    We traveled Allegiant Airlines at the end of June 2024. On the way down to Myrtle Beach, a suitcase was lost (containing all my clothes for the trip, as well as a few other things). Unfortunately, it never turned up. We had filed a complaint and were told it would be handled promptly. Unfortunately, I had to call the baggage department several times for updates and they NEVER proactively kept us informed, even after many requests. Each time I would call, I was on hold for a minimum 45 minutes to an hour, and not a single representative showed empathy or seemed to care. We sent everything they asked for, I called twice to verify they had received and was advised everything was received and our claim would be handled asap.

    After not hearing for several days, I called them again and was advised they needed one of the forms I had already confirmed TWICE they had received. (We also had to show proof it had been sent within the dates required, even though, again they had previously confirmed receipt. AND, I had NOT received a request for this information to be re-sent, even after contacting them several times before it was due!) Finally, at EXACTLY 60 days after the loss, they had not yet completed the claim, but did it while I was on the phone. This was the absolute worst experience, and I would recommend avoiding this airline NO MATTER how convenient or money saving the deal may seem!

    Very Disappointed in dishonest treatment and service. Bought three seats each with a checked bag. Gate agent was nasty. Would not allow our third bag checked even though we paid for it because we chose to keep center seat empty. We were charged $75 for a second bag on y seat. Gate agent said get a refund jokelike. I've tried 3 times to get a refund. No one to call! You send request in on internet, not even email This primitive airline is creepy.

    The customer service at Check-In at TYS, particularly their manager 'Shannon,' is extremely rude. They damaged my luggage and refused to take responsibility. I was made to wait for over 30 minutes, and due to their arrogance, my flight was nearly delayed. I will never fly with Allegiant again. The manager refused to provide her full name, only saying her first name sounds like Shannon.

    I arrived for my flight a few minutes late due to heavy construction traffic. I arrived made it through check-in and TSA and boarding ended at 5:45 AM and my flight was 6 AM. I literally got to the gate at 5:47 AM and pleaded with, the lady working the desk to ask her supervisor if I could please get on the flight. My son was back from Afghanistan and we were going to meet in Daytona before he went back to his base. The lady wouldn’t even respond to me, kept her face down. Never making eye contact. Even if she couldn’t do anything, she showed no concern for what I was going through and refused to even contact her supervisor on the radio. I tried to book another flight and was told it would cost me three times the amount of what I had initially paid on top of losing Money I spent on the ticket for the flight. This woman showed no empathy and certainly had no concern about me not seeing my son in two years.

    I did speak with someone after being on hold for 2 1/2 hours so now I won’t get to see my son until November. I’m certainly not blaming Allegiant for the time issue or delay, it was the fact that the front check in employee showed no regard, concern. In spite of the fact, I told her I was meeting my son who is deployed, I was treated very rude.

    This airline has been the worst experience not only with my travel but the call center has you waiting for almost an or or longer to speak with someone. So unprofessional. They hang up and sent me an automated survey. She asked me how I was doing and I explained to her could be better. I said, I waited almost an hour to speak with someone, she goes to say, that’s normal. I said that’s not normal and it’s not good business. Next thing I hear is a survey. I get hung up on for being honest with her question. I was professional and didn’t use no profanity and no tone in my voice. Calls are monitored for proof. They continue to cancel flights offer you credit that doesn’t apply when booking a future flight. After I use this credit, I’m not longer using this airline. It’s because you cannot get assistance through the call center in a timely manner and the unprofessional agent who hung up on me.

    My experience with Allegiant was HORRIBLE. They left my bag at my departing airport IAD and I received no explanation or notification the whole weekend of my trip AS TO WHY OR HOW my luggage was held at the departing airport. I had a lot of valuable items and gifts that I needed during my trip. And when I landed at my destination the baggage manager just brushed me off saying this was not their issue and that “they are just a face” and “this is a low budget airline”.

    This is completely unacceptable. I do not care how “low budget” an airline is. If you have the nerve to charge me for my bag to be checked and the smallest services I expect it to get to my destination. In addition, how is there no one available AT ALL during the weekends when you have flights and passengers actively traveling? The communication during my trip was PISS POOR. I will be filing a claim for reimbursement for all the items I had to PURCHASE due to not having my luggage at my destination. This was a COSTLY error in the amount of thousands of dollars for me. I will not be traveling with Allegiant ever again.

    I Traveled with my dog on Flight 792 8/1/2024 to LAX From Memphis TN and while waiting for takeoff one of the flight attendants told me to put the dog and carrier underneath the seat in front. I said ok and told my daughter who was sitting in the row directly in front of me that she (flight attendant) was the first person to say something about the dog. She (attendant) stops and turns with a rude manner and ask me what I said. My reply was, "Ma’am I was speaking to my daughter," and she again comes back with a rude and confrontational attitude and said, "Yea cause I thought you said something." At this point another passenger who clearly saw that this attendant was being mean said to the flight attendant, "Ma’am you're being rude and confrontational." I then politely said, "Ma’am please leave me alone, I did what you asked." She throws her hands up and says, "Oouuuu you people," and proceeded to walk to the front of the cabin.

