Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) today celebrates its 300th flight with Make-A-Wish by flying wish kid Serena, age 17, to Honolulu, Hawaii to learn how to surf. This is the 300th wish for which Allegiant has provided complimentary travel since 2012.

Allegiant flew more than 150 wish kids, like Serena, to their wish destination in 2014 alone.

"We're extremely excited to celebrate this 300th wish milestone, and we hope Serena and her family have a great time on their trip," said Brian Davis, Allegiant Travel Company vice president of marketing. "Allegiant team members are passionate about our relationship with Make-A-Wish and making wish flights a special experience for the families."
