Worst airline ever, always delays and cancellations. Thank goodness Breeze Airlines is coming to Latrobe PA.
Reviewed Oct. 26, 2026
One star is lot for this airline. The worst airline in the world, from workers to pilots to plane always late cancellation every time I fly with them. Always say this is the last time but no more giving them any more chances. I fly weekly to Washington from Florida but no more. Southwest is way better even though they have their own problems but I guess they have less problems than this bus airline.

Allegiant Air’s cancellation policy is STUPID. I will NEVER book this airline again. As a first time customer I was highly disappointed. When my travel plans change unexpectedly, I would hope this airline like others I have booked in the past would show some understanding and offer reasonable solutions. Instead, I felt like my money and time mean absolutely NOTHING to them. The lack of flexibility, confusing restrictions, and fees make the entire experience incredibly stressful. It’s ridiculous to feel penalized for circumstances that are sometimes completely out of your control. Customer service should be about helping people find solutions, not making an already frustrating situation even worse.
For an airline that advertises affordable travel, the cancellation experience can left me feeling like the savings simply aren’t worth the headache. We deserve transparency, flexibility, and fair treatment—not a policy that leaves us feeling trapped and ripped off. I would think twice before booking with Allegiant Air again. A cheap ticket isn’t much of a bargain when changing your plans becomes a nightmare. Do better, Allegiant. Your customers deserve better than this.

Avoid traveling this airline at all costs. Unprofessional flight attendants who will disrespect you and then play victim and call the police. Made it difficult for my 7 year old to go to the bathroom (after being delayed) and when I asked for her name to write a review, she started screaming that I was harassing her and accused my husband and I of assaulting her. She called the captain and got police involved at the end of the flight- captain didn’t speak to me and police said it was ridiculous they were even called. She alleged that there was a camera in the plane capturing the incident, which I wanted law enforcement to review, but there was no camera. Completely unstable, unprofessional, and an embarrassment to Allegiant.

We paid for Priority and they call Priority and Zone 1 together. What a cluster of a line. Although many Americans buy Priority so they don't get stuck in the jet way, this was a real offensive day from ACY to Sanford. I am spoiled by Breeze.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews of this airline as I found the experience wonderful... and I don't say that lightly. They had intelligent boarding, courteous yet direct staff and an overall excellent flight strategy. I flew them for the first time out of Atlantic City, NJ to Ft Lauderdale, FL and back now that Spirit is gone. Despite the fact there was a lot of turbulence because of the Nor’easter and the fasten seat belt signs were on the entire flight, I still found it to be a near perfect trip. Everything was on time and the crew was excellent.
I don't fly as much as I used to, but I would highly recommend this airline to anyone budget or not. Whatever your doing as an airline for training, I highly suggest you keep it up. The plane was also very clean and well maintained (as best I could tell). They have earned a loyal customer for the foreseeable future. I will be flying again for Christmas and actually look forward to the trip. Keep you posted if the facts change, but for now, I give them my highest rating and a true thumbs up!

For my most recent air travel, the Allegiant app was a complete failure! Received no communication from Allegiant when my departure time was changed weeks before the flight. Only discovered this when re-confirming my itinerary. After accepting the new departure time, Allegiant app did not notify me that check in window was open. Nor was the app even capable of allowing me to check in during the 24hr window. Allegiant rep said my wife and I would have to wait in line and check in personally the day of flight. So disgusted with allegiant. Fliers beware of useless allegiant app.

Worst experience ever! No one at the check in desk! Called customer service, wait 40 minutes before I was able to speak to anyone. Once I shared what was going on, was totally dismissed. I cannot in good faith recommend this airline, rude, not trustworthy, and do not care about customer service. Total sham!

