    I booked a last minute flight to AZ. The night before I got really sick. I called customer service only to be hung up on, twice. I asked to speak to a manager and was just told no. Apparently there is no escalated issue department. I was told my issue did not qualify as an escalated issue. I keep going back and forth with them over email and they're just not customer friendly. They are terrible. Go somewhere else.

    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. They don't refund anyone's tickets I guess for any reason, including the passenger's death. Flight was for 6 months from now. They still even charged her the cancellation fees! Was very disappointed with their reaction. Beware!

    Don't fly with Allegiant. They suck and they are liars. We had a flight out that was delayed by 3 hours. Flight delay was posted at 9 am, our flight was supposed to leave at 7:36 pm and we were told to be at the Airport at the regular time, just in case things changed and the flight moved up. 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. We were then denied boarding because they "smelled" alcohol on us, and an employee lied and said she heard us threaten to blow up the plane.

When I received my credit card statement, come to find out that I was charged $16.99. I emailed customer service & received a confirmed receipt message, but never heard back from them.

    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.

    We have been flying back and forth from Richmond and Clearwater for a number of years. Got up at 3:00 AM today to catch a 6:10 am flight. We got an email on the way to the airport that there would be a 30 min. delay and when we check in it is now leaving at 10:38 AM, next they announced a 11:20 departure. This has happened to us numerous times. One the we were hit by another vehicle and made us late getting to airport. We were told that the ticket deak had just closed about 2 min. before we arrived. The employees has gone up to the gate to work. We asked security if they could come and check us in since we were on an accident. Their reply was no. It cost us $1200 to get tickets on another airline and a hotel room. This will be the last time we use Alliegant.

    I paid $164 for 2 bags at the time of ticketing. Two days before we left, we changed it to 1 bag and the airline charged me again $82, instead of refunding $82! In the end, the $164 "refund" was issued in the form of a VOUCHER that expires in 10 months! (We're not set to fly again until 1 year from now.) Nowhere on their website or the mobile app does it say VOUCHER refunds are given for changes in baggage! If you're flying this airline, do not pay for baggage until you are 100% sure of what you are taking.

    After delaying our flight MULTIPLE times, when we finally got close to leaving they announced the flight has been cancelled due to no plane there to take us (for our scheduled flight). We lost $1,300+ for our hotel that they were not willing to give any compensation for due to them canceling our flight after we had been there for hours. Will never use Allegiant again.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I bought round trip tickets to visit family in Florida just before the pandemic hit! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go due to pandemic but was refused refund credit only. So I Had booked to go but unfortunately again was scammed for a vehicle and lost all my money due to it so had to cancel my trip last minute. I was told tough cookie you lost all your money. No refunds, credit or reschedule. I tried to explain this ticket was from pandemic and I have legit paperwork from the police that I was robbed for all my money. A victim of a very large scandal that thankfully I was smart enough to unravel so no one else had to become victim but lost everything including my airfare. :(:(:(

    Allegiant has cancelled 3 of our flights just this year. 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.

    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. It has been 5 weeks.

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.

    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.

With no notification, Allegiant cancelled our entire trip, including the flight to Sarasota.

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.

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..

Now they are not honoring credit from that canceled flight or refunding me for a rebooked flight to Key West this April 2022. I will be moving forward with a lawsuit to recover my loss and damages unless we can settle this matter in the next five business days.

    Same as many reviews on here. Booked months in advance. My flight was cancelled a few hours before takeoff via text message. No reason or any options given. Tried calling numerous times and always rings busy or puts you on perpetual hold. Still haven't been able to talk to anyone or been able to receive a refund. The website won't let me apply for a refund online because I also had a rental car tied to my flight. Say's I have to call.... good luck with that. I'm out hundreds of dollars! Thieves in my book.

    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.

