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.

The last 4 flights I have taken with Allegiant have all been delayed for hours. Right now, I’m on the plane, 5 hrs behind schedule. An old lady flight attendant with a really bad attitude. This airline used to be good, but it keeps getting worse by the minute.

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.

First of all my plane has been delayed about two hours at this point and secondly they have a sitting locked on the runway with the engines off. It’s about 100° in here, no water, no air-conditioning.

Booked flights and wanted to make a change 1 month before flight. They charged me 94 dollars to make a change even though the agent said they would give me a full credit. All I asked for was credit to use at a later time. they also only gave me 6 months to use the voucher. It's a money grab, didn't cost them any money to make a change and I wasnt asking for money back. I will fly another airline in the future.

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. Though I suppose I should thank them for teaching me a valuable lesson in choosing airlines.

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.

Terrible. Was upcharged $400 in bag fees because they messed up what I selected on my ticket order, and all they could do was give me a $150 travel voucher to upcharge me on the next flight.

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!

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!

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.
