DES MOINES, IOWA — Getting to the East Coast from Des Moines is about to get easier. The Des Moines International Airport and Allegiant Air on Tuesday announced two non-stop destinations that will take off beginning next Spring.

Allegiant will offer direct flights twice per week to Jacksonville, Florida and Boston, Massachusetts beginning in late May. The Jacksonville route will operate on Thursdays and Sundays while the Boston flight will run on Mondays and Fridays.

The addition of the Allegiant routes brings the number of non-stop destinations out of Des Moines to 33.