Allegiant has to be the worst airline on the planet. We are frequent flyers on other airlines, and this was our first and last experience with Allegiant. First, the website is complicated (I manage websites, so I know) and confusing. After I finally managed to book, I couldn't print a ticket. After trying 3 AI assistants, all of which said they could verify our reservation, they told me to just check in day-of at the airport. Meanwhile, we had an emergency the day before and couldn't access the reservation for options.
Finally got a 'live' person on the day of departure and was told there was no refund (which I expected, and that's fine) and no voucher to rebook and pay a ticketing difference for the return flight. I can't even cancel the return flight coming up in 4 days, so they will be flying without filling our seats. How is this a good business plan for them to not fill an empty seat? I suspect they will be out of business soon. I hear nothing but bad reviews from people who have flown. Next time I want to see my family in NC, I will make the 10-hour drive - that's less than the time I've spent dealing with Allegiant and never set foot on their plane!

I have traveled Allegiant quite frequently and they used to be great. They are cheap and they do eventually get you where you need to go. HOWEVER, 3 out of the last 5 flights our family have taken have been delayed due to "mechanical issues". 2 times they were a full 2 hours delayed coming out of Phoenix Mesa, and 1 time 45 mins delayed coming out of Ft Lauderdale. Our family has had enough. We will not fly with them again. Done. Finished. That's all Allegiant. Get your freakin' act together!

Allegiant failed to reasonably accommodate a disabled senior citizen. Despite being aware of the passenger's disability and need for assistance, appropriate accommodations were not provided. This created an unnecessary hardship and compromised the passenger's ability to travel safely and with dignity. If the pilot didn't come out of the cockpit as we had to land in another state cause of weather, things could have been much worse for my mother. The flight attendant, Mark seen she was struggling and did not accommodate to move her in priority seating which we paid for when booking our flights, no one was sitting in the first row that actually supposed to been assigned to us.
Also another passenger was being hostile to my mother and also me before the flight and Mark the flight attendant, did not address this issue, and when we finally made it to our destination, the hostile passenger caused conflict with me as I was waiting on my luggage. The picture is the passenger who disrespected me but was hostile to my elderly mother, who is disabled.

Love this airline and the airplane. I am terrified to fly. I flew Orlando to Wisconsin. The flight was excellent. There was a delay for the trip to WI because one of the tires on the plane needed to be changed. I love, love, love, they cared about safety. The service was good. The attendants were friendly. The Airbus plane was spacious with extra wide aisle space and comfortable seats. The flight was pretty smooth thanks to well trained pilots.

It’s cheap company yes but we had an issue with them and they never answer. Never call back even when we call. They put us on hold for 45 minutes and never came back. I don’t know how they’re gonna grow just being cheap.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience flying with Allegiant. We originally flew from Las Vegas to Fresno with our small Maltipoo without any issues. Before our trip, I even called customer service specifically to ask about traveling with him. I provided my dog’s breed and asked exactly what was required to bring him as a pet in the cabin. The representative only told me the carrier dimensions and never mentioned that my dog had to be able to fully stand up and turn around inside the carrier.
Based on the information I was given, I purchased an airline-approved carrier, paid the pet fee, and we successfully completed our outbound flight. However, when it was time to return home, we were suddenly told our dog could not fly because he could not fully stand up inside the carrier. This was shocking because we had already flown to our destination on Allegiant with the exact same dog and the exact same carrier.
As a result, we missed our flight, lost the money we spent on our vacation rental, and had to completely rearrange our travel plans. This entire situation could have been avoided if the customer service representative had provided complete and accurate information when I specifically called to ask what was required, or if Allegiant had enforced its policy consistently from the beginning.
I understand that airlines have policies in place for the safety and comfort of animals, and I respect those policies. My frustration is that Allegiant’s own customer service failed to communicate a critical requirement, and the policy was applied inconsistently between our departing and return flights. Travelers should be able to rely on the information provided by airline representatives and expect the same standards to be applied throughout their trip.
I hope Allegiant improves its customer service training and ensures its policies are communicated clearly and enforced consistently so other families don’t have to go through the same stressful and costly experience we did. Also the two employees at the Fresno airport for Allegiant (Samantha & Alyssa) were absolutely rude and unprofessional, smirking and showing NO type of sympathy for my family and I. We had 4 kids with us and our dog.

