Allegiant has free flight drawing for trip to Fort Myers

As part of Allegiant Air’s kickoff of its twice-a-week flights from MidAmerica Airport to Punta Gorda/Fort Myers, the airline is holding a contest for a free flight to the Florida destination.

Travelers may go to MidAmerica on Feb. 18 with their bags packed and ready to fly. One winner will be chosen at random on the spot to win round trip airfare and hotel stay for two to Punta Gorda/Fort Myers.

Travelers 21 and older can enter the contest at the Allegiant ticket counter at MidAmerica between 6:45 and 7:45 a.m. The winner will be randomly selected at 7:55 a.m.

People who show up in tropical attire will receive two entries, Allegiant said.

The flight departs MidAmerica St. Louis Airport at 9:55 a.m. on Thurs., Feb. 18. The return flight is on Sun., Feb. 21.

People who have already purchased tickets for Feb. 18 flights to Fort Myers are not eligible for the contest, according to the airline.
