Flying to and from Montrose became more affordable this winter with the arrival of the region’s newest airline, Allegiant Air, and this month local tourism organizations are sweetening the pot with a special deal.
The Telluride Montrose Regional Air Organization, Telluride Ski & Golf and the Crested Butte Mountain Resort have teamed up to offer a two for one ticket deal. Travelers can purchase two tickets for the price of one to fly with Allegiant to and from Montrose and either Phoenix, Ariz. or Oakland, Calif. The deal expires Jan. 31.
According to Michael Martelon, president of the Telluride Tourism Board, the deal is aimed at filling flights into the area.
“To my knowledge, there is no program in the industry where travelers can get two for one airline tickets and skiing opportunities at two of the country’s top resorts,” said Martelon. “It’s unheard of to have this kind of option, and we’re excited to be able to offer it.”
According to a release, this winter, Allegiant is offering fare from Phoenix starting at $46.99 one-way or $93.98 round-trip. Flights from Oakland are priced the same as the Phoenix ones, and the two for one offer is based on availability. Tickets must be purchased by Jan 31.