    We not only had one flight canceled from ICT to Orlando, but then another from Tulsa to Orlando. I got my first flight canceled less than 48 hours before we left leaving me in a last minute frenzy to get a new flight to make out spring break trip happen. The first agent I spoke to hasn’t had a day of customer service training clearly. Hung up after being on the phone 2 hours on hold and Then to speak with someone that I was an inconvenience in her day. Called again- on hold 45 min to speak with someone more helpful that booked us in another flight the same night leaving from Tulsa to Orlando. Got all the way to Tulsa and got an email that it was canceled. Drove back home- on the phone on for 2.5 hours and got disconnected. Tried again the next morning. 2 hours on hold before I spoke with someone that advised the trip was canceled due to weather. I was in Tulsa, there was no weather for another 24 hours.

    I was told weather is different in the air, so I requested documentation about flight being canceled due to weather. They won’t provide. It’s basically their word against mine so no comp for all my wasted time and hoops I jumped through to make this trip happen for my family. Will never use Allegiant again, low cost flights not worth it. I will advise everyone for the rest of my days to did the same. Nothing but headaches.

    I had to cancel my flight during COVID and was given a voucher. When I received the voucher, it did not come along with any rules, guidelines, policies, etc. I knew my voucher expiration deadline was approaching so I attempted to contact customer service a month prior to that date. I wanted to ask about a possible extension and if the voucher had to be BOOKED or USED by the expiration date. I tried instant chat first. Although it said "agents available now", there was no chat available so I sent an email. When I received no response after several days, I sent another email and also tried to call only to be told that estimated wait time is 2 hours!!!

    They said on the recording that they are available on Facebook, I also tried to reach them there. I typed my complete question including the voucher number. A rep answered after two days stating that response times can be up to 8 WEEKS but she could help me -- but didn't answer my question. I retyped my question but have not received a response, AGAIN. My voucher expires today so I tried to book a trip only to find out the departure date has to be before the expiration date. So I just lost $300 because a month was not enough time to get a response from them.

    If I could rate this airline a 0/10 I would. Not only are they the most stingy airline. (5 dollars to print a boarding pass?! What about the elderly who aren’t tech savvy?) They won’t even give you water on the plane without paying an unreasonable price for it. No free snacks like the other airlines either. Again unlike most airlines who require weight is 50lb for checked this airlines is 40lbs and it’s $50 per “overweight bag.” Just literally any drop of money they can squeeze out of you they will. Finally we were a bit early for our flight due to rental car return. We waiting on line for over an hour and got to the front and they said, "We aren’t able to check you in until 1hr 45 min before your flight." That barely left time for security.

    I booked a trip to Las Vegas through Allegiant's website and added hotel accommodations, as well. The day before the trip, my husband tested positive for Covid. I called the hotel and was told any changes had to be made through Allegiant since that's how it was booked. I waited 3.5 hours on hold and finally reached a live person. She stated that I would receive a voucher to be used for future travel.

    Fast forward to today, when I was trying to rebook my travel to Las Vegas. My account on Allegiant's website showed I had a voucher but when trying to purchase the flight and hotel, an error message occurred, preventing me from using the voucher. I used the chat online feature to speak with a representative. I was told the hotel denied my claim and that I would not be refunded the money for the hotel stay. I explained that I am Covid positive and that I let Allegiant know the day I found out. I have copies of the chat from the agent named Lilly - I wish I could attach them. It felt like an SNL skit about the worst customer service ever.

    I then called The Bellagio and after hold for an hour spoke with a supervisor who explained that when the cancellation was made by Allegiant, there was no reason given for the short notice - nothing noting my Covid positive status. 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. I, again, contacted the online chat for Allegiant and again was met with another SNL skit reject upping the status of "worst customer service ever" by someone named Christopher. I stated all they need to do is file a waiver. I was told "NO". I am now on hold with Allegiant, with an expected wait time of "over 2 hours". I hate this airline. HATE THEM.

    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.

    Do NOT EVER FLY Allegiant Air!!!! Worst experience ever! First, boarding the plane, I’ve never seen anyone actually stuff every single traveler’s belongings in that measurement box to check if it was “regulation,” but whatever, it’s the rule. 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?? There were barely any incoming flights, it took an hour for our carousel to even start. But that’s not even my grievance.

