Allegiant debuts Dolly‑themed Flight #925 linking Orlando to Dollywood experience

Dolly‑themed flight links Orlando to Dollywood experience

Allegiant Air is launching a one‑of‑a‑kind themed service, Flight #925: Destination Dollywood, that ties an airline journey directly to a theme‑park visit. The low‑cost carrier says the specially numbered flight departs Orlando/Sanford (SFB) for Knoxville (TYS) on Nov. 6, 2026 as a tribute to Dolly Parton’s anthem “9 to 5.” Passengers on the flight receive themed gate celebrations, live entertainment from Dollywood talent, trivia, themed food and beverages, exclusive commemorative merchandise and in‑flight surprises.

The experience continues in Dollywood on Nov. 7 for customers who add park admission, where Allegiant and the park offer complimentary exclusive ride time, reserved show seating, special treats and access to Dollywood’s new NightFlight Expedition coaster. Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas, a 15‑time Golden Ticket Award winner for Best Theme Park Christmas Event, is an anchor of the package. “We want to embrace the joy of travel and deliver great value and unforgettable moments from check‑in through arrival,” Allegiant Chief Commercial Officer Drew Wells says, while Eugene Naughton, president of Dollywood Parks & Resorts, calls the tie‑up an honour and highlights Allegiant’s record of providing convenient, high‑value service from the Orlando area.

Allegiant describes Flight #925 as its first‑ever themed flight and positions it as part of a broader effort to create distinctive travel products that drive leisure demand. The company markets the collaboration as a way to combine affordable airfare with curated destination programming that targets families seeking seasonal trips centered on music, culture and immersive theme‑park experiences. A company news release dated Feb. 17, 2026 says additional announcements and surprises are forthcoming as the flight date approaches, with the stated aim of helping guests disconnect and reconnect amid the Great Smoky Mountains.

Route and market focus

The SFB–TYS link underscores Allegiant’s strategy of serving point‑to‑point leisure routes and non‑hub airports, using seasonal and themed offerings to stimulate ticket sales from Orlando‑area travellers seeking short‑break destinations.

Commercial and operational notes

Allegiant is selling the flight as a bundled experience that allows customers to add park tickets and receive extra park benefits, a move that can boost ancillary revenue while promoting combined marketing of air and attraction services. The carrier and Dollywood say they will release further details on pricing, booking and additional on‑board and park activations in the lead‑up to November.
