Allegiant Air

I attempted to work directly with Allegiant to resolve this issue, but they sent a canned response and did not actually address the issue. Six of us were flying out for vacation (partly using vouchers from a previous trip where they completely cancelled the flight leaving us stranded in the airport to figure out how to get home on our own, stating they could not get us a flight out for 7 days. They reimbursed only a small fraction of the costs incurred to book a replacement flight with a different airlines, pay for transportation, hotel, food).

Flight 679 Springfield Mo to Orlando Fl - Our flight was set to depart Springfield at 9:37 am arrive 12:53 pm in Orlando. Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes before take off we are informed that there will be a 1 hour delay. Hour later we are told another 1 hour delay. 1 hour later we are told that they don’t know when the flight will be leaving. Later on we are told 4:30 departure. Then we are told a rescue plan will be here at 5:00 then 5:30 then 6:00 then 6:20. 7 hours in they give us hot soda and water. They refuse refunds to several passengers. At 5 pm we are told the rescue plane has landed and will board shortly. Everyone files into line. At 5:52 we are still waiting to board. Everyone sits back down. No update on why we are not boarding. No snacks or food has been made feted after 10 hours 30 minutes.

I was on a return flight from Phoenix/Mesa Gateway airport. There's over 100 people waiting when 5 minutes before boarding the employee announces that all carry ons must have a "sticker" on them proving that we had paid for our carry ons in advance. Any passenger that hadn't paid for their carry ons were required to CHECK it, no matter how small! The price? $50 EACH WAY!!! I watched this woman charge 2 disabled passengers $100 each for small duffle bags that had to be checked! When it comes my turn she makes me put my PURSE INSIDE my carry on bag.

Allegiant is operating a scam with their https://www.allegiantair.com/military-discount program. Nowhere during the reservation process does it allow you to enter your military credentials. Then, after over an hour on hold trying to reach their customer service, I was told the ticket agent would adjust my reservation to credit my baggage and seat fees. Well, once I reached the ticket counter, they told me all they were allowed to do was notate my account, but that I'd need to contact customer service again to actually receive the credit. I've spent over 90 minutes twice now trying to contact customer service and no luck. They know full well what they're doing by saying they have a military discount program to entice you to fly with them, but when it comes time to honor their own program, they make it as difficult as possible to actually receive those benefits.

Where do I begin? Allegiant was delayed two-and-a-half hours late from the 4:10 PM flight I ended up taking on Thursday, July 26th. No explanation, no accurate updates with regards to boarding and departure times. No one at the gate to answer questions or find out why we were so delayed -- despite three BSO officers and two fire-and-rescues showing up without explanation.

This has to be the worst customer service department in the industry! I booked a flight from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach 7/5/18. I tried to contact Allegiant by phone 7/12/18 and was on hold for 1 hr 15 min. I then sent a response request by e-mail and received a confirmation with a comment I would be contacted within 7 days. Having received no contact by 7/20/18 I sent another e-mail request for response and was again sent an automated response from Allegiant that I would be contacted within 7 days. Today, 7/30/18 was my scheduled departure and I still have not received any contact from the airline. I am very displeased with this company and would not recommend them as a business to have dealings with.

Oh, there are so many things, and honestly I was ready to ride you guys off as a lesson learned in low airfare, but you can Now be assured I will be adding to the comments that tell a really ugly tale of your operation. My flight on 5/21, flight 509, was delayed for Six Hours before finally being cancelled at 12:20 am 5/22. During that time, and I really feel for your poor gate attendants, we were constantly told that the plane would either get fixed or another plane would be sent and we'd all get to our destination That Night. We obviously did Not. We were all given the choice to wait and see what happened or to request a refund and try our luck with another airline. Given that the refund would take 5-7 business days, I would have been out at least $300 or so because last minute flights are considerably marked up, so I opted and hoped with optimism that Allegiant would be able to make its commitments.

I have a bad fear of flying. My trip with Allegiant Air changed that! First off I have to mention the price, you couldn't beat it! Second I loved the fact I could fly out from the airport near me. Now for the flight, the plane was nice, cool air, nice attendants, drinks and snacks (for a price) on all trips, the lights were dim and taking off and landing was perfect! I experienced little to no turbulence, I felt safe, the whole process was quick and easy. Because of Allegiant, I will be planning other trips now that I'm not so terrified to fly anymore. I will not fly with anyone else but them! Highly recommend. I traveled with my child and puppy! Thank you!

I've used this airline now for almost 20 years, and there has never been a time where the flight was on time. There has been delays due not enough staff to cover the flight, the flight is delayed coming into the airport due to maintenance issues. This airline charges for everything now, and yet they have the gall to ask the passengers to cross the seat belts and close or open the window shades. I believe that's part of your job. The handling of luggage is horrible, I've so many items broken and even stolen from my suitcase. Not to mention to have my suitcase end up in a completely different state than me. One occasion my mother was flying from Florida to Indiana and due to only having one working plane she was delayed for six hours!!! No food offered, no drinks offered. She and the others were told of the food vending machines available in the gate area. This airline seriously needs to be shut down or better yet all of the CEO and COO to be fired.