    Moments later the young lady from check in approached me and said, "Ma’am I don’t know what her problem is you have been so polite but can you please not say anything to her because she wants and tried to have you removed." My mind was blown. I told the young lady I would not be a problem. I turn and looked behind me, there stood the flight attendant. As soon as I made eye contact with her she yelled for the young lady to come back and told her I had just looked at her funny. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. Again the young lady said, "Ma’am I’m sorry I don’t know what’s wrong with her or where her attitude is coming from but please ignore her and enjoy your flight."

    I asked the young lady for the flight attendant's name, she asked the attendant and she refused to give it. My flight was 792 on August 1, 2024 at 9:15 pm. My entire flight staff kept walking by to assure that I had the dog and carrier properly stored. I felt as if I was singled out and as if she wanted to provoke me so that I would be thrown off the plane. This type of entitlement and customer service is very inappropriate and has caused me to no longer support Allegiant.

    Oh let me not to forget to mention on this one flight I purchased 8 tickets to be treated with such aggressiveness by an entitled attendant that if it were not for the passengers the airline wouldn’t be in business. Sad what customer service has come to in the United States. And ironically when we landed at the airport I got lost trying to find baggage claim and by the time I reached the area to pick up my luggage it wasn’t there. This has been the worse experience EVER!!!! I am currently awaiting a response from Allegiant.

    Luggage damaged in transit. Allegiant refused the claim because it was not reported within 4 hours which customer service says is a "strict" policy. As you can see from their policy "a claim MAY be denied" which is not a STRICT policy. I have had many other issues with allegiant flights delayed, not on time, cancellation, etc and this is the last straw with them. DO NOT FLY allegiant. They do not care about customers.

    I have flown on Allegiant Air for many years and I have always provided a good review. But now that I am older. My only complaint is the passenger seats. The main problem is that they are very hard and it hurts older customers buts. I found on Amazon site an inflatable seat cushion and I ordered it. What surprises me is that Allegiant doesn’t sell to its card holders a reasonable inflatable seat cushion for flights, especially flights that are 3 hrs or more. I hope that I receive an answer.

    I would rather not EVER go on ANOTHER vacation if I have to take a trip by Allegiant. A rep accidentally canceled my reservation and gave me a voucher and it has been down-hill ever since. They claim they can’t reverse the payment. My flight was canceled (yep, just canceled due to power outage) and instead of getting a refund I get another voucher (because of the mistake on the agent). I have never been more frustrated (no pissed) in my life. I probably lost out on that money because I would rather not fly Allegiant. I’m telling you pay the extra money and fly another airline. This one should be out of business.

    Took a flight from Chicago to Las Vegas round trip. Upon return to home from airport, noticed wife's luggage lock cut off and replaced with old brass lock. Allegiant refuses to take responsibility for it, blaming the TSA. TSA was contacted and they say if they had opened luggage they leave a Notice Of Inspection note in bag. Luggage damage is the responsibility of the airlines. They said they could not find the complaint I filed. I emailed the form to them to prove I did. They are shirking their own policy.

    Family of four traveling to FL to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday last Sunday. Our early morning flight got canceled at 3am. No reason why?? On hold with customer service for 2.5 hours with customer service. There was no other flight out from that airport (ABE) until Thurs (4 days later). They will not help you book a flight on another airline. I also had to cancel my rental car because it was part of the bundle purchased through them. I booked a flight through another airline and a new rental car. Cost of rebooking a flight and car minus what Allegiant refunded us was $1K more. It gets better....Unfortunately we kept our return flight on Allegiant. There was a 6 hour delay. Not to mention I had to have someone drive me to the other airport in Trenton to retrieve my car. I left my condo on FL at 8am and got back to my house at 10pm. People had small children. Total nightmare.

    It's fine if you expect no frills, long lines, horrible customer service and are on guard for getting nickel and dimed for every little thing. In fact if you are checking luggage you may be better off going with a major airline. The biggest issue with Allegiant is if your flight gets cancelled you'll likely not be booked on another flight for 3-7 days. Recently happened to us after waiting hours in line to get our bags checked. When we asked what the process was to rebook a flight, if we should stay at the airport and then the agent told us to get out of line and she wasn't a magician with answers. 10 seconds, one question, then given the boot.

    No apology, no sharing of information, just get out of here and we may refund your money. I'm almost a million mile traveler on Delta and after all those flights I've never had an experience like I had with Allegiant. With Allegiant you may save a few dollars but be prepared for the worse, and be prepared to be stranded with no help.

    Highly discriminating Airhostess Paula. She was yelling at me as I boarded the flight and was rude. I asked Paula may I know if she has any issues with me.

    Paula came right on to my face while bending her knees and told me with her finger pointing insanely close to my face and said, "Yes, I have issue because you are selfish for keeping your personal items in overhead bins and not at your feet" and asked me, "Have you paid for it?" I told her yes, I purchased my flight ticket just like everyone else. I am the last passenger to board the flight. The doors are shut and overhead bin has a lot of space left.

