PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (Monday, November 9, 2026) — Dollywood and Allegiant partnered for a first-of-its-kind experience for Orlando travelers ready to visit one of the industry’s leading theme parks. The special fan flights, numbered #925 and #2925 in a nod to one of Dolly’s most iconic songs, took off from Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) on Friday, Nov. 6, to deliver passengers to McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) and one of the nation’s leading vacation destinations, the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.

Travelers aboard both flights enjoyed unique Dollywood-themed experiences that included gate celebrations, live entertainment, an in-flight trivia contest, merchandise and more. Passengers then enjoyed special experiences just for them at Dollywood on Nov. 7, 2026, with exclusive ride times on several rides, including the park’s newest addition, NightFlight Expedition. They also were able to celebrate the opening weekend for the park’s iconic Smoky Mountain Christmas presented by Humana, the 15-time and only winner of the Golden Ticket Award for Best Theme Park Christmas Event.

The traveler-favorite airline and Dollywood partnered to provide an exclusive experience for customers looking to disconnect from the world’s distractions and reconnect with each other amid the natural beauty of the Smokies. The flights were announced in February with Flight #925 quickly becoming one of the fastest selling flights in Allegiant’s history.
