    Stay away from this airline. If you need to make a change in your plans forget it. It can take hrs to reach anyone if you are lucky.. Worst of all is their web site. I tried to make changes myself and it ended up costing me over 300 dollars. I finally reached someone after many tries and they said the charge would be taken off the next billing cycle. They also down right lie to you about an exclusive 800 number you get if you sign up for their lousey card. Big joke and priority boarding is too. If you have no lugguage, don't care where you sit and basically fly bareboned, it is a good deal. However, I still don't like them and don't trust anything they say.

    Please, do not book a flight on any Allegiant Airlines. It may be more affordable but no way is it. I will not use anyone attached to this CO. I will not get into specifics. I don't share negative reviews however this involves a person's choice, putting wellbeing into the hands of others is a choice yes, however this choice I did not make wisely. Please, do the research I did not do as deep as I should have. Wish it was a responsible, in everyday safe airline environment.

    This is the worst, most incompetent, uneducated money grabbers. I purchased two seats. I paid for my dog and a carryon. I had a tiny purse. I went up to podium to for them to check my dog and within minutes they turned it into a three ring circus! They told me my second ticket wasn’t valid nor was it legal. I checked in and it didn’t matter what I had on my Allegiant app! If’s illegal Then Allegiant is committing fraud and crimes as they allowed me to purchase it! They then forced me to check a carryon that I already paid for when I booked my trip! They then forced me to pay $75.00 to check the bag in! This was forced. They told me I did not have the other seat which it is clear as day I paid for it and checked in! Don’t fly this airline you will regret it! You are better off with educated carriers! I have two receipts for Consumeraffairs!

    I have flown Allegiant many times and it was a great experience! But I’ve always done short trips with them and never had to bring a carry-on before or a checked in bag. Decided to do a bigger trip with Allegiant and found what I thought were good deals on a flight. When I went to book, being not a very experienced flyer, I saw the bundle option on the main page of their website and selected the “Bonus” option which showed that the Checked-In bags were included with the blue mark. So while purchasing the flight I didn’t select what I thought would have been the “extra” checked-in bags for the flight, since I thought they were already included in the bundle that I have already selected. APPARENTLY, they are NOT included. And I think that is a misleading marketing.

    They show you how much money you would save if you select all the “included” items with the protection plan to get that price. But nowhere in the front page it says that in normal-sized letters. You have to manually add those items on. So…. Definitely was thrown off by this. I’ve flown with Delta, South West, and United and never had these “misconceptions” and the flights sometimes aren’t that much more expensive. So…just not something that I really liked about this last trip with Allegiant.

    I asked this and they said no. I think it's reasonable considering the circumstances. This is my first time flying Allegiant. This flight was changed and now arrives just before midnight instead of 5pm. That's a pretty big difference. I'm traveling with my children and we had plans to drive up to Jacksonville for an appointment. I can change my plans, but I can't drive that late at night as it is unsafe for me to do so for many reasons. I looked into other options (other flights with Allegiant) and there aren't any. I get my girls on Friday 20th at 3:30pm and it's an hour to any airport from where we live. If I switch airlines at this point, it will cost me more than double to travel on the 20th or 21st.

    I am a single mom and can't afford to switch. I don't have a return flight with Allegiant because I had a discount with another airline that I used to make traveling during the holidays affordable for me. I'm just asking for either hotel accommodations, a similar price with another airline on 20th or 21st, or something to make up for the major change this is in our plans. I'd like to work something out that is fair to both of us since Allegiant changed their flight significantly. Thank you for considering this. Please call me if needed.

    Hi, I paid for 1 bag already and when I reach the airport they told me that it wasn't paid, so they asked me to repay and call you guys for refund, my box was big so I had to cut it down to avoid any extra charges but the supervisor came and said that I was fine, just call you guys for refund that it was already paid. I called as soon as I came home but the guy who helped me was so rude and hanged my call, I called my bank and they said I can do a fraud claim on it, but talk to you before I go ahead.

    Allegiant does not take into consideration emergencies. Purchased a ticket and had to leave earlier than expected so I drove. When I returned I canceled flight, car and hotel. All but Allegiant gave me a full refund. Of an approximate 200.00 ticket I received 6.00 dollars. Everything else was taken due processing fees.

    I was defrauded by Allegiant Air. I had a round trip flight canceled due to Hurricane Milton. All of my friends got a full refund but I only got 1/2. On three different occasions, their customer service has lied to me giving me conflicting information about the date the refund was sent. I was also told I’d get an email to track the refund and also has not happened.