    I asked her how am I being selfish and why are you being rude. PAULA said, "because you are a toddler who do not understand at once and I am being a mother to make you understand what I am saying by speaking like this." She approached my seat to close the overhead bin, she picked up the bag from passenger right behind my seat and said to her, while picking up her bag from her feet, "let me do (keep it in the overhead bin) it for you." I was stern at this and this made me feel discriminated. I told her I have food in my shopper and I feel disrespected towards my food keeping it by my feet. She yelled, "Okay then. Food is not allowed in the overhead bins. That's the policy."

    I looked around all passengers in front of me had in TRANSPARENT BAGS not only food items, snacks but also big water bottles in the overhead bins. I was made highly uncomfortable, embarrassed in front of all passengers, Paula not only embarrassed me but also harassed me by leaning over and pointing her finger on my face in anger. Her yelling over me calling me selfish asking me if I have paid for it, calling me a toddler made my flight experience miserably horrific. She singled me out as all other passengers had their all personal items in the overhead bins (including water bottles and food items) giving them enough leg space for comfortable travel. She was extremely hateful towards me. I felt discriminated especially when she picked up the bag from feet of passenger behind me to put it in overhead bins.

They can't figure out the logistics of seat assignments for different planes? They can't make refunds automatic when they have to change seats for their customers. I paid for front row seats MONTHS in advance and they can't refund me without a 45 minute hold time when they took those seats away?

    Do not fly this airline. My experience with this airline and the routes I take is that they are regularly two hours delayed. A two hour delay is normal for this airline no matter the time of day or the time of year, and I have flown this airline where the delay has been four hours. The pilot, flight attendants, and gate agents all just shrug it off. Cost of a 75 minute, RT flight for two with one, shared overhead bag: $672. I can understand delays, the lack of service, and can even put up with some of the flight attendants who are extremely rude and coarse when getting a "good deal" but there is no value or benefit to flying Allegiant. I'm done with them. I'd rather drive the 8 hours on I-95 to get to my destination; it's cheaper, and I'll arrive before this airline touches ground at my destination airport.

    I have flown many airlines over the years, and have never found an online system/application more cumbersome and confusing with added fees each step in the booking process and not always clear policies in terms of what you are booking and policies tied to it for potential cancel or change in flights. I recently had an experience in which we had unforeseen circumstances come up that resulted in canceling the trip less than 24 hours before departure. The first attempt in reaching customer service for help resulted in their system being down. I was informed they were not able to help me, and they did not know when their system would be back up. I was instructed to call back, but they couldn’t give me an estimated timeframe to call back.

    Our home was several hours away from departure location, so we needed more prompt help. In calling back, I was informed they were unable to help me and that I would need to send an email to customer service. After completing that step, I was informed that they have policies and procedures in place that I should’ve been aware of at the time of booking, and they were not able to make any accommodations, even not a partial or full credit to fly allegiant in the future.

    At time of booking, I found the system confusing and cumbersome. Prices that were advertised quickly added up with additional fees. The receipt I received did not indicate anything in terms of the unrealistic cancellation policy tied into the tickets purchased. We are now out all of our money for the trip. If you are able to avoid Allegiant and fly other airlines, I would highly recommend to avoid the same headaches with a cumbersome system, not helpful customer service, and really unrealistic cancellation policies for this day in age of flying.

    My recent experience at Allegiant Airlines was extremely disappointing and disheartening. As a member of the military, I expect a certain level of respect and courtesy, but unfortunately, I received the opposite at the ticketing desk. The agent I encountered was not only rude but also seemed to treat me differently based on my race. While she greeted and provided excellent service to white passengers, she was dismissive and unpleasant towards me when I simply asked a question about the orange sticker for my bag. This inconsistency in treatment is unacceptable and left me feeling deeply disrespected. I strongly believe that this behavior warrants serious consequences, and I intend to file a formal complaint with Allegiant Airlines' customer service department.

    I was very excited about the flight to Jacksonville to meet my first grandchild who was born on Tuesday, April 16. I came early before the Allegiant counter reps came out. When I came up to the counter, probably to read the signs, A lady asked me if I was flying Allegiant, and where I was going. I told her that I was going to Jacksonville, and she said she was going there too. She said that she was from Afghanistan, and her English wasn't the best. She asked me if I would help her. I was happy to help since we were going to the same place, even though my plan was to hang out at the USO eating chips and drinking soda as I am a veteran's spouse. We both sat down until the counter reps came out and the line began to form. I checked in online before getting to the airport, so I checked my bag first. Then I stepped over to help the passenger from Afghanistan.

    While we were in line, I asked her if she had her boarding pass, and she only showed me her reservation, and I saw that she hadn't checked in yet. So, I tried to walk her through the steps to checkin online on her phone like I did. This took a while because I tried to explain step by step, and there were a lot of steps involved to check in. The check-in was interrupted when it was my turn at the counter. So we had to start over. The check-in was interrupted again when she got a phone call. So we had to start over again. It was very important for her to check in online to avoid the $75 charge for the 2nd bag she wanted to check. She preferred to pay the lower charge, $30, offered online.

