Allegiant Air is kicking off exclusive National Football League (NFL) travel packages for fans planning to make the trek this season to catch a Las Vegas Raiders game in Las Vegas (US).

The ‘Las Vegas Review-Journal’ stated that as the official airline of the Raiders and the naming rights partner of the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium, the Las Vegas-based airline is offering NFL packages that include round-trip airline tickets, a minimum two-night hotel stay and tickets to a Raiders home game of their choice.

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league that consists of 32 teams, divided equally between the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference.

The Las Vegas Raiders are a professional American football team based in the Las Vegas metropolitan area (US). The Raiders compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference West division.

The 65,000-capacity Allegiant Stadium is a domed stadium located in Paradise, Nevada, United States. It serves as the home stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels college football team. It also serves as the home of the Las Vegas Bowl, and the Vegas Kickoff Classic.

Stated Scott DeAngelo, Allegiant’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer, in a statement recently, “The home of the Raiders has quickly become an iconic attraction during a Las Vegas getaway. We’re proud to connect NFL fans to one of the world’s premier vacation, entertainment and now sports destinations and doing it the Allegiant way: By providing nonstop, affordable airfare and the convenience of scheduling a one-of-a-kind sports vacation with just a few clicks of a button.”

The ‘Las Vegas Review-Journal’ further stated that the packages include at no extra charge the Allegiant Total bundle, which includes airfare, baggage, seat selection, priority access, and the ability to modify travel plans without fees. Flight times and package prices can be found on Allegiant’s website.

Fans can choose packages for all eight Raiders regular-season home games for the 2022 NFL slate. This season will mark the second with fans at the nearly two-year-old stadium. It will be the first season with fans without any COVID-19 restrictions in place.

Allegiant is looking to capitalize on that by offering the NFL travel bundles and adding limited, one-time-only service in several NFL Cities such as Denver, Houston and Kansas City.

Research conducted by the Nielsen Fan Insights notes that Las Vegas has quickly become the most desirable travel destination among US sports fans.

DeAngelo further said in his statement, “Last season NFL fans voted Allegiant Stadium the number one venue for Overall Gameday Satisfaction, citing the stadium’s cuisine, atmosphere and technology as highlights of their visit.”
