ORLANDO-SANFORD

This winter, Allegiant Air is resuming nonstop service to Orlando-Sanford November 21 and will operate the service through the winter, making it easier than ever to escape the cold and enjoy a sunny getaway. With flights operating conveniently on Fridays and Saturdays, travelers can head south without worrying about layovers or complicated connections. Orlando-Sanford International Airport (SFB) is smaller and more relaxed than the main Orlando airport, meaning you’ll spend less time navigating crowds and more time starting your vacation.

Once you land, the possibilities are endless. Orlando offers world-famous theme parks, shopping, and entertainment, while Sanford and the surrounding areas provide charming downtowns, nature trails, and easy access to beaches like Daytona and New Smyrna. Winter is one of the best times to visit, with mild weather perfect for exploring outdoors. Whether you’re planning family fun at the parks, a relaxing beach trip, or a mix of both, Allegiant’s new nonstop flights to Orlando-Sanford are your ticket to a warm and stress-free winter escape.  Planning is easy with Visit Orlando, and flights are ready to book now at AllegiantAir.com.