    I tried explaining this to the Allegiant counter reps hoping that they would somehow make an exception, save her the trouble, and just let her pay the $30 at the counter... Instead of making an exception, they began questioning me and asking the passenger from Afghanistan about me. She told them several times that I was there to help. The counter reps were rude to me and overreaching. They reported me to security! The reps lied, reporting to security that I wouldn't allow her to talk to them. The passenger I helped spoke to the counter reps the whole time. I was just standing there to help and repeatedly trying to walk her through the check-in process on her phone.

    One of the reps tried to force me to render my boarding pass and ID unnecessarily. The passenger I helped explained several times that I was helping her. She apologized to me, the security officer who questioned me also apologized to me, however, the counter reps continued their weird behavior, taking pictures of me, and writing notes about me when I boarded the plane. It was unbelievable!

    I asked the passenger a couple of times if she still needed my help, and she said yes, so I stayed, since I said I would help. I was relieved when the counter reps finally checked her bags even though they did so by taking her phone and forcing her to download the app and on top of that also forced her to pay $5 for the boarding pass... I would think that she could access the boarding pass through the app. Anyways, I felt very uncomfortable and undervalued as a customer. I felt falsely accused of something I didn't do.

    First time with Allegiant Air and Last. Flight delayed over 6 hours due to not enough crew showed up to fly the plane. Whole first day of family vacation gone! All we got for it was a $50 credit towards another flight that expires in 1 year and a meal voucher that consisted of a half of a sandwich total value of $12. Called Allegiant Air customer service and after asking some questions about compensation, the rep did not like it and hung up on me. I was being polite, not rude or belligerent. Should have stayed with Delta! The price was too tempting. Usually it is expected you get what you pay for but in this case we didn't even get that with Allegiant Air.

    This is without a doubt the most rude and incompetent airline in existence. I have flown many different airlines across the years, including cheap airlines like Spirit, and Allegiant simply is not worth the money — no matter how cheap the flight, it is severely over-priced because this airline is garbage. On this occasion, I had to change my flight so I could leave a day earlier and I waited hours upon hours for someone to answer my call. Then this incompetent man, at some call center ex-US, disconnects me. I have to repeat the entire process, more hours spent waiting for someone to answer. I was on the phone all day, literally.

    So I finally get my flight changed and the incompetent man charges me to change the flight, despite that I had paid extra to be able to change my flight. So the incompetent man issues a credit to me for a future flight instead of a refund. But wait, it gets worse… Fast forward to my flight day and I am getting notices about my original flight, not the flight that I am headed to the airport for. So I go into the Allegiant app to see what is going on and even though I have a boarding pass for the new flight I am still booked on the old flight. Obviously a 9-year old can see the problem in this, but the incompetent Allegiant customer service rep cannot. So I attempt to cancel the the incorrect flight and I get a pop-up. It tells me it is too late to make changes and to call a special “back door” phone number. Here it is for you: 702-637-7038.

    My call is answered right away but by this time I am in my car headed to the airport. The agent, who is in the US, tells me that I am not actually on the flight that I am headed to the airport to board! I did mention that I have a boarding pass, right? Tell me how that happened! So she straightens everything out for me. She also tells me that the voucher the incompetent man emailed to me is unusable. So she sends a credit voucher that looks completely different. OMG. Now since I had a credit on Allegiant, I had to dreadfully fly with them one more time. But never will I ever fly with this lousy airline again. So this time around, everyone that I communicate at Allegiant via phone or email about my accommodation as a disabled person is EXTREMELY RUDE, JUST NASTY. And as a disabled person they gave me an extremely hard time about accommodating my medical needs both in seat assignment and in bringing a medical device on board.

    They refused to assign a seat to me even though their website states that they will. I had to threaten them three times with going to the authorities — they attempted to lie to me and tell me that they are complying with all applicable laws. I told them that I know my rights and I would not let them get away with violating them. Finally the agent assigned my seat in the last row of the plane just to be insolent. I previously had told them over and over that I had to be in an aisle seat far forward to accommodate my disability. I even gave them the reasons why, which I am not required to disclose by law.

    I am contacting the Department of Transportation to file a complaint. I have flown a lot and used many different airlines. My request for accommodation as a disabled person has always been met with prompt polite service. Until I traveled on Allegiant. What a bad business. I hope they fail. I will be using Spirit Airlines instead. It was a night and day difference flying Spirit. Spirit airline is VERY professional and VERY polite.

    I decided to go on a last-minute trip to celebrate a close friend's birthday. Allegiant had last-minute flights for a good price (I had never flown with them prior to this and had paid for a departure flight). Several things happened regarding my flight. My flight was originally scheduled for 5:53 pm and was delayed until 6:53 pm and then last-minute changed to 6:03 pm. I attempted to check in online and pay for my bag, but the site kept coming up with an error whenever I tried to pay. Cool. I got to the airport only to be told that the gate was closed. I was clearly confused as to why the gate was closed. The representative, with whom I was not originally speaking, entered the conversation rudely, saying the gate was closed and she wasn't able to open it. I explained to her that I was there on time, so why was the gate closed?