Worst plane ever. Old plane. Took an hour just to get people on plane. Captain made us all sit in a hot plane with little to no air conditioning with 100 people for over another hour. We waited 30 min because of lightning which I get. Then the plane engine was broken and we had to wait ANOTHER 10 min just to get back to the gate. Now we are waiting an unknown amount of time for another plane. I get flight delays and waiting but there is no reason to keep 100 people in a stuffy... sweaty... broken plane for close to two hours. I am going to try to get a refund.

My daughter(15) was flying unaccompanied from Sanford, FL to Elmira, NY. We arrived early, checked her bag and got to the gate. 10 minutes before boarding was to begin, her name was called to come to the desk. Due to a weather advisory for Elmira, her ticket was canceled because she was an unaccompanied minor. However, looking at the weather online, the weather forecast is absolutely clear??? Did they overbook the flight and decide to boot off the 3 minors that were flying??? And then, it took over an hour to get her and the other kids rebooked on different flights. I guess paying for Priority Access means nothing. It was very stressful for my daughter???

We have flown Allegiant numerous times due to the convenient routes and reasonable costs. Last night was the last time. I arrived on time to Concord Airport at 4:30 pm. There I sat until 10:30 pm. What added to my frustration was the fact that they lied to us over the PA system when they said our plane was en route to airport. I did not arrive to my destination until 1:30 AM. I really felt bad for the elderly and children on the flight. The children were all crying in the airport. This has happened far too many times. At least 5 times. The $50 voucher just does not cover this awful experience.

There's so many. One incident that I witnessed, is when there was a handicapped senior citizen sitting front row that had to use the facility. He was told that "This restroom is out of service. Go to the end of plane to use that one." Before he got back the copilot and the flight attendant messed with the vacant sign and the copilot proceeded to use that facility up front. Then after finished they switched the sign to broken. I will write more in other reviews.

My Review is two fold: 1) Flight Experiences and 2) Existing Reservation Modifications: 1) Flight Experiences: We have flown Allegiant Air twice from Memphis to Orlando/Sanford. Seats are hard molded plastic with basic pad covering. Seats do not have a reclining feature, which is very uncomfortable for flights that are over two hours long. Flight attendants were mostly agreeable. Bag Check-in lines were very long and only one attendant was on duty. All in all, not the most comfortable flight, but what were we expecting for a third rate airline.

I will never fly with Allegiant Air again. The way this airline does business is deceiving and they knowingly try to take advantage over their customers with add on nickel and dime fees, and poor customer service. I booked my flight for me and my family 2 months in advance. At that time we had 1 checked bag and 1 overhead carry on. We ended up needing 2 checked bags and no longer had use for the 1 overhead carry on. I tried to remove this carry on via their website and app but they don't allow you to do it. You can add bags no problem, but if you want to remove a bag they literally will not let you! I asked the customer service agent at the airport if they could remove the $43.00 bag charge as they could plainly see we did not have an overhead carry on with us. They told me no. I had to call their 1-800 number in order to get reimbursed. Are you kidding me???

They delayed our flight that was due to fly out of Fort Lauderdale on 6/30/18 to Cincinnati by an hour which was fine. Then 20 minutes before we was suppose to leave they announce overhead the flight at been canceled. This is at 7:18 pm on a Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale. We was told by an employee "you are on your own" No help to reschedule or book another flight was offered. We was told that we would get a full refund and they was going to give us a $300 dollar American Express gift card which they did. Went to check balance on gift card and it says $0.00 balance. Still check 2 days later and balance is $0.00 balance. Cannot get through on phone due to high call volume. Have flown Allegiant twice and have been canceled twice. NEVER AGAIN!!!! I want my refund and my gift card ALLEGIANT.

My mom went into the hospital and eventually died. When I was visiting her, I had to change my travel plans home and cancelled my flight so I could sit there and hold her hand. As a result of staying with my mom for several weeks as she slowly passed away, I lost my job. It was humiliating to have to ask Allegiant to have the flight refunded and even more humiliating and heartbreaking to have to go through my things to find the death certificate they demanded. When I sent the death certificate, they decided to only partially refund me, in flight miles, not a credit. The flight cost me FIFTY TWO DOLLARS. This was too big an amount for this company to refund a customer apparently. I will never use them to fly again in my life!

A guy claiming to be **Marvel is an absolute nightmare of an employee. Rude & disrespectful. Doesn’t even begin to explain how horrible he was as the first person I had to see before my flight. First of all, our bags are specifically designed to fit under the seat in all airplanes - but he seemed to want to beg to differ by not allowing me to carry my purse on in addition to my bag. He proceeded to argue with me, my boyfriend, and 6 other passengers about their items - yelling and talking down to all of us! I’ve never been on a plane where I couldn’t carry my purse in addition to my packed bag - never once (He told me I had to pay 50$ for the purse). A small purse, no less. So in order to fit my purse in the bag, it made it so my bag DIDN'T fit in the thing that measures the size of our bags (he made us use the small one for measuring instead of the one that’s the actual size of the seat). He was so so rude to us that I will never fly with this airline again.