    Allegiant cancelled my return flight from Sanford Florida to Rockford, IL without my knowledge and or consent. They then refused to allow me to board the flight that had 4 seats available before it departed during Hurricane Helene. They forced me to purchase another ticket that departed on Monday, September 30, 2024, which meant that I had to stay in Sanford for three additional days. They weaponized the airport police against me and had me trespassed -AFTER THEY REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO BOARD THE FLIGHT ON FRIDAY AND BUY ANOTHER TICKET TO LEAVE ON MONDAY. I was removed from the airport, via the back of a police car. Allegiant refuses to respond to my many attempts to have them address the fact that they cancelled my reservation without my knowledge and or consent, refused to provide a hotel and travel to and from the hotels.

    On 10/20/2024 Allegiant airline charged me a fee of 75.00 for taking an electric scooter with me on a return flight from Fresno to Las Vegas. Prior to this flight I had no issue in Las Vegas checking in my electric scooter. The prior weekend on 10/13/2024 I had successfully taken my electric scooter from Las Vegas to Fresno. I had a similar hiccup in Fresno to Las Vegas, however when I showed them my gate check in I was allowed to pass. In my return flight to Las Vegas on 10/20/2024 from Fresno I was stopped and told that I would be charge a fee and was told that it was a courtesy for my last flight. I explained that I was told no such thing and explained if I had why would I bring my electric scooter again.

    Prior to this entire situation I had taken a flight where a couple had taken their electric scooters on the flight with no issue. I wanted to do the same since I travel all the time with Allegiant. I did research and called, looked online for the airliner policy, spoke to Allegiant in Las Vegas and there were no issues. Only in Fresno Ca did I have an issue with taking my electric scooter on my return flights. I am leaving these reviews here. They are worth the 75.00 I had to pay. Allegiant apparently enjoys to nickel and dime their customers.

    My returning home flight was canceled twice due to Hurricane Helene, now, that is what it is, it has nothing to do with the airline. Yesterday, I was on hold for nearly an hour and a half until I was put on the phone with customer service rep to reschedule the flight. I was told my flight was to leave October 3, 9:38pm, and I made the service rep reiterate this information multiple times, I had the information written down, this is what I was told. I get to airport, and lo and behold I was given the wrong day and the wrong time. That's what it says on the email as well. Irate isn't a word strong enough to describe the disdain I hold for Allegiant right now, and it's a shame because I usually only ever have good experiences with the airline.

    Horrible company. I travel all airlines frequently but this one has the worst customer service. Due to Helene Hurricane was unable to fly to Sarasota FL with my family. Finally got through a rep, not respectful at all and got hung up twice. Last rep decided to just quit the call. Invite your company to review my call. They wanted $1600 more for a rebook even though is due to storm Helene. I rebooked it myself for a $500+ online. Wrong billing on a rebook over an hour and then calls disconnect. Unable to understand why multi-Billion $$$$ companies can’t have a decent customer service for their customers. After almost, $1200 on total fees. I will NEVER fly your company again.

    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!

    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.

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.

    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 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.

    Got to the airport 45 minutes early and no one on customer desk for Allegiant..so couldn't board plane coz supposedly I was too late and lost that flight. Supposedly you have to be there 2 hours before. Other airlines never had this problem in Fresno. Worst airline ever.. Don't waste your money.

    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?

And Kelly the “manager” couldn’t even manage her anger issues. Whoever put her in charge should definitely be ashamed. I was then charged twice for the service animal after doing my due diligence and calling the customer service to see if my SAID card would work. She said yes.

    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.

    Loving or hating any budget airline comes down to what you value. I value airlines that put their money in the right places. To me, Allegiant does that. If 10 boarding groups, little screens in seats that recline, complimentary beverages, and free carry-ons are worth a $300 markup to you, cool. You be you. I value timely departures, a spotless safety record, and an affordable way to see my family. The non-reclinable seats, to me, actually are a bonus, because there’s no drama, I think I actually have as much legroom as Delta, and perhaps even wider aisles.

    Bottom line, I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Allegiant — no major delays, lost luggage, stomach-churning turbulence, or rude flight attendants. Yes, you pay for “extras” like checked luggage and reserved seats (though you don’t really have to select seats in advance), but they don’t really hassle you about backpack size and it’s more affordable by a mile than major carriers (and the bundling system isn’t dubious as Frontier’s). We paid $200 (!) roundtrip for flights from Las Vegas to Grand Rapids, Michigan. No other airline comes close. And if you get an Allegiant credit card, guess what, you get priority boarding and free beverages, too (pro tip — add your family to the card, and they get free drinks, too).

