BNA next spring. 

Allegiant announced Tuesday that it will start service from Nashville to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport beginning in April. 

As part of a celebration of the new route, the company said in a release, one-way fares will start at $55 once the route begins April 5, 2019. 

“We’re thrilled to grow again in Nashville,” Drew Wells, Allegiant vice president of planning and revenue, said in the release. “In just a few short months, we’ve seen continued growth in Music City, as this community has welcomed us and our brand of friendly, convenient, ultra-low-cost service.” 

The flights are scheduled to fly twice weekly to the eighth service city for Allegiant from Nashville. 

The company said certain conditions apply to the cheap tickets: They must be purchased by Nov. 14 for travel by Aug. 13, 2019.

We appreciate Allegiant’s investment in Nashville and in our airport.”
