That unique themed flight experience will arrive on November 6 for travelers flying between Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) and McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The aptly named Flight 925: Destination Dollywood is a nod to one of Parton’s most popular songs, “9 to 5,” and promises travelers the opportunity to “celebrate the best in life as Allegiant and Dollywood Parks & Resorts light up the skies and the Smokies with attractions, gifts, music, food and laughter,” according to the press release.
The Dollywood-themed fun will begin as soon as Flight 925 travelers arrive at the airport and will continue throughout the flight, with gate celebrations, live entertainment straight from Dollywood, trivia, themed food and drinks, commemorative merchandise and more.
“Flight 925 is about embracing the joy of travel,” Drew Wells, Allegiant’s chief commercial officer, said in the news release. “Partnering with Dollywood Parks & Resorts allows us to offer a unique experience that reflects the best of both brands: great value, unforgettable moments and the opportunity to create memories from the moment you step aboard.”

Dollywood offers two on-site hotel options: Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort & Spa and Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort.

“This route to Knoxville’s McGhee Tyson Airport is among Allegiant’s most popular, so creating a Dollywood-themed flight made perfect sense. Guests aboard flight #925 will enjoy a fast and fun way to get to the Smokies, where they can experience NightFlight Expedition, our new adventure coaster, along with our award-winning holiday festival featuring more than 6 million lights,” said Eugene Naughton, president of The Dollywood Company. “We are excited to welcome our Orlando-area friends with several exclusive behind-the-scenes park experiences to add even more memories to their Smoky Mountain vacation.”

The airline already operates seasonal service between Orlando and Knoxville, with direct flights once or twice a day lasting approximately 1.5 hours. You will pay a premium for this special experience. The typical fare is around $100, but at the time of this writing, Allegiant’s Dollywood-themed flight was just over $300.
Tickets for Flight 925 can now be booked on Allegiant’s website and mobile app.