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. It's still hard to believe, and it hurts a bit to be treated like a criminal when you're only trying to help someone.

    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 paid for the "bundle" which allowed me to select my seats for 9 family members, then was charged for the seat. Received confirmation of selected seats. But when we boarded, the seats were scattered all over the plane and couples were split up. No one sat with their spouses. I called customer service and the rep was curt and refused to consider the $84 that was paid for the "bundle" nor reimburse for the seats that were randomly assigned after paying for them, she then hung up on me when I asked to speak with a manager.

    This is the worst airline I've ever dealt with.. Very rude Flight Attendants, rude assistance on the Member Services Line, rude Gate Agents. No distinction between the Member Services Line and the regular Reservation line, just always expect a minimum of a 2 hour wait if you need to call in a change... 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. This is really laughable and shows very poor planning on the part of Allegiant Air. Thank you!

    I chose this flight because it was at a reasonable time and for a reasonable price. After all the "extras" which are simply just humane things complimentary by all other airlines, I at least hope to be somewhat comfortable. My flight is delayed for the 2nd time with no explanation. 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. Allegiant spent millions in branding/marketing for that new Stadium in Vegas sporting their name, but can't have a flight depart on time or allow for seats with headrests.

    Terrible customer service! I came an hour before boarding and if you know the Provo airport you know that is way early. I went to add a checked bag to my flight and no employees were at the ticket counter so I waited 20 minutes to see if an employee would show up and nothing. So I decided to go through security and just pay the full fee for my bag and got to the gate and they said they closed the boarding gate 2 minutes prior and wouldn’t allow it to open. So basically showed up an hour early and missed a flight due to terrible customer service, then I was hoping that they would reimburse or and least help on the next flight and nope.

    I wish I could give this airline less stars and 1. Terrible customer service. 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    I flew Allegiant from St Petersburg Fl, to Wichita Ks, today 6/7/23. The attendants were very rude when I attempted to ask a question. The man seated next to me said "what's their problem" to which I replied, "I don't know, I'm speechless". 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!

On both occasions I tried using Chrome, Microsoft edge and Duckduck on my laptop as well as chrome, duckduck, and the mobile app on my Samsung cell. None of these methods would allow me to navigate to the light check-in screen. I have been told that there was a major site upgrade, however, no one is monitoring the upgrade results nor are they fixing them! Took me couple hours to get through to their customer service to get checked in. Only other option was to wait until I get to airport to check in and they will charge you $5.

    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. Fly JetBlue, Spirit, or Frontier instead if you want a budget airline.

    This was our first time flying with Allegiant and out of the Provo airport and I had heard horror stories but decided to take a chance and now I’m regretting it because our flight got cancelled today to Provo, Utah allegedly due to “weather concerns.” However, we have family in Utah there who say it’s barely flurries right now and projected to get better, not worse, over the next several hours. So I don’t believe for a second that it’s due to weather. Did salt lake airport have to cancel any of their flights? What about the other flights landing in Provo today? 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. I want Allegiant to reimburse us for the rental car and the difference in price it is costing us to fly from a different airline. This is ridiculous. What is up with all of the airlines, like southwest, that keep cancelling flights and can’t get their crap together??

    My daughter Natalie ** flew from Phx to Idaho Falls flight 636, Jan 3rd. Here is the sequence of comical, unbelievable errors by Allegiant, but most disturbing was the non chalant attitude with no communication and mitigation to the errors.
    - 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.

    I am currently on flight 543 that was suppose to leave from Nashville at 4:46pm. We did not leave until almost 6pm. We arrived in Grand Rapids around 7:30pm. 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. They have gave us 10 different waiting reasons. Even waiting for fuel was a reason. Mind you this is the reason we came to Indiana 4 hours ago. I asked one of the workers name Hillary for an update. She rolled her eyes at me and walked away.

    I have a 6 year old and a teenager starving. Had to ask for water and a snack. They gave us some small pretzels. This airline is a disaster.

    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.

    My flight with Allegiant was scheduled for Saturday, May 28th out of Grand Rapids to Orlando. I returned on Sunday, June 5th via American Airlines out of Tampa Florida. My luggage was lost. I spoke with Bonnie, Grand Rapids Allegiant representative for many days. She was SOOO nice and tried to help as much as possible. By Wednesday, June 1st Bonnie let me know it was not likely we would find the suitcase at this point (5 days) and to keep all receipts for purchases made during our stay. This was devastating news. So many favorite things are just gone!

