Buckle Up, Buttercup: Airlines with Wings to Key West
Now, you might be thinking, "What airlines even fly out of Indy to that little island way down south?" Well, fret no more, because you've got a couple of options:
- Allegiant Air: These guys are all about getting you there fast and (hopefully) cheap. Think of them as the Southwest Airlines of the Midwest, but with a slightly higher chance of getting serenaded by a toddler the entire flight.
- American Airlines: Our good friends at American offer connecting flights, so you might have a layover in Charlotte or Miami. Hey, look at it as an extra chance to grab some airport snacks (because, let's be honest, airline food ain't exactly gourmet).
Important Note: This isn't an exhaustive list, so be sure to do your own comparison shopping to find the best deal and travel time for your tropical adventure.
