Nonstop Flights to Alabama's Beaches
Planning your getaway to Alabama’s Beaches just got even easier. We’re thrilled to announce even more new nonstop flight markets launching with Allegiant Air, including major hubs like Nashville, Huntsville, and St. Louis! With more nonstop routes than ever before, you can go from takeoff to toes-in-the-sand in just a few short hours. Your perfect beach escape is officially just one nonstop flight away.
Beach Days Sooner with Allegiant Air
All nonstop flights are less than three hours and land at Gulf Shores International Airport (GUF), just three miles from the beach. There’s so much you can do with all the time you’ll save! From the airport, guests can call shuttles, taxis, or ride-share services like Lyft or Uber to take them to their accommodation. We suggest arranging transportation in advance to secure a ride. If you prefer to have a vehicle for your entire trip, book a rental car so you can easily get around the destination.

Flight Tips
Allegiant App
Before you fly, download the Allegiant app for a paperless mobile boarding pass. With the app, you’ll be able to check in to your flight 24 hours in advance, view your seats, and pre-check bags.
Baggage
Passengers are allowed one free personal item on all flights and can purchase additional carry-on bags. To save time, you can also pre-purchase checked bags up to 50 pounds, so all you must do is check them in when you arrive at the airport.
Transportation
Once you arrive, you can easily get to your accommodation with a Lyft or Uber. If you prefer to have a vehicle for the duration of your stay, you can rent a car from Enterprise or Alamo, which you can reserve at baggage claim. You can also pre-reserve a rental vehicle with Turo, which will be available for pickup on site at the airport. We suggest reserving a car in advance to ensure you secure a rental that meets your needs.
Extra Time Ideas
You’ve packed and checked out of your accommodations, and now, you’re left with several hours before your flight back home. Most check-out times are around 11 am, but many Allegiant flights from Gulf Shores International Airport don’t depart until late afternoon or evening. What do you do with all your extra time? We have a few fun ideas on how to enjoy your last few hours on Alabama’s Beaches.
Lodging Options with Rentals
We’ve compiled a list of places to stay where you can rent beach necessities like chairs and umbrellas, as well as water vessels such as Jet skis, kayaks, and banana boats. Whether you prefer relaxation or adventure, these accommodations with on-site rentals make hitting the beach a breeze.