    How does this happen? It was a direct flight. Actually, it happened that the Allegiant attendant put the wrong tag (that he printed) on my bag. I was notified on Thursday, June 2 that my bag had been located and would be couriered to my location in St. Pete Florida. The baggage arrived on 6-3-22. The suitcase looked like it had been run over. I am missing one purse, one shoe, and a gift that was for my wedding party on Saturday. A pair of white pants I had in the suitcase looked like the shoe prints all over them had hydraulic fluid on them. Also, my perfume was cracked and broken, clearly from the impact of my suitcase being run over, and exploded all over my bag! I can't tell you the amount of time I spent (daily) in attempts to buy clothing and personal items to get through our many meetings.

    We were searching for a house and had realtor meetings for 6 days and then a Wedding! I had nothing. I had to buy another suitcase and ended up paying to check both bags on the way home! This has been a disaster and it started with the Allegiant employee incorrectly tagging my bags and now not paying to have the items reimbursed. I have sent a spreadsheet and receipts for everything bought while in Florida. I believe that Allegiant should be liable for my time, the stolen items, and the items destroyed during the time the suitcase was lost. They still have not paid any claims or reimbursement to me.

    Along with many others, I want to express how dissatisfied I am with Allegiant for canceling my flight. I spent over a week of my time researching and booking the flight, hotel and car rental for a vacation 6 months in advance. They canceled the flight without any reason or explanation. I will not be spending any more of my valuable time planning a trip with them so they can arbitrarily eliminate it. I guess they in with the cancel culture mentality. They aren't the only ones who can cancel. I cancel them!!

    The worst experience I’ve ever had with an airline. Honestly, I’m embarrassed for Gina, the customer “support” representative. I flew an employee down for work. He got to the gate 20 minutes before the flight was supposed to take off and saw it leave the terminal. I called Allegiant to try and get a refund. After waiting for 2 1/2 hours, I spoke to Gina for less than 10 minutes explaining the situation. She said “I shouldn’t even be talking to you this long since you cannot verify the information.” I gave her ALL the information. She was just embarrassed because I called her out for being terrible at her job. It’s clear they make you wait on hold for an inconceivable amount of time then if you are patient enough to get a “support” representative they just give you the run around then hang up on you. It’s pathetic an airline like this even exists.

    First of all, I value Allegiant Air very highly. I enjoy flying with the airlines and have never had any difficulty at all. On a recent flight I overpaid fees associated with my flight and was due a refund. I contacted customer service (702) 954-8699 and requested assistance. The customer service rep was very rude and condescending. She demeaned my questions and attempted to make me feel very foolish. I've worked in the human resource field for many years and I would never allow an employee such as her to work with the general public. Her behavior reflects very poorly on Allegiant Air. I made my call at 10:45 on 5/18/22.

    My son has medical condition and has been flying with his service dog for 3 year. Today as he was going to go back home, Allegiant denied him the right to take his dog. Unfortunately due to his medical condition he cannot fly without her or put her in a crate. She has always flown on the floor in front of him. Due to Allegiant refusal to allow his service dog, he had to rent a car and try 16 hours to get back home. Thanks Allegiant for being the worst airline ever. Shame on you to deny people with medical condition take their service dogs with them.

    I have flown over a dozen times with Allegiant since 2010. They are my go-to airline for all my trips. Yesterday was the first time I ever had an issue. After 8 hours of delays, the flight was ultimately canceled along with all other flights out of FLL that evening due to maintenance issues. How did Allegiant make this right?

    -They refunded the flight in full.
    -They credited my account with a $300 voucher immediately

    -And finally, additional compensation in the form of a $400 check.

    They did all of this on their own. I didn't have to speak to anyone. They announced the cancelation and by the time I got to my rental car, the emails were in my inbox. They offered assistance to anyone who wanted to reschedule the flight but I decided to just rent a car and make the 16hr adventure back home. I was absolutely blown away with the level of determination Allegiant had to make things right. I would have been happy with just a refund.

    I don't understand bad reviews for delays or cancelations. Would you rather them put you in a bad plane or fly you through dangerous weather? The amount of full grown adults having temper tantrums in that terminal yesterday was just bizarre. Regardless of the airline you chose, plan for the worst and hope for the best. I always leave a buffer day before and after every trip for delays and cancelations. I always prepare for the airline to lose my bag. I always budget some emergency cash and I always have an enjoyable experience when I travel even when things go wrong.