    She kept mentioning that I should've been there 2 hours early despite the fact that I was there early enough to make my flight (this is an extremely small airport). After going back and forth with her, I walked away and asked someone at the airport for assistance. They managed to get the supervisor (to my surprise, I had requested the supervisor numerous times and was told by the same lady that I needed to talk to her). Thankfully, someone who works at the airport got in touch with two of the supervisors who came from the back to assist. The supervisor printed my boarding pass and informed me that the flight was oversold and that is why she closed the gate. He also added numerous other things but stated he wanted me to get to my flight and didn't want to waste any more of my time; however, he assured me that the lady was wrong and that the gate should've never been closed. Cool, fast forward.

    I boarded and as soon as the aircraft pulled off from the gate, we immediately went back to the gate due to a maintenance issue on the aircraft. We were told that we would be switching aircraft, which should take about 45 minutes. We all exited the aircraft and waited for hours for an update. Whenever we asked, we were told that they did not have any updates. Around 9:05 pm, we were told the flight was canceled (yes, 3 hours later). I went to speak with another representative regarding a flight due to being in an urgency to get home for a immediate family member's surgery. The representative informed me that the next flight they had available was on Thursday. She mentioned that they had a flight the next morning in Tampa which would've required me to drive 2-3 hours. I asked them if they would cover rental, I was told no.

    They gave us an option of a $150 voucher or a virtual cash card (they were unaware of the amount that we would get). Again, I explained the urgency of me needing a sooner flight. The representative was nonchalant and basically said there is nothing they can do other than the credit and rebook me for a Thursday flight. So desperately needing to get home, I started to search for last-minute flights which were about $1000-$1600. I was able to get a flight the next day leaving out of MCO. Still unaware of how much the virtual cash that we were supposed to get back, and having to purchase a NEW flight due to needing to get home, on top of having to pay $72 for an Uber ride to the other airport, I was left stuck unsure of what to do. I ended up having to pay for a room (my flight was the next day at 3:36 pm), spend $72 on an Uber ride, and a last-minute flight (see above for price range).

    My virtual cash came through, which was only $200! I have been contacting Allegiant because I need to be reimbursed and accommodated! The first representative I spoke with told me it wasn't the airline's issue and that the flight was canceled due to "weather"putting blame on something else to not be held accountable. After I ensured him it was not weather-related, he disconnected the phone call and the call dropped. The second person I spoke with was able to provide me with accurate information and was understanding that something needs to be done; however, the call got "dropped". After a 3rd call, I was able to speak with a supervisor name Ramel who acknowledge that this was definitely a allegiant issue but just to be told the only compensation that would be given was the $200 that all passengers received.

    I've spent close to $1000 due to Allegiant's inconvenience and they refuse to pay even after acknowledging that this is an airline issue! This was my first time booking with them and will be my last time! I have never experienced this with any other airline. Please do not fly with them, they do NOT take care of their passengers whatsoever. Many of the passenger on the aircraft have said that Allegiant has canceled many of their flights before and does nothing about the inconvenience. Horrible airline and piss-poor customer service and the nerve to offer a $150 voucher. I don't want that voucher as y'all wouldn't ever get service from me again!

I needed to make a change on a reservation and I waited 2 hours for the agent to make the correct changes. She didn't seem to listen to what I needed and then made an incorrect change and had to start over. As a customer service representative she argued with me as to what I had told her as if I didn't know what my travel plans were.

    I can't imagine what their management is like in this Company as this type of Customer Service usually flows down from Mgmt. We've use Allegiant many times as it's a direct flight for us. In addition, we've actually had our flight cancelled at boarding time and rescheduled for the next morning! We've had to sit on the plane at the gate for an extra 1/2 hour while the pilot from our flight gets off the plane and moves the Allegiant Plane that's currently sitting at our gate.

The Southwest flight scheduled to the same city left on time. I checked on FlightAware and see the plane we are using has been here for a full day. Why is this happening? I will not be flying Allegiant again. This is not the first time I have experienced delays from their Airline and I should've known better. Next time I will be flying any other airline, since with the "add-ons" it is more expensive to fly Allegiant anyway. Looks like a lot of folks feel the same way, as this airline has terrible reviews.

After buying a whole ticket for my dog and going through all the necessary steps given to me BY THE AIRLINE to ensure he gets on the plane, he is denied at the gate. I began to tell the women working for me that I had everything he needed to fly when I was very rudely cut off by a woman at a completely different counter. At first all she said was “NO” over and over again. I would try and talk to the other woman who was helping me, but I couldn’t get one word out without the woman at the other booth screaming at me.

    I am a 17 year old girl with bad PTSD who gets support from her dog. Being screamed at and berated by this woman broke my heart and right there I broke down and began to sob uncontrollably, to which she just scoffed and rolled her eyes. There was only one sweet girl who was telling the flight attendant to just let me and my dog on, all the flight attendants argued for a bit, but she was quickly screamed at and told to shut up by the previous women who wouldn't stop screaming, "No." I ended up calling my mother to get my dog as me boarding the flight was non-negotiable. I still hadn't stopped crying after getting through security and walking to my gate.

