The City of El Paso held a press conference this morning to announce that a new airline will begin offering nonstop flights out of El Paso on May 6. Allegiant Air will offer nonstop roundtrip flights to San Diego and Las Vegas on Mondays and Fridays.

There is a catch for the $39 price, it's valid until January 13 for one way tickets. A spokesman for the international airport says the new airline will bring more jobs to the Borderland. It's possible that more flights will be added in the future to other cities.

On hand at the press conference the Amigo Man!