How does an airline get away charging you $37 for "Trip Flex" when you purchase a ticket online the day of a flight when it is only usable (to change or cancel) SEVEN days before the start of your itinerary? Isn't this FRAUD? You are unable to click on 'change' or 'cancel' on their website BUT you are able to click on Trip Flex protection when purchasing the ticket even though it is invalid when purchased. You spend an entire day ON HOLD and never reach a human being. "Extraordinary high call volume" my **. More like no one is answering the phones today.

Our trip started June 14th, 2018. The desk personnel at the Memphis airport were very rude. We boarded the plane and had to use the lavatory in flight. It was disgusting with poop on the seat and around the inner rim of the toilet. Then the landing into the Las Vegas airport was terrifying and I felt something was possibly wrong with the plane. That's not the worst part. I received an email from Allegiant stating our flights were cancelled flying back into Memphis on Sunday. Then they offered us a measly 150 dollars a piece for compensation.

My flight from Memphis to Las Vegas was delayed 3 times, causing me to miss out on a chance to spend time with my son in Las Vegas before our family vacation to the Grand Canyon and Zion began. Now, they have canceled my return trip completely on 2 days notice, with no options from them for a week. Sooo, I now have to use all of my Delta miles to get home in time to get to work... They suck, and their customer service sucks. Will never fly with them again. But other than that... They are Great!!!

I am literally surprised I am alive. The turbulence was terrifying, but I know that is somewhat out of their control. However, the landing was horrible. It was obvious we were going way too fast, or we missed the beginning of the runway or something. It most definitely seemed at fault to the pilot. The worst part is there was no apology or anything from the captain or the crew. I was genuinely frightened and felt unsafe on that flight and would have sincerely appreciated more attention from the captain and flight crew.

My issue doesn’t really stem from the travel itself, but rather the customer support. My saga began when I received an in-app notification to check-in for my flight. I began the check-in process and planned to change my seat assignment (I was traveling with my 11 month old son and thought it would be best for everyone if I reserved a window seat). I was more than willing to pay $25 for this “upgrade”. So I selected my new seat, but there was an issue with the check out process (not sure what).

I booked an airline ticket through this airline. Big mistake. It was advertised as one price and I had to call because the website said I made a mistake and wouldn't let me book the ticket. When I called I was told that was the wrong price and they doubled the price that I was charged. I have had to call them everyday for five days and was put on hold for a long period of time. I needed my confirmation e-mailed to me and they sent the wrong information. At this time I had to call again to get the right information. I finally got it without the carry on bag listed so I had to call back again being put on hold again to add carry on bag. I will never ever use this airline again. I have a list of names of people I talked to with very little help and I am scared my granddaughter is flying in on a paper plane.

Missed my first flight so their policy is that the entire trip is then canceled and you get NO REFUNDS. Talk about fine print: No-Show Policy: "Failure to board a flight or to change or cancel an itinerary within the specified cancellation policies set forth in the Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a customer-initiated cancellation and the remaining itinerary, including any return flights, will be canceled and all funds will be forfeited." How do they get away with this? Please write a review if this happened to you.

This is just to alert you that I am a very dissatisfied customer after my first -- and probably only -- trip flying with Allegiant. The airline did not just reschedule my flight and reschedule it for the next day, completely indifferent to the fact I -- and other passengers -- had to work the next day. While Allegiant was able to put me on a later flight to Knoxville, the company is too miserly and greedy to compensate for the added expense I will incur renting a car to drive from Knoxville to Roanoke, VA.

I was on a recent flight from Cleveland to Jacksonville and wanted to give my feedback. I have flown a lot and this was, by far, the most fun flight I've ever been on!! The stewardess was more than entertaining! She had our entire group of passengers answering trivia questions (some questions were even from the pilots) to win some free snacks. In this time of most people complaining, I wanted to let you know that I would love to fly with this stewardess again! I don't remember her name (which was one of her questions) but she made the flight!! If only all flights were like this!!

This Airline is an absolute joke. The flight attendants were rude and ill-mannered with no edict whatsoever. There is absolutely no customer service. Attendants at ticketing and check-in are unbelievably condescending and not customer service oriented at all. I was so taken back at how awful the service with this airline was and how unprofessional the flight attendants were... I had burned myself, "second-degree burn" on my right hand. I asked for a first aid kit but was told in blow it off kind of manner, that they just simply didn't have anything to treat burns... OH how nice... no first aid kit? That's comforting...

The price and getting there on time. The attendants are polite and friendly and the plane is clean. We usually leave out our Lexington, KY airport. The only time we have ever been delayed is because of weather in Florida.

I am disabled, the staff goes out of their way to make sure a person is comfortable. Very friendly and about 25 minutes in the air, they serve you. I usually do not buy anything because I am not willing to pay the high price. $6.00 for a bottle of beer. I paid for my ticket & I think this Airline is making enough money that they shouldn't have to charge an arm and a leg for soda, snacks etc.
