Allegiant Air added four temporary flights to allow for fans of select NFL teams to travel to away games, including for Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs supporters to fly to Las Vegas for matchups against the Raiders.
The Las Vegas-based airline is adding flights to cater to fans of the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills along with the Chiefs and Steelers faithful.
