We have been a long time card holder member and love Allegiant Air. Anytime there is an issue whether it’s cancelling or changing a flight they are amazing. Their personalized care in customer service for Allegiant cardholders members such as us are rare in today’s flight industry. If you fly Allegiant get the card become a member. You will not be disappointed!

We paid for the bundle to get assigned seats. We had those seats when we checked in online for boarding. The Allegiant staff did not ask us to move seats. They made us. When I told them we paid for certain seats, the flight attendant rudely said "enough is enough" and made us move. They are refusing to refund me the amount we paid for the bundle to get assigned seats. Our family was split up.

I must say the best experience I’ve had and please show this review to the employees! I flew out of Allentown pa to Sarasota, Florida and from the people at the counter to the sky caps, the plane people, and the baggage people, best flight to and from. Your employees are wonderful, the plane ride excellent and you people did an excellent job! Loved my trip and your airline much better than Delta, JetBlue, or United.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

Until this point, I have been quite satisfied with using Allegiant. I fly enough to make having their credit card worth it. But two days ago I received an offer by email to take $35 off a booking over $100. They sent the email 3 times in the same day. When I tried to use the code, it wouldn't work. I contacted customer service and they apologized the email was sent in error. They would not honor the code or give an alternate code. Poor choice for customer relations. They could have sent another email explaining the error (they already sent 3) and offered a new code. Instead, they just frustrated anyone who took the time to contact them.

I have been a loyal Allegiant customer since 2020 flying with your airline for five years. During this time, my dog—a 20-pound Shih Tzu—has flown with me on at least 20 Allegiant flights without a single issue. On this most recent trip, however, I was stopped at the counter and prevented from boarding as usual. My dog was in the same Allegiant-approved travel tote bag he has always used. I even removed the tag from our last flight in front of the agents so they could see it was the same carrier. They watched him step inside the bag and turn around, which he always does before lying down for travel.
I was then informed he could not fly because he “could not stand up” inside the carrier. As a reminder, this is a small 20-pound Shih Tzu, not a large dog being forced into an undersized bag. My dog’s trained behavior is to lie down when he gets into the carrier—he naturally settles for travel, and therefore does not stand on command once he is in “flight mode.” He voluntarily enters the carrier and has never posed an issue or safety risk. This sudden refusal to allow him to board not only contradicts my extensive history of flying with Allegiant under identical conditions. The way I was spoken to by Jena and the way I was effectively detained at the counter was unprofessional and extremely disappointing.
She even put inaccurate notes in my file. When I called and spoke with Rodrigo who was amazing she indicated false information in the file. In fact she said she had made a one time accommodation but I walked away. I asked Rodrigo if that were true then why is my husband standing outside waiting for our daughter to come and pick up the dog and why am I on the phone with you. Such Bs to lie. Just be honest and say you wanted to ruin someone’s trip. AWFUL!

Do not fly with Allegiant if your child has a developmental disability. They are not accommodating at all. Their customer service is incredibly poor, and their staff lack compassion and professionalism. Every single thing is an extra fee your seat, your carry-on and by the time you’re done, you’ve easily paid an extra $200 or more. When I tried to get help for my 2-year-old son, who has a developmental delay, I was told he could not sit in my lap, even after explaining his condition. No one offered any assistance or options; all I got was “policy.” It was cold, dismissive, and frustrating.
To make matters worse, when I asked a staff member why I wasn’t charged for my carry-on on the flight to Florida but was being charged going back to Charlotte, she replied, “You should feel lucky.” That kind of sarcasm is unacceptable from anyone in customer service. Whoever trained this staff should be retrained immediately, because this level of indifference toward families and people with disabilities is unacceptable. Allegiant clearly needs to do better.

We were delayed over 4 hours leaving Arizona & then we landed in Sioux Falls South Dakota & they made us wait on the plane for 30 more minutes because another flight was at our gate and they said it was because it was on time. I would never fly Allegiant again.

That is probably heavy in the stars! We thought we would take a quick inexpensive trip from Grand Rapids to Nashville to visit friends. But flight was delayed forty-five minutes on the way down and so far over one hour fifteen minutes back home. We haven't left yet so God only knows how late we will get home, if we do get home tonight. So, what do you do to pass all that extra time sitting in an airport? Drink, so now this trip is costing three times as much as it should have! I had heard these horror stories of allegiant but first time experienced. May have to start looking at other airlines! Not so efficient anymore if this is the new norm!

The airport that I left from left my baggage sitting at my origination location from almost 24 hours before sending to my destination location. It has been over 60 days trying to get refund for all the clothes and products that I had to purchase as I was stuck in Florida with no baggage. Offer no tracking explanation or apologies for this type of error on their side. Would not recommend using this airline ever again.

