Orlando–based AirTran Airways announced this weekend the addition of nonstop flights on Saturdays between Branson Airport and Orlando International Airport beginning Dec. 19, 2009, making it even easier to travel between two of the country’s most popular family destinations. AirTran was the first national carrier to offer service out of Branson when the airport opened last December.
“The addition of low-cost nonstop Orlando service is a welcomed addition to AirTran’s presence at Branson Airport,” said Jeff Bourk, executive director, Branson Airport. “The new service will make it easy and convenient for folks, in southwest Missouri and northern Arkansas, to travel to the exciting vacation destination of Orlando to enjoy the beautiful weather during the winter months.”
In addition, the carrier announced a nationwide sale this morning, with one-way fares starting as low as $39. Tickets must be purchased by Oct. 13, 2009 for travel through Jan. 27, 2010. Fares do not require a roundtrip purchase or overnight stay, however some blackout dates apply: Nov. 25 and Nov. 28 to 30, and Dec. 18 through Jan. 4, 2010. Also note that service to/from Newark International Airport ends Oct. 25, and seasonal service to/from San Diego ends Oct. 30.