    As I was approaching a seat, still crying, one of the flight attendants from before came over and stopped me. She then proceeded to take me far away from the other passengers to a seat facing the wall stating that “the other passengers didn’t need to see me crying like this or they’ll get nosey.” It was clear to me that they just didn’t want people to know what I had just gone through with them. I still am upset when I think about this. How the flight attendants clearly took advantage over me and disregarded my feelings and existence is horrible and it sickens me. I will never be flying Allegiant ever again. Plus the seats feel like cardboard and there’s no legroom, I’m 5 ft tall so being able to notice a lack of legroom and being uncomfortable is insane.

It took so long for someone to take pity on me and push me to baggage claim that my bag had already been stowed in the baggage office which was locked and NO ONE was around to open the office for me to get my luggage. I paid $75 to have my bag flown (one of their many upgrades) and have been without my bag for 2 days. It has ALL my medicines in it. They would not deliver it to me and when I drove the 50 miles to go get it at 10:30 in the morning, they were closed yet again.

    Another 100 mile RT and still no bag. They failed to tell me they would not be open even though I conveyed what time I would be coming. Their customer service is nonexistent! I have never had a problem on Southwest or American. They seem to care for the disabled. Ultimately, Allegiant cost me more money than I would have paid on SW. I will never fly Allegiant again no matter how cheap the ticket.

    I have flown Allegiant 4 times in 3 weeks- same personal item (backpack) each time with no issues. On my 5th flight I went to board and the gate agent said I needed to talk to another one of the gate agents - not knowing why? I was asked to put my bag in their measuring device / it was overstuffed a little and she said, "You have to pay $75 now or you won’t get on the plane." I was flabbergasted. I explained I purchased this this backpack for exactly this reason and made sure it was in their personal item measurement requirements. Her comment to me was - "Well I guess you are just lucky for the the 1st 4 flights and saved money." I was shocked and very mad. Paid for the carryon so I didn’t miss my flight - Mad and frustrated - got in my seat, tested the size of my backpack and it fit under my seat in front of me, but put it in the overhead bin, since they made me pay $75 for a space in the bin.

    Let’s just say- the flight was not full, we waited on the tarmac 45 minutes to take off, because they had to check everyone’s boarding pass individually again because individuals had not shown up for the flight, and top it off the overhead bins were 1/2 full. To me that tells you that maybe Allegiant should either raise their fares to cover carry-on luggage and stop Nickel & diming consumers by charging for each seat, carry-ons, and bottles of water. So the fee they made me pay was more than my flight- how is that even right? To finish off my trip I had one more leg of my flight the next day. I checked in with the same backpack and no issues whatsoever. So Allegiant needs to get their stuff straight. For the Employees' demeanor and un-professionalism I will not be flying with Allegiant anytime soon.

    My mother has been flying Allegiant for the last couple of years to and from Florida. We made arrangements again this year. Unfortunately, her health got in the way. Tried to cancel her trip (just a couple of days away) as she was in the ICU at the hospital. That was too late I guess for Allegiant, so no refund or credit to her account. A few days later, mid October, 2023 she passed away. I tried to call the customer service line (been in queue for a call back for 6 days now). I finally got someone in the chat.

We were there at the regular time, and yes, we hit the bar ( just like the rest of the other unhappy passengers). Flight finally arrives and we start to board at 10:30 pm.

    When I’m traveling to a 2A friendly state I always check to see if I can bring one of my pistols. Of course the great state of Tennessee allows this so I brought one with me for our trip and have done this many times. In the Albany Airport the drill is bring the locked case to the counter of the airline you are flying, whoever is working the counter calls TSA, TSA agent arrives, I open the locked case and then the TSA agent calls one of the Albany County sheriffs and both look at my drivers license and my pistol license as I fill out a TSA card and sign it, the signed card goes in the case and I lock it, receive a baggage claim ticket and the locked case goes with all bags.

    On Friday we arrive at the Nashville airport and go to the Allegiant counter where we checked our bags and I tell the folks at the counter that I’m checking my firearm. All 4 had a deer in the headlights look. Now mind you this is Tennessee, not Connecticut or Massachusetts or New York. NONE OF THEM knew what to do. So, I told them that they needed to call a TSA agent. My wife and I waited for 10 minutes and another Allegiant employee arrives, he fills out some paperwork and has me sign it and then tells me to take the paperwork AND my firearm thru TSA security and give it to one of the people at our gate.

    This was my return trip and I was charged $50 at the gate for my “additional carry on bag”. I had a shoulder bag and a purse, both of which fit comfortably below the seat in front of me. I had both of these same bags on by first trip and was not charged. Ridiculous. They seemed to be very interested in getting everyone boarded early and as quickly as possible on both legs of the trip.

    The first leg we were able to leave early just to sit on the runway for an extra 30 minutes because there was no gate available. This trip we were rushed to board just so the gate staff and the flight attendants could chat while the pilots still got ready to depart. All the while we were stuck in our very uncomfortable seats without the ability to recline and practically on top of each other. Even the tray tables were more of a phone holder than a table, they were so small. You have to purchase even water, and there is no Wi-Fi or anything similar available. I can’t stand Southwest Airlines, but Allegiant makes Southwest look like a luxury airline. Taking Allegiant saves me 3 hours of driving to and from the airport and I will drive to a farther airport from now on and pay higher fares to avoid them.