    Flight from Stockton to Las Vegas was to depart from Stockton at 10:08 pm with an arrival time of 11:30 in Vegas. First they called priority and we got up. Then they said, "Never mind. We need to get maintenance out here and we don't know when that is." Then came back on and said, "We will leave in an hour." It's 6 minutes from being an hour and we still are nowhere close to departing. They are very unapologetic and I noticed they have the police here. They were not here before so I think they called them because we aren't really leaving for hours!! I will never fly Allegiant again. I don't care if the airfare is double the price at another airline. They will never see another penny. I hope this airline gets shut down or consumers wise up and stop flying on them.

    6 days before our spring break trip, our flight home from Sarasota on 4/9/22 was cancelled by Allegiant. Since we could not get through to Allegiant's customer service department, we sent an email requesting a 1/2 refund so that we could book another flight home. With no notification, Allegiant cancelled our entire trip, including the flight to Sarasota. When we rebooked THE SAME FLIGHT they charged us an additional $500 for THE SAME FLIGHT we had booked since October 2021. There was NO ONE for us to talk to on the customer service line (waited on hold 6+ hours once), NO ONE available to chat with on-line and NO ONE available to help us at the airport. After 4 separate trips to the airport, we finally found an Allegiant manager who then informed us that he could offer us no help.

    The airline stranded 7 people with no way home during spring break week and offered no assistance. We had to find another airline (Delta) and paid $1000 more for a flight from Tampa, just to get home because Allegiant offered NO other options. We have read on-line that they have offered $100 cash vouchers per passenger for their inconvenience. But when we FINALLY got through on their customer service line today, their service representative, Summer, refused to allow us to speak with a manager and then hung up on us.

    By far the most horrendous service for a military family. My flight was on April 22, 2022 at 7:30am. I downloaded the app on my phone the night before and checked in to my flight within 12 hours of my flight time. I got to the airport at 6am and went and sat in the Cafe by the security clearance until it was closer to time to get to my gate. At 6:30 I went to the security line, I got the the front of the line and was advised by a very nice TSA agent that I wasn't checked in on the app and would need to go to the front desk. I got in line and waited for an Allegiant representative as I approached the counter I explained the situation with the representative KATIE who was very condescending and even grabbed my id out of my hand with force. She advised me the cut of was 5 minutes ago and that I would have to reschedule my flight and pay a new fee.

    I told her that I don't want to reschedule because this is a very important military event I have to be at today at 12. I just needed to check in and she yelled that there is sign on the counter and that is the rules, if I didn't like it I could call the 800 number and to get out of her line. I did move to the side and called Allegiant and spoke with a representative named "Jennifer" whom I explained my situation and she advised me to go back to the counter and have Katie check me in since they have been having glitches with the app lately. I did so but was told that Jennifer didn't put a key note in so she's not going to do anything and I could go to another airline but she don't have time to deal with this pettiness and walked to the back room even the other employees standing there kept apologizing for her rudeness.

    I asked for manager and was told they don't come in until 9am but then another employee stated Katie is actually the supervisor and I needed to call Allegiant and advise them of what's transpired. Unfortunately, I missed my military event due to an employee who thought she could override everyone and belittle her employees and customer.. It's sad to say that I called Allegiant and spent 5 hours online to be told there is nothing they can do since the app is a third party and not any fault of the airline. This is absolutely horrible service from such a big company.

    Allegiant Air completely lost my girlfriend's bag on a direct flight from Orlando to Portsmouth and made no serious attempt to ever find the bag or even reach out with a courtesy call. Okay, so mistakes happen, but customer service never even spoke to my girlfriend in person, but treats her like a potential lawsuit whom they now harass for detailed receipts so that they can make a minimum payout based on "depreciation." When I interceded on her behalf, they sent her a form email misspelling her name and saying that they cannot reach out to her in person because "she has a claim." This airline is the Greyhound of the Skies. Their customer service address is a POB in Las Vegas (for real). Probably because their infuriating treatment has caused past customers to send them anthrax through the mail. Save yourself grief and fly a real airline like Delta, Alaska Air or Jet Blue.

