Come April it will be only an 11-mile “drive” that won’t require using a freeway to reach San Diego from Manteca.
Allegiant Airlines on April 7 is launching non-stop service to San Diego from Stockton Metro Airport that’s just a short drive away up Airport Way. The airline is offering introductory one-way fares as low as $39. Allegiant currently provides nonstop service from Stockton Metropolitan Airport to Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Flight days, times and the lowest fares can be found only at Allegiant.com.
