Unlike the service to Orlando, Allegiant Air will have virtually no competition on this route. Akron and Cleveland do not offer nonstop service to Myrtle Beach, while Pittsburgh offers nonstop service three days per week to Myrtle Beach on a charter carrier known as DirectAir, but their fares begin at $129 one way. With the low fares being offered, this route should be not only be a hit with the people of the Mahoning Valley, but also with fliers from Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Pittsburgh. If marketed correctly, I believe this route could be an enormous success for Allegiant and YNG.
In addition to the announcement of service to Myrtle Beach on Wednesday, Allegiant Air's Sales Director John Fenyes hinted that a third destination could be added very soon if the Myrtle Beach route succeeds this summer. Although everyone would like to see flights offered to Las Vegas, the 1800 mile distance may be too far on the MD83 aircraft that Allegiant currently flies.
If I were willing to guess, Allegiant's next move at Youngstown would be to add flights to either Ft. Lauderdale or St. Petersburg, FL, their other two hub/focus cities in Florida. The bottom line is this: The Mahoning Valley needs to continue to support the flights to Orlando and Myrtle Beach so more flights can be added in the near future. It may also be worth noting that one of the reasons Allegiant added Myrtle Beach service because so many people in the Mahoning Valley called their HQ in Las Vegas demanding it. If you would like to see Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, or even Las Vegas offered from Youngstown, consider calling 1–702–505–8888.

On Wednesday, Allegiant Air announced that beginning April 22nd, they would be offering nonstop jet service between the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport and Myrtle Beach International Airport with fares beginning at $49 one way. For those prices, this is a deal the Mahoning Valley cannot beat.Unlike the service to Orlando, Allegiant Air will have virtually no competition on this route.
