Have you ever daydreamed of trading in the palm trees of Florida for the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains, all while humming a Dolly Parton tune? Well, your dream may soon become a reality. Allegiant has just introduced a groundbreaking “fan flight” experience, promising to transform a regular trip into a sky-high celebration of all things Dolly.
Dubbed Flight #925 in homage to one of music history’s most iconic anthems, this themed journey departs from Orlando Sanford International Airport on Friday, November 6, 2026. It aims to transport fans directly to East Tennessee for a vacation that begins the moment they arrive at the gate.
President of Dollywood Parks & Resorts, Eugene Naughton, expressed excitement over the new route to Knoxville’s McGhee Tyson Airport, a popular Allegiant destination. He mentioned that the Dollywood-themed Flight #925 offers a fast and enjoyable way for guests to reach the Smoky Mountains, where they can enjoy attractions like the NightFlight Expedition adventure coaster and the award-winning Christmas festival boasting over 6 million lights.
The excitement continues upon touchdown at McGhee Tyson Airport. Passengers with park tickets can access exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences at Dollywood on November 7, perfectly timed to coincide with the park’s renowned Smoky Mountain Christmas event, a 15-time Golden Ticket Award winner with millions of sparkling lights.
In addition to the festive atmosphere, visitors can also be among the first to experience NightFlight Expedition, Dollywood’s new $50 million immersive indoor coaster inspired by the synchronous fireflies of the Smokies. The ride has contributed to East Tennessee being named one of the best places to visit in the US in 2026 by Condé Nast Traveler.
Whether you desire a break from the distractions of the world or simply want to bask in the glow of 6 million twinkling lights, Flight #925 offers the perfect opportunity to seek adventure in the mountains. So grab a cup of ambition and embark on a journey to remember.