    Worst experience ever. I was scheduled for a 11am departure and received a text alert at 8am the flight was delayed to a 2pm departure. We had already crossed the border into Buffalo so stayed in the general area burning time at a nearby store shopping and were going to head to airport for noon; 2 hours before the revised flight departure. At 10:55am, I received another text that the flight had been moved up to depart at 12pm, literally 1h 5m from the time the text was sent. We rushed to the airport and were in the line to check in bags within 10 min of this time. At exactly 1115pm the single person working behind the counter announced they would not check in any more bags even though myself and at least 40 other people were still in the line. From the time they sent the text with the new departure time to when she announced the cutoff, it was not physically possible to check in all the people there.

    Things just got insane from there with everyone screaming, people taking full luggage through security. The one person working just screamed at everyone they should have been there earlier despite all the revised departure notifications. The manager was apparently hiding upstairs and would not come down to help. I have never seen before where they delay a flight by 3 hours and then bump it back up by 2 hours with 20 minutes notice! The flight ended up leaving an hour late with half the passengers, everyone very angry and many stranded. This was completely avoidable situation if it had been managed properly and passengers were given more than 20 minutes notice of the earlier times. I will never fly them again.

Since no reason was given, they denied the refund. I was told to let Allegiant know they needed to file a waiver with the wholesale department of The Bellagio, and the claim would be paid.

    My experience with Allegiant on my flight to Pittsburgh from Sarasota was nothing short of aggravating. First it took the people at the baggage check-in nearly 50 minutes to get our bags checked in and ready for flight. Had it taken a minute longer, I may have nearly missed boarding the flight... if they had any idea what gate to be at. Our plane was scheduled to leave out of one gate, but the screen showed a totally different flight boarding from our gate at the same time ours was scheduled. We waited for at least 20 minutes to see if our flight would still be boarding from that gate, and the people at the counter ensured us Pittsburgh was still scheduled to board from that gate.

    At the last minute, we were then told our flight was boarding from a different gate which luckily was the one right next to us. If this wasn't bad enough, I had originally paid for a carryon bag that I ended up not utilizing for both the flight to and from Pittsburgh. The people at the desk made a note and gave me a number to call for customer service... I have been calling this number since my return on December 19th and have not gotten through once. I even emailed customer service with no response. Looks as though I will not be getting a refund on the bags I paid for but didn't even use.

They do not offer you anything on the plane. You have to pay for WATER. When we landed, they had apparently forgotten to get the bags off the plane??

    My return flight was canceled, and the next available flight was three days later so I requested a refund. And I was refunded $100…for a flight I’d paid over $400 for including baggage (for two). Customer service wait times was over two hours so I called and called and finally three days later, I reached someone. I asked that the $70 for my baggage be refunded and they said it was a part of the $100… making each of our nonstop tickets $15??? Absolutely not. So I asked to speak to a manager. THIS IS WHEN IT GETS EVEN BETTER.

    She said I got a “really good airfare” for my return flight… $15?! I said “okay, EVEN if that’s true, I deserve half of aaaaaaalllllllllllll of the many fees they charge aside from airfare.” I kid you not - she said the fifteen dollars INCLUDED THE FEES. Which put my tickets at a total of $1.12 each. I said “Lady, do you hear yourself right now??” It was unbelievable.

    I had a TERRIBLE experience on Monday with Allegiant Airlines! I paid for a round-trip plane ticket in July to go home for Christmas from Provo to San Diego. When I arrived at the airport on Monday for my flight they told me I was not on the manifest for some reason. I had my confirmation number, the email they sent me, and I checked my bank account and showed them that I had obviously paid $209 in July for my flight.

    The plane was about to leave but they told me the ONLY way I could get on the flights if I was on the manifest (list of people on the plane). They told me I had to buy another plane ticket to get on the flight which was ridiculous! They told me the next opportunity I would have to get on an allegiant flight would be 4 days later! My brother was with me- he got a ticket the same time I did and he had no problems.

    They had me pay for another plane ticket and gave me a card for a number I should call to work out these issues and get reimbursed. I have been on the phone on hold for 3 hours straight with no one picking up these fast few days! I am completely stuck. They stole $200 from me and I wish I could reach someone to help me! NEVER FLY WITH THEM! IT'S NOT WORTH BEING TREATED LIKE THIS!!!

    Arrived Sanford Airport for return flight to Peoria, IL at 440am for 625 am flight. Went to check in baggage no problem. Went to check in but Allegiant couldn't get my phone scan for the boarding pass. After a long delay of getting someone in management to check they then sent me downstairs to figure it out. After a long delay there they sent me upstairs by them too late. Gate closed. Booked another flight that was a ten hour wait to fly to Indianapolis plus a 6 hour roundtrip back to Peoria (100 in gas). After a few emails I finally received a reply. Of course they did not take the blame for anything. No refund. Flown this airline many times but won't anymore.