My husband left Kindle on plane. Allegiant called (that was good) and said to pick it up. Allegiant said they would be at ticket counter from 8-12. I went to Pgd. Waited in line. Allegiant employee refused to go grab Kindle until line was completely gone. Seriously? It would have taken 2 minutes. I waited over hour before they would wait on me. Employee on phone should have told me what time to come. Would have saved us all time & trouble. 👿

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience flying with Allegiant Airlines. Both my departing and return flights were delayed by more than two hours, turning what should have been a straightforward trip into a stressful and frustrating experience. Delays can happen, but what made this experience unacceptable was the lack of customer service and communication.
Throughout the delays, there was little meaningful information provided to passengers about what was happening or when we could realistically expect to board. Instead of seeing employees actively assisting customers, many appeared to be more interested in using their phones than addressing passenger concerns or providing updates.
As a paying customer, I expect professionalism, communication, and a genuine effort to help travelers during unavoidable disruptions. Unfortunately, my experience reflected none of those qualities. This round-trip experience has left me questioning whether I will choose Allegiant Airlines again. I hope Allegiant takes customer service more seriously and provides additional training to ensure employees remain attentive to passengers rather than distracted by personal devices during work hours.

Worst airline ever! Delayed 8 hours July 9. We were told because the Grand Rapids crew “didn’t show up” credits given to customers on both sides of me but not me! They promised they would email a refund and did not! No customer service at all! Very shady! They took my money for Priority boarding weeks before my trip on way back but I had to stand near end of very long line as they decided to “all board” I have pictures of the line! You will never get a customer service agent on the phone only bots that have no idea. The guy that was flight attendant kept complaining that he was too tired and sat on a trash can angry because people were bringing trash upfront to him and he said “two feet more and there’s the trash!” This airline was absolutely appalling both there and back! Waste of time and no value!

Agent at counter in Cincinnati/Kentucky was extremely rude. We were in line 2-1/2 hours before boarding. There was no sign indicating when the counter would open.

Allegiant worker said he was the gate manager, believe his name was Connor. He denied any type of info on his name. His coworker was allowing us to board going through the process, then Connor, the manager, screamed and yelled down the hall before anybody could see him. My family was denied boarding involuntarily but the family in front of us in a similar situation was allowed to board.

Constantly delays and the people that run things on and off the airplane give excuses constantly. Nothing gets fixed except more poor service and a blow off to actual customers. We are their bread and butter and they take it for granted. It will not be good for them period no matter what even if they bought Sun Country Airlines. It won’t help them.

The only reason I'm giving this airline a 2 star review is because they actually made it to the destination and back. The Knoxville to Philadelphia flight hit the ground so hard during the landing in Philly that it seemed like the wheels were gonna come off. Some airhead flight attendant opened the bathroom door when some woman was sitting on a toilet, giving us all a show. Not a big deal, right? You decide. On the flight back to Knoxville we were supposed to squeeze three people in a row, instead of using plenty of empty seats all around the plane. But we're not done yet! And they raised an exceptional stink about anyone sitting in exit rows like that is so unusual. They did make it abundantly clear to us lowly passengers that those exit row seats with 2 extra inches of legroom cost $30 more, and since no one paid for them, come hell or high water they shall remain empty.
As if the insane Philly landing was not bad enough, the plane hits so freaking hard upon landing back in Knoxville and then slammed on the brakes so hard, it seemed like we were all gonna go through the windshield. It looked like they missed a chunk of the runway and then had to slam on the brakes to make up for it, so they don't drive into the damn grass. I don't know what kind of schmucks they allow to fly these planes, but if I were anywhere in upper management of this company I would definitely have a very close look at what the hell is going on with the Knoxville-Philly crew. Very close.