A short while later I noticed dirty looks from the attendants, primarily Lisa, to the point it was uncomfortable. I then saw them summon the Capt out of the cockpit and point at me. The capt made a call on the wall phone and looked at me and made a statement like "took care of him". Then they passed refreshments, and passed me by, ignoring me. After that, back to the evil stares. It was so bad I summoned her over and asked what was wrong. Lisa replied "another passenger told us you called us **, and that makes you a level one threat".

    I was blown away, and told her, "I said nothing like that." She said, "yeah we'll see about that". I really thought she was going to get me kicked off my return flight. I asked the other attendant how I could be called a threat based on some random person's word that they themselves never heard? She ignored me and walked away. Ultimately, I returned on my other flight with the same crew without incident, but it was both a baffling and upsetting situation. Lisa has anger issues, and armed with misinformation attempted to take action against me. Unreal!

    Don’t fly with this airline. Terrible experience! We encountered several customer service issues flying with this airline. First, we didn’t receive a notification that the flight was running late until we were already checked into the airport. We found out later from others that they had known about the delay for over 2 hours prior! I believe the DOT requires a 30 minute notice from when the airline finds out. That didn’t happen.

    Then the flight continued to delay further and further by 1 hour increments without any info what was going on until 4 hours into the delay. Normally this would be tolerable, but we were traveling with our 4 kids including a newborn. We called customer service and were told they can’t do anything for us and to contact their e-mail line. We talked to the front desk and said that they won’t do anything unless the flight is delayed by 8 or more hours! We talked to the gate attendants and they said they couldn’t help us because corporate controls all customer service actions. No meal voucher, no credits, no refunds, nothing to help the situation. We contacted Allegiant via email and we’re notified they would get back to us in a few days.

    The flight was finally delayed all the way to 6 hours. We were supposed to leave at 3:50pm, we are now leaving after 10pm. We’ve been in the airport for close to 7 hours at this point and have seen very minimal customer service. Absolutely terrible experience. Would not recommend anyone ever fly Allegiant.

Why didn’t those get cancelled as well? This was all after they delayed the flight for almost 2 1/2 hours making it impossible to rebook for another flight same day. Now we have to rent a car and fly out tomorrow from a different airport on a different airline for way more money than we are getting reimbursed for this flight because Allegiant doesn’t have another flight out from this current airport until Thursday (it’s Sunday today).

    On top of that, because we had to book flights last minute, my family (my husband, me, our 4 year old, and our 9 month old) can’t seat together because there aren’t enough available seats next to each other on this other last minute flight we had to book.

    - Flight was late (not usually that big of a deal)
    - After arriving, she waited over two hours for a "paid" check baggage, with no communication at all on eta or reason from Allegiant staff
    - She had been picked up by a mother with a baby, so they had to call it a night after 2.5 hrs.

    - A passenger wandered out to the Tarmac to see if he could get info about what was going on.d crew, that Allegiant was short staffed, and they had no ETA

    - At no time did Allegiant send a message to my daughter through Text or the App (even though you have her information, and knew she checked a bag (#**).
    - With no information, and with no one at Allegiant Airport picking up the phone or calling us back (we left messages) the communication was completely irresponsible and non-sympathetic to the passenger schedules (like college classes).

    - I called twice myself and no one returned calls.

    - She went back, paid for transportation there on the next day, Jan 4th, but no one from Allegiant was there (couldn't you pay for 1 staff to be there to hand out luggage?)
    - She found airport staff who said they couldn't help, but to come back on Friday the 5th at 9am or 2pm when Allegiant had a flight and therefore staff.

    - Turns out there was no flight in the afternoon, but we were lucky and we stumbled onto that fact, no thanks to Allegiant, so she went in the morning.

    - Why couldn't Allegiant take action to at least communicate? To deliver the baggage would have been even more helpful, even it was for a fee. Why not use the system which knows she checked a bag? Why didn't someone the night of the Arrival come tell the passengers "we had an accident, we are short staffed, Allegiant doesn't offer services (or care) so come back when we have a flight so that you can stand in line and have an agent help you get your luggage that we will hang on to for 2 days and have you at our convenience come get it, taking a chance on when you arrive because we don't communicate because walking to the waiting customers or sending an email or text is too expensive.

    - Please let me know what happened, and why. This was VERY stressful for our young student who didn't have her luggage, clothes, etc and didn't have a ride and was dealing with school.

The pilot told us we may have to circle around because of the weather or go to a nearby airport and wait until the weather clear up. Well after 10 minutes we left and went right back into the sky. Nobody said why. After 15 minutes the pilot says we are going to Indiana to fuel up and wait until the weather clears up. After that nothing. Another 10-15 minutes he says we will arrive in about 60 miles (what is that I don't know). We arrived. They let us off the plane. We waited 2 hours.

    By this time my nephew who arrived at 6:30pm to pick me up from Muskegon advised the weather was clear. I went to the desk and asked what we were waiting on. He said for another person to come in at 10pm. This pilot came at 10 pm. We got on the plane at 10:30pm.. It is now 12:50 am and we are still on the plane. We have to ask for updates.