    I have had multiple flight cancelled over the past 2 years so I requested a refund instead of a voucher. The refund was approved. I have not received the refund after months of email communication with Allegiant customer service. Allegiant claims Paynuver processed the refund but, again, I have not received my refund. I have asked Allegiant to find out what bank acct they sent the refund to, no response! I have asked them to call me, no response. Pathetic customer service.

    I had a roundtrip flight for my Fall break holidays and the flight got canceled only 2 hours before departure. I tried to contact the customer service for compensation by online chat and Robin cut my chat without letting me talk further. Then I called customer service and after they got my information, they cut the phone. Not only did I lose my non-refundable hotel cost, but I also felt very much disrespectful by Allegiant customer service. I will never ever travel with this airline.

    I was harassed, threatened, verbally abused and violated by the lead flight attendant on my flight. I reached out to the company and they did absolutely nothing. Be very careful with these cheap unproven airlines. Not myself, my immediate family or my extended family will ever fly Allegiant again.

    This was the worst flying experience I have ever had!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER FLY THIS AIRLINE!! My fiance is a transplant patient and now waiting for another transplant. She has a designated medical service dog, not an emotionally support dog, and actual trained, doctor prescribed (UofU transplant team) service dog who detects and warns of blood sugar levels. Normal airlines allow at time of check in to allow verification of service dog. I called before the flight and waited on hold for 90mins to speak with a customer service agent who explained since it was within 48hrs of the flight I would need to bring her verification letter to the desk check in.

    We arrived early and was told abruptly by the gate check in that she needs prior approval and wouldn't even listen or talk to us as other people were on the flight and wouldn't discuss it, she just kept saying "It's not my choice. It's not my problem". We waited for the line to go down and then I showed her on their own website that at the gate the gate agent can accept the paperwork. She refused. She then called customer service herself and told me on the phone that there was nothing that could be done. He said he had no record of me calling, he told me there was nothing to be done and then because I got upset and angry that if I didn't let him finish telling me how it was all my fault he would cancel our tickets with no refund.

    I asked what we could do then he said "find somewhere to put your pet". I then asked if I could just take her on as a regular pet, of course I could...for $50!!! But then complained that the bag she was in was not compliant (service dogs don't have to be in regular bags, she has a designated bag). After arguing again with the service gate agent she finally accepted my money but with condition it was nonrefundable but the air stewards could still refuse the bag. We rush to the plane where the air stewards at first refused, then when we explained she was a service dog and showed her service vest still resisted.

    My fiance is balling at this point. The stewardess then says "oh the vest doesn't mean anything you can just buy that online". I then showed them the WRITTEN DOCTOR'S NOTE and she simply said fine and wouldn't look at us. It's a 1hr 45min flight and has been more stressful than any other flight I've been on. The staff are rude, won't accept responsibility and all they want is to nickel and dime your money. Even if it seems cheaper, never fly this airlines.

    I fly Allegiant often, their low prices and many direct flights from Grand Rapids MI are hard to beat. Yes they do not offer comforts (seats don't even recline) and they nickel and dime you for everything. For a short 2 hr flight, I can deal with most anything. The cancelations are a big problem, but all airlines are doing this to greater extents than before. Best advice, be careful when using Allegiant to fly into one of their lesser served airports (especially when on both ends). They have many destinations that are served once or twice a week, or they seem to drop locations on and off, I've yet to figure out what they have going on. If you're going to one of these locations proceed with caution and your eyes wide open. And especially if you're doing non-cancelable car or hotel reservations or have something that you absolutely must be at, go elsewhere. But if you have some flexibility and are going to one of their heavily served destinations they are worth the chance.

    This is the first time booking with this airline. I got a notice that the flight was delayed on the way to the airport. Shortly after that I get another notification that the flight is cancelled, to add insult to injury. I tried calling. There is a two hour wait time. I am still on hold over an hour at this point. Insane! This is the worst and dumbest company! Don’t waste your money on this airline.