I had a brand new luggage bag that was checked and was completely destroyed somewhere in the process. Picked it up in baggage claim with straps holding it together. The metal frame must have got caught on something because this could not have been done by human hands. Regardless, the claim has been in limbo for 2 months. Contacting customer service resulting in just more of the same response, which is it's still being processed. Their policy states up to six weeks and I am well past. Trying just to connect with a person is horrible in itself. Multiple times got on the callback list. They call, let it ring once, then hang up. Then start the whole process over.

I understand that I purchased tickets to fly on a budget airline but between the non-functioning app, ridiculously packed seating, unannounced and unexplained flight delays and incredible rude desk agents I have to say that Allegiant has somehow fallen below the already low threshold of basic customer service expected by paying passengers.

We found out my wife's grandmother was on her death bed in Florida and we purchased a plane ticket from Allegiant on a Friday night to take off from Syracuse the following morning. We purchased the insurance in case we needed to cancel the flight. We found out my wife's grandmother passed away late Friday night. We called the number Allegiant gave us for the flight insurance. We could not speak to an actual person and the voice recording said we needed to provide a death certificate. After her body was brought back to NY from Florida and we had the services we were able to obtain a copy of the death certificate. We submitted needed docs and were denied because they did not receive the paperwork before the flight. Spend the extra $50 and stay away from this horrible, pathetic excuse for an airline!

Today was so sad especially coming from who you depend for all your plans. I'm so disappointed it was my 1st time flying w my mom and bf and when we arrived from the minute we arrived we received attitude. Starting with I tried telling you but you have an attitude. Instead to proceed to charge me person was confused kept asking for phone tickets with a horrible accent, when he has the prints right in front of him. He didn't charge us the bags let us get passed security and while we approach gate a girl tells us again we need to pay for the carry on. I had my purse and a small luggage. When we approach the exact same guy who greeted us at front and was rude was back there too and rude to us again. And he tells the girl, "No let them go to Dora," like Dora had a malicious plan. He had a bad accent that was not clear, bad baggage communication.
Dora was to check us in plane and tells us again you need to pay for luggage. I never understood why first guy kept not charging us and let us go thru. The lady Dora said, "I was told from the moment you walked in you had attitude." My mom said, "How did you know?" She yelled at my mom and said, "You're not traveling. Step aside." I was so anguished and freaked out I didn't know what to do. She told me, "Your bf and your mom are not traveling, you can if you want." After my bf was already cleared and in the plane sitting after supposedly he gave them attitude... She goes to the plane to remove him and told him I said he was going to act bad like we are in preschool. She tore my dreams and plans, made me spend a lot of money and to top it off after I left I called to see if I could get a refund, was told I had attitude and they couldn't refund me. Apparently the worker left a nasty comment on top of how we got treated me.
I'm very sad and disappointed in humans. Don't bother with the airline if you can go somewhere else. They lost a client. My bf said, "Fine if you can't refund at least issue me a voucher to use another time." And they said no. A big fat no. Wow. I'm literally crying. The photo was before that nasty interaction w the airline. After they charge a pretty penny is not like it was free. Of it was Dora's money and his minion with a bad accent.

I had a very disappointing experience flying with Allegiant, especially as a parent traveling with two kids. The flight attendant we dealt with was rude and unhelpful, which made the whole situation more stressful than it needed to be. Traveling with children is already difficult, and a little patience or basic courtesy would have made a big difference.
What frustrated me the most was paying extra for a carry-on bag, only to feel like there was no real benefit to doing so. If customers are paying for carry-ons, there should be a fair and organized process that actually prioritizes those bags over non-paid items. Otherwise, it just feels like another fee with no value behind it. Overall, this was an inconvenient and disappointing experience for our family. I expected a basic level of customer service and organization, and Allegiant did not deliver.
