‘Excited to welcome our Orlando-area friends’
“We’re honored that Allegiant asked Dollywood Parks & Resorts to partner with them for their first-ever themed flight for fans,” said Eugene Naughton, president of Dollywood Parks & Resorts. “Allegiant has long provided travelers in the Orlando area with a convenient, high-value way to visit the Smoky Mountains, one of the nation’s leading family vacation destinations.
“This route to Knoxville’s McGhee Tyson Airport is among Allegiant’s most popular, so creating a Dollywood-themed flight made perfect sense. Guests aboard flight #925 will enjoy a fast — and fun — way to reach the Smokies, where they can experience NightFlight Expedition, our brand-new adventure coaster, along with our award-winning Christmas festival featuring more than six million lights. We’re excited to welcome our Orlando-area friends with several exclusive, behind-the-scenes park experiences to add even more memories to their Smoky Mountain vacation.”
