    We recently made an honest mistake by booking a trip in Feb instead of March. After holding over an hour on the phone and finally speaking to someone, we were unable to get very far and would have lost out on a lot of money. We drove to Clearwater (PIE) and actually went to the counter where we had the pleasure of dealing with John **. He made a phone call for us without hesitation, and we were able to cancel the Feb trip and book the March trip! He was wonderful to work with! Thank you John for your help and making it so easy for us!!

    When checking in at Punta Gorda Airport, Suzanne noticed we had a typo on our boarding pass. We instantly were concerned this would delay our flight and possibly miss the plane. Suzanne reassured us she would make sure that didn’t happen! She was amazing! She quickly fixed our boarding pass error and even upgraded us to first class! Truly went above and beyond—outstanding customer service! Thank you Suzanne! You are the best!

      Love love that Allegiant flies direct from Denver to Idaho Falls Idaho!!! I’ve taken this flight several times and really hope they continue with this flight schedule! Please don’t drop this flight! Many people have commented on convenience to fly direct at affordable prices!!! I will definitely continue to use this flight with this airline!

      We flew from Huntington WV to Myrtle Beach SC. We had 2 wheelchair assist passengers. Every employee was more than happy to assist. They did it with a smile and genuine concern, from transporting to and from plane as well as front desk check in and checking through TSA. Your kindness and service was very much appreciated. Thank you!

      My trip from Bangor Maine to FL was very good, timewise and nice flight attendants. I'm writing because there wasn't one healthy option of foods. Could Allegiant please offer at least one decent snack item like nuts w/out seed oils, dried fruits, Mary's Crackers, goat cheese? Not only do I have an autoimmune illness but all you served are loaded with inflammatory ingredients for anyone. One healthy option? I couldn't have one thing on both flights.

      We're supposed to leave Cedar Rapids at 720 pm on 2/23/2026 to Fort Lauderdale and we didn't board until 8 because they were late. And then they had us wait on plane saying there's something wrong with plane and mechanic would be just a little bit. Another hour after that, they tell us to get off the plane because mechanic still not there. It's 1031pm and we were told we can't leave and come back in, because airport is closed. However we just watched a damn Casey's Pizza go in the gate. So I guess they are eating as we are stuck here with everything closed and still waiting.

      If there was - stars I would have given that. Allegiant air is the worst airline I have ever flown with and I am a frequent flyer. I've flown with allegiant 5 times and 4 times they were delayed serious hours. But this one takes the cake. Bellingham to Las Vegas 2-1/2 hour flight delayed us for maintenance by stringing us along delaying us 2 hours at a time then finally delaying us 12 hours. Total BS Allegiant. You have lost a customer and I will tell everyone I know about your disregard for your customers. If I ran my business the way you guys do I would be out of business. 1 12.00 food voucher given in 3 hours. Taken away from our vacation. You have pissed off a lot people! I WILL.NEVER FLY WITH ALLEGIANT AGAIN!

      My 70-year-old mother had wheelchair assistance clearly noted on her reservation. She underwent a hip replacement earlier this year and is awaiting knee replacement surgery. While she can walk very short distances, she is not physically able to walk through airport security or navigate the terminal. She was refused wheelchair assistance by an Allegiant agent. The agent was extremely rude, raised her voice at my mother, and stated that wheelchair assistance would not be available until 6:00 AM, which would be after the final boarding. When another Allegiant passenger attempted to advocate on her behalf, that passenger was also spoken to disrespectfully. As a result, my mother was left crying in the airport. A kind passenger eventually offered to help locate a wheelchair and assist her, but this individual is not on my mother’s flight, and I had no assurance that my mother would be able to complete boarding safely.

      This situation was especially critical because my mother is an organ transplant recipient. If she missed her flight home, she risked not having timely access to her anti-rejection medication, which could lead to organ rejection and life-threatening consequences. Denying pre-arranged wheelchair assistance and subjecting a disabled passenger to this treatment is a serious violation of the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). This incident caused my mother significant emotional distress and placed her health at risk. I am appalled at how this was handled. The employee involved, Lavita, is a manager, which makes the lack of professionalism and compassion particularly troubling. If she lacks compassion for elderly or disabled passengers, she is in the wrong line of work. Equally concerning is Allegiant’s failure to ensure consistent and appropriate handling of passengers who require mobility assistance.

      When I booked airfare for my son and his girlfriend, I decided to add Allegiant's Tripflex in case they cancelled, so I could get a full credit voucher without change fees. Instead, the prompt that popped up was for an Allianz travel insurance policy, completely useless unless the problem was medical or employment. So, watch for details. I lost the cost of the insurance and change fees. Contacting Allegiant to cancel the flights was incredibly hard. The online system kept prompting me to call a number that then disconnected. Finally worked through the chat.

      All the reviews saying that these guys lie are true. I am really shocked! We were waiting for our flight to Iowa for Christmas on Dec 18, which kept saying delayed. After waiting a long time the flight suddenly said CANCELLED. We went to the counter where the only staff person there was a bagger. He said "It's cancelled. Call for a refund or change." No help to get another flight. I asked why it was cancelled he said "Bad weather in Des Moines. Flights are grounded." These flights are shuttle flights back and forth between the same two cities. It was coming from Des Moines to Austin and back to Des Moines.

      In shock because we'd been speaking with family in Des Moines all along and there was no bad weather, we called Allegiant and were on hold for over an hour. When we got an agent he said there are no seats left on the Dec 21st flight. We'd have to book the Dec 24th flight, which meant our elderly parents (in their late 80's) would have to leave their Christmas cabin late on Christmas eve to pick us up (it will be our last year there as our parents are old and unwell, and quite a ways from the airport at that point). We booked it but considered cancelling.

      Next morning we got online and looked for flights and seats. We found that Allegiant's Dec 21st flight was only half full, but they were asking for more money for the seats so clearly were not going to honor their voucher due to THEIR cancellation for that flight. Angry at having been lied to about seats for the flight on the 21st, I checked weather events and flight cancellations in Des Moines on the 18th. I checked multiple reliable sights. The wind was 21 mph, no snow, no rain, no significant weather events at all! NO FLIGHTS WERE GROUNDED! NO OTHER FLIGHTS CANCELLED AT ALL.

      Then we realized something upsetting. We go every year and normally there's a long line. This year almost no one was there at all. We saw at most two other small families, on one in line. One person approaced after it was cancelled. The terminal was close to empty. Horrified we realized that they cancelled the trip because it wasn't worth flying! There may have been other circumstances that added to it, but in the end we believe that the low profitability was very likely what finalized their decision.

      The flight was cancelled two and half hours before the flight was set to leave Austin. They had plenty of time to fly in and we, and anyone else, would have happily waited for any amount of delays given that they only fly this route this twice a week. The way the whole thing has been handled has been with a massive lack of transparency, dishonesty at very least about cause, and dishonesty about available seats. Unreliable, dishonest, terrible customer service!