Credit card company customer service is terrible. I called and the hold time kept increasing. Then they just hang up. I wanted to report my card lost or stolen. I called at 7:45 pm and they said the wait time was 30 minutes. I waited for 30 minutes and then the automated system hung up on me after an hour. I called back. The wait time was 30 minutes but then increased to 45 minutes. And I waited hours. Nobody ever picked up my call. I tried chatting but it was useless because it kept telling me to call. I am going to cancel this card. They never answer and just put you off to wait on hold indefinitely.

Be very aware of using any type of vouchers, as this company does not honor, or clearly communicate the use of the voucher. The customer service person was uncooperative, and had very poor communication skills. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, he would not transfer me, indicating this was his decision to not honor the voucher. The language on the voucher is misleading and subject to varied interpretations. The manner, in which customer service person handled this issue was rude and dismissive. The concern was managed very unprofessionally. I wouldn’t recommend this airline given the lack of customer service.

Let’s start this review with the allegiant app! After flying Allegiant for a year, how would I describe the Allegiant app? Glitchy, inefficient, frustrating and a complete waste of time! Whoever engineered this app, and also whoever maintains it, clearly does not care about me as a customer. Sometimes, when I signed into the app, it would ask me AGAIN for my log in and password info. to sign in, even though I had just put that information in — this happens a lot, and the result is that a lot of times I can’t even sign into the allegiant app (sometimes it also routes me to the allegiant website, even though I wasn’t trying to go to the website, since I just wanted to sign into the app to get my QR code for my boarding pass).
Anyway, when the app lets me sign in, it happens a lot that when I click on the “Manage my Trips” button, instead of showing me my trips, it tells me that the site I’m trying to reach is down. Sometimes, I have waited a whole day, and trying at different times within 24 hours before my allegiant flight takes off, and guess what! The allegiant app DOESN’T work, but it was VERY GOOD at wasting my time!
Now, let’s talk about how they have stolen from me! On the allegiant website, when booking my flights, there is a point where allegiant gives me an option to “select my seat” for the flight for an UPCHARGE, which is usually around $18 (the exact upcharge depends on the seat I select) per trip (one way). Well, for about a year now (and I fly Allegiant - round trip - at least twice a month since I signed up for the allegiant credit card like a year ago, and I wanted to get points through the allegiant credit card — not worth it in my opinion, I’m coming to realize!). Anyway, for about a year, I have paid the UPCHARGE of selecting my seat, and I ALWAYS selected the same seat, the one in the last row in the back of the plane, where it tends to be less noisy, my preference. For a year, I have been pestered and relocated by the flight attendants and kicked out of my seat in the last row!
What is the point of me selecting my seat if the flight attendants are just going to kick me off the seat I SELECTED and paid an UPCHARGE for? Makes no sense to me! Their reason for kicking me off my seat in the last row of the plane is always the same. The flight attendants say that the last row is RESERVED for the people who come to the back of the plane to wait for their turn to use the plane restroom. Then again, I have kept my eye like a hawk on this situation over several months and customers NEVER sit down in the seats of the last row of the plane (the passengers, instead, wait standing around the restroom). The REAL reason why the flight attendants kick me off the seat I LITERALLY paid an upcharge for is because the flight attendants’ assigned seats are very flat, firm, and look like they are made of hard plastic (not comfortable).
So, what happens is that about halfway into the flight, the lights on the inside of the plane are dimmed really low, and this is when the flight attendants switch from their hard-plastic assigned seats to the “passenger” seats in the last row! In summary, the flight attendants are disregarding the upcharge I paid for my seat selection, and they have been relocating me to whichever seat they decided in the moment was going to be my seat on the plane, and the flight attendants then use the last row of “passenger” seats for themselves! So unprofessional! I literally have the whole thing on video and will be sharing it on social media to share my experience, because I am outraged that allegiant does NOT care about PAYING CUSTOMERS like me!
I even have their rewards credit card, but they don’t care — don’t care about me, nor respect me, and have CLEARLY stolen from me! Are they going to refund me for having moved me to a random seat of their choice, even though I paid for the seat selection upcharge? No! They are excellent at taking my money, but they don’t admit when they are wrong, and have never apologized to me for all the inconveniences they have put me through. I’m leaving Allegiant behind FOR GOOD, and I recommend for your sanity, that if you have an ounce of self-respect, that you will not volunteer your hard-earned money to a company that I can clearly attest has stolen from me unashamedly and unapologetically!
Allegiant disgusts me! Also, why is Allegiant letting me select a seat that is situated in the last row of the plane if the flight attendants are always saying that the seats in the last row of the plane are RESERVED for the people who go to the back to wait for the restroom to become available? If the seats in the back of the plane are unavailable, I should not be allowed by the airline ticket system to select the seat in the last row of the plane when booking my flight! If this is the case, those seats should be crossed-out or greyed-out, or be made unelectable. Instead, I was allowed to select the last-row seat to book my flight for like a year only to encounter the inconvenience to be relocated against my choice time and again!
Even when I said clearly to the flight attendant that I was already fully settled down in my selected seat (the one I PAID FOR!) and did not want to move, I was told that I HAD to move to another seat of their choice, because they NEEDED the last row of the plane to be empty. Also, it is very unprofessional to see flight attendants sitting in the last row with the rest of us passengers while eating snacks and talking loudly about their relatives’ problems and their personal opinions. Allegiant is SO unprofessional and inconvenient! As someone who has been robbed by Allegiant, I can confidently say they don’t care about me as a person, even though I am a paying customer!
As for the Allegiant credit card, one of the benefits of having this allegiant credit card is SUPPOSEDLY that I get “priority boarding,” but the allegiant representative at the gate is usually lazy; and even though only “priority” and “specific” areas are called to be boarded at the beginning of the onboarding process, the allegiant agent at the gate just lets EVERYBODY board right away, not checking to see whether customers hold the allegiant credit card in their hands (to show the allegiant credit card — supposedly a requirement but not really because they don’t check this) or anything.
I cannot recount how many times I was in line behind people who out-loud said they did not have the allegiant credit card, and were NOT part of the “zone” being called to board, but they said it “doesn’t matter,” and sure enough, they are allowed to go through the gate during the “priority boarding” call! So, “priority boarding” ACTUALLY means nothing, because the allegiant agents at the gate are not actually supervising who “qualifies” and who doesn’t “qualify” for priority boarding, because they just let EVERYBODY through! Essentially, allegiant workers are terrible workers! So, I’m canceling my allegiant credit card! This whole allegiant thing was a complete waste of my time!