Since they offer so few flights and don't code share with other airlines, you are left stuck having to purchase very expensive last minute fares on other airlines. They just did it to us again for Thanksgiving week. Our flight was cancelled 8 days before the trip with no explanation. We had the privilege of spending $800 more for holiday travel since it was pretty last minute. Whatever savings you think you are getting upfront by a budget airlines will bite you in the rear since you will spend far more due to all their cancelled flights. We will no longer risk it. When I have called customer service, they said that is the risk you take and why they are so cheap. Grrr.

    In the last 3 weeks I have had 3 terrible encounters with Allegiant. I am not one to usually leave bad reviews when the circumstances are generally out of their control but I think this needs to be known by future travelers. On a flight from Orange County to Provo and as we were about to take off the captain announced that there were negative weather conditions in Provo so they would try to land but “it’s not looking good”. So as they were about to land in Provo they began to ascend and then said “We won’t be able to land, we are diverting to Mesa, AZ”. Ugh. So we get to Mesa Gateway and basically they just kicked everyone off the plane and said “You can book another flight on the app or rebook with another airline.” Uh, the next flight back to Provo was 3 days later, it was almost midnight and there were mother other airlines from that tiny airport.

    Two hundred people on that flight were displaced to AZ and Allegiant did nothing to help any of them. Some of them were younger teens traveling alone and lots of families just coming from Disney. I had to book a flight out of Phoenix the next day and paid 349 for one way. Between the 349 fare, the hotel that night and the Uber fares I was out almost $500. ALLEGIANT DID NOTHING but give me a voucher for a later flight. No other airline would have handled this in such a manner. It was so inconsiderate. Not to mention that my husband who was waiting for me in Provo was never able to get a straight answer from any customer service person about where my plane was. He has no idea where I was until I called him.

    Fast forward to 4 days ago… we have had Disney trip planned for months. We get a notice that the Provo-SNA flight was cancelled. So we scramble to rebook a one way flight to get there, of course paying 3 times the fare. Two days later, they cancel the SNA to Provo flight back!! Seriously?? So after now booking another one way flight to get home we have paid THREE TIMES THE FARE so that we can maintain our plans and not lose all our other deposits. I get cancellations happen for lots of reasons, but there should be some compensation for so much inconvenience especially this time of year. What’s going on ALLEGIANT?? This has been the most frustration and inconsiderate experience I have ever had with an airline. Truly, I won’t be using them again. There is too much other worthy competition.

    We have flown Allegiant Air many times over the years. I will go out of my way to fly with this airline, even over Delta. I don't know how they continue to offer such low fares flying mostly into their own small airports such as Clearwater-St Pete & Phoenix-Mesa. Our recent trip was from Toledo to Phoenix-Mesa. Two tickets with upgrades came to $252 in total. Get serious. If we would have driven to Detroit-DTW and flown with Delta it would have been over $1,000. The arrival and depart times were during the day and not red-eye like Delta. Very clean and modern planes. The staff is always pleasant.

    I booked a flight for Granddaughter's wedding from Sarasota to Flint. On Allegiant Air. The flight was for Nov.10th. I booked in August. September 4th my husband passed away, then Hurricane Ian hit my area in Florida. I was one of the lucky ones, I can still live in my house, but need a new roof, new ceilings in Great Room and Kitchen plus outside trees and shrubs look like a war zone. I call customer service for 2 days and could not get through. After research I found another number, got in touch with customer service. I was on the phone for 51 minutes and ended paying $100.00 plus a deposit. They told me they paid to a car rental company. They gave me 2 vouchers, would not refund my late husband's money. I understand not mine. Most uncompassionate company I ever dealt with.

    This is now considered the worst airline I have ever traveled with. They announced a 4.5-hour delay with no explanation or empathy to travelers. We were offered some soda/pop, but no food vouchers or anything. I reached out to customer service twice by email, with no response. I tried the customer service line with an hour hold, to no avail. The chat box is never available. What a wasted airline!

    Myself and another passenger had a flight booked for today, October 3, 2022 to Ft. Myers, Fl. today. My house was completely destroyed, I talked to an agent regarding what to do, and I was told that unless the airline, Allegiant, cancelled it themselves I would still be charged for the flight. I checked the status of the Ft. Myers airport RSW, and the airport is still closed today. So no commercial flights could land. Allegiant airlines is still going to charge me for the flights, even though the airport is closed.

    You have no right to keep any of the money. Especially on such a thing as having to cancel because of a hurricane!!! You are a bunch of scumbags. I despise your company and eSky for keeping $64.32 of my money because you cancelled my previous flight. You are nothing but a rip-off. Always looking for ways to steal people's money, I am disabled and on social security. You are the scum of the earth. Treat people the way you want to be treated. You have been reported!!!

    When you want to know what time you can check in your luggage. They tell you it is 2 hours before. But I had to talk to some employees of the company to find out to when you can. It is better to use their app if you have an account with them.

    One flight was good 2.5 hrs no problem, the return flight was canceled the day of (just a few hrs prior) no explanation, just canceled... Tix are cheap, but if you get canceled last minute and you're having to purchase last minute tix thru another airline you'll pay EXTRA! As this airline only flies to certain places twice (2x) a week. Book at your own risk! Good luck.