    Our Mother and 5 daughters do a Mother/Daughter trip every year. This year I booked the flight in June, 2021 for us to travel to Nashville. Our oldest sister got sick and took a turn for the worst in September. Unfortunately she passed and we couldn't bring ourselves to take this trip to also celebrate her Oct. 5th birthday. I notified Allegiant Air and Hilda was most kind with me having to make this call in enough time for Allegiant to be able to book our seats. Allegiant refunded all of our money and was very sympathetic during this horrible time we have been going thru. Thanks to Hilda and Allegiant Air I can highly recommend them. #AllegiantAirrocks!!! This would have been my 2nd trip with them and I will certainly use them whenever I can. Very compassionate company and understanding.

    I booked flights in early July and never received email confirmation with the cost of the booking. After many attempts by phone which is impossible to get through in less than two hours, I connected with a CS rep who was going to transfer me and I held for 19 minutes. I then emailed the company to send me details on my purchase. It's been nearly two additional weeks and they still won't respond. And there's no billing dept referenced in their phone tree other than if you have an Allegiant card. My credit card bill did NOT match what I booked and since we've traveled, I have no recourse with my cc. This company is obviously understaffed undermanaged and unresponsive. They're cheap even with all the add-ons, but use another airline. If something goes wrong, you have no recourse and no way to reach anyone.

    So my flight from Florida was canceled and there were no other Allegiant flights available...it happens. So I rebooked with American Airlines. My issue is with the fact that I was on hold for 2 hours one day, 3 hours the next day and finally got through making a call at 4 am on the third day to cancel my flight and get my money back. Add an option to cancel and get get a refund to the card you booked with on your site!!! The vouchers are worthless. And the best part is they sent an email and text about $100 in form of an virtual girt card...the card is no good! Tried it on couple of purchases and it doesn't go through. Makes me think this company is a scam.

    Fabulous vacation planned. Planes, trains, automobiles, hotels, tours.... Allegiant cancelled outbound flight via text @0051. No explanation! Spent 4hrs 28 min on hold with customer NO svc, because online chat only available M-F business hrs. Could stand to hear about the unlimited number of firearms I can carry and the proper way to travel with the 11 pounds of ammunition I was allowed any longer. Recorded message kept saying, "Need help?" Hahaha, if only a live person would have helped me.

    Cost to rebook on other major carriers doubled as people woke up to find Allegiant Air cancelled their flights. Unsure of return flight still, opted to cancel. Never use Allegiant Air!! After this happened have found more horror stories than could have imagined. Yes, Allegiant Air, I would love to hear from you since I have no way to contact you. And yes I need help! Please Michelle, use a different response, your automated one is nauseating.

    If you like good or even passable customer care and airlines that take care of your property while you are flying with them, DO NOT fly with Allegiant Airlines. I flew with Allegiant Airline with my infant and for this reason, I traveled with a stroller which I planned to gate check. At check in, I was given a gate check tag for my stroller which I was asked to sign. The purpose of my signature was not explained to me and not written clearly on the gate check tag.

    Upon arrival at my destination, my stroller which had previously been in perfect condition, was returned to me with the wheels broken to the point that my stroller would not roll and could not support weight. I went to customer service to submit a damage claim and, after a long wait, they told me that because I had signed the gate check tag, the airline was completely free of any responsibility to compensate for the serious and expensive damage to my property. Had I known the airline would not take any responsibility for customer property in their care, I would not have gate checked my stroller and would not have used their airline. The damage inflicted to my stroller and subsequent inconvenience and financial burden that created for me was met with an astounding amount of disinterest and unprofessional customer care by Allegiant Airlines agents.

    I had the WORST experience EVER with this airline. While we are on vacation in Iowa, our returned flight to PIE got cancelled. The cost of finding a flight going back home causes us a lot of stress and money when it should be a relaxing vacation (cost us more than $500 extra to purchase a new ticket back home). Not to mention that we cannot find a flight back using PIE airport, we need to use TPA and get an Uber to take us to PIE to get our car!! Also, when we called to ask for our refund, they said we will only get a $98 refund and the rest will be voucher. I will never fly with Allegiant again!!! So I need a my full refund not a freaking voucher! I will never deal with that kind of stress with your flight cancellation ever again!!!

    I don't mind that Allegiant charges for any checked baggage or that they make it cheaper to add baggage if you do it online. I do mind bad CX. I tried for days to add luggage online but the website was broken. I phoned multiple times but the wait was always more than two hours with no callback opportunity. The website said they they offered Chat with agents but when I tried (again multiple times), I got a popup that no agents are available. I don't know if this is a strategy to force passengers to pay more for checked baggage at the airport or plain incompetence. I suspect the latter. Cheap should not mean bad.