I have flown on this miserable airline more times than I would like to admit. Never leave on time, they lie about why they are delayed. One flight was cancelled and I was never given a reason. They refused to refund my money so I disputed the charge on my credit card. I received my refund a month later because I won the dispute. I could go on but life’s too short. 😊

Arrived 2 hours ahead with pets at the Rockford airport. Waited 35 minutes to check in because of limited staff. Would not allow us on plane because our carrier was 1" too high. Same carrier we traveled with two months earlier. Why would I ever question the size. Asked for a supervisor. No one from Allegiant ever came by. We kept asking the agent and she said they were on break or busy. Waited for at least 1 hr. By then our flight had left.
Had they addressed our concerns we could have had someone come get our pets so we could continue on our vacation to Florida. Sadly no one cared. An email or phone call to passengers with pets stating their recent strict rule change would be good customer service. One other customer was turned away on the same flight as us that was on a return leg after traveling to Chicago with the same carrier two weeks ago! Also, We saw someone check in with a pet at the priority line and that agent never checked the bag size and was allowed to travel. Allegiant you can do better!

On Monday morning Aug 11 2025, return trip to Knoxville TN. (TYS) from Tampa (PIE) ,I received a message that our 8:33 pm return flight was going to be delayed, #3020. I tracked plane online. Showed plane was leaving Chicago and was 1 hour 37 minutes late headed to Knoxville. Was supposed to arrive at knoxville,then to st pete at 8:33 pm, but early morning message said it was going to be leaving Knoxville at 7:14 pm and arriving at pie by 8:42 pm.
But message said need to arrive at airport 2 hours before the original arrival, so checked out of motel and turned in rental car at 6pm. All the Bulls**t with TSA as usual. Finally got to our gate 4, Allegiant agents assured us plane landed in Knoxville 1 he and 41 minutes late, but would be in Tampa by 10:15 pm and we would arrive in Knoxville after midnight.
Then all of a sudden, 5 minutes later agent came on speaker, saying pilot was sick and new pilot refused to come in. Said flight delayed until 11:55 am on 8/12/25, I ask for money back, going to rent a car and drive home, agent said flight wasn't cancelled, just delayed. They lied through their teeth, how did they know at 10 am in the morning that pilot was going to be sick, and if so, they had 12 hours to get a new pilot. So here we sat at the airport, no car, no motel and they offered to give us a $200 voucher to cover motels, car rental, and meals. I lost over $150 on Allegiant supposedly cheap flights. My motel alone was more than $189 plus tax. Don't fly this bunch of crooks, you might think you are saving money, but their shi**y attitudes suck.

App is worthless. Never showed our flight changed from 10:30am to 9:00am. Unable to check in from the app. Customer service was very unhelpful and wanted to charge us another $500.00 to fly out the next day. This was more than double the round trip fair we purchased. Unable to speak with a manager, she was by herself, even though she kept putting us on hold to see if she was able to get us a deal. Hmm. Never did. We ended up making the 14 hour trip by car. Not a nice ending to our vacation. Daughter in law also called, she got hung up on. I think they change flight times and disable apps to get more money. Very cheap flights, polite staff but very poor customer service. App is totally worthless.

I fly Allegiant a lot. Overall it's a cheap flight. I travel light and like the front of the plane. They load the front last. When I board the storage is gone. Even though I have a small bag it has to be checked as they let people from the seats farther back fill up the front storage. They need to get a better process. I pack light to in and out of the airport quickly and they delay me waiting for a small bag. Makes me not want to fly with them.