    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. They basically claimed that our tickets TO Florida made up 95% of our entire trip - fees and all - and that it was a “really good deal” I got on the way back… ** - STAY AWAY FROM ALLEGIANT!!!!

    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.

    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.

She then asks if I was traveling with someone and I reply that I am (my wife). And she then accuses that she must’ve removed it! I assure her that isn’t possible because she wasn’t even with me at check in counter when I dropped off the bag.

    She then tells me to wait there and goes trying to check all over the airport for the sticker that must’ve fallen off. She finally returns with my bag and discovers that the sticker was stuck on the bottom all along… She then tries to tell me that it was my fault for setting my suitcase on the scale wrong? (I set it on its side and she stuck the sticker on the bottom). To fix her mistake she tells me to go to the back of the regular check in line and wait to get a new bag tag to put the sticker on the top!

    As we are at the gate to board I witnessed two other incidents of altercations with Allegiant employees and it was a small flight! One passenger ended up crying and saying how they will never be flying Allegiant again and how terrible the service is. A quick weekend trip ended up costing me thousands of dollars for my wife and I in missed work, hotel, clothes, food, etc. To reiterate, I will and would recommend you avoid Allegiant. They trick you into booking with low fare but you end up spending way more than if you just booked with a better airline. Allegiant made very little attempt to make anything better and I am extremely disappointed.

    I had a purchased a travel package with Allegiant for flight and rental car from Allentown to Punta Gorda. Due to unforeseen circumstance I needed to cancel both the car and one flight. I was able to cancel the rental car through enterprise, was never able to cancel my flight because they make it impossible to speak to a human. Can’t cancel on the app or make changes. They tell you to call customer service, but the number is never not busy. The online chat option seemed like a good idea but you get a message that says no representatives are available to assist you. So I tried the email option, but no one gets back to me.

    It’s been almost 2 weeks and I’ve yet to be able to speak to anyone, and haven’t been issued a refund for my rental car. The website clearly stated it was a $50 cancellation fee, or if it was less than 24 hours from pick up the fee was $165 to cancel. Not a peep, and not a dime from Allegiant. If you are looking to travel, number one book with someone else. And if you insist on using Allegiant book your other needs separately! With a package you’re unable to make changes on the app, and you will never get in touch with anyone to help you!

    Refund- We have 3 passengers on this confirmation. When we arrived to Kentucky for my brother's wedding, we were notified that majority of passenger's baggage, including ours (3 suits, 6 outfits and essentials), was left in Houston. We didn't have anything but the clothes on our back. We were then informed that we were gonna be reimbursed, for our baggage and any purchases that we were acquired at our stay in Kentucky. After our trip, we tried calling and contacting, the Luggage customer service department. Understandably the lines were busy. But I called everyday for a week, and was still busy. Eventually I got through to an agent after an hour of waiting. We were discussing my situation, they said they don't have access to the luggage department and hung up. It was very unprofessional, I highly recommend choosing another airline.

They also have a bunch of hidden fees and charges that they try to slap on you at the last minute thinking that you have no other choice or to pay it or lose your flight. They'll have you running around the entire airport purposely going to every other airline but their own to purchase add-on that you were never told you needed to have so you do miss your flight.

    But walking over to DELTA was the best decision I could have ever made because I ended up saving just over $200 flying with them in Delta comfort class at that while receiving the best customer service from all of their employees.

    We had an extremely unnerving, stressful and unsatisfactory experience with Allegiant. We have flown with many airlines, and when a situation arises for someone to give up their seat for monetary compensation, there is never an issue. We were to fly out July 9, from Stewart International Airport on flight 2278 to Sanford, FL. The flight was overbooked. Therefore, the gate agent started by requesting 3 volunteers to be bumped for $200 CASH and a rebooked flight. No one offered including us. After a few minutes the gate agent announced the offer was now $400 DOLLARS and a rebooking. Again we did not offer nor did anyone else. A short time after, the gate agent announced an offer of $800 DOLLARS and a rebooking. This offer piqued our interest and the 3 members of our party volunteered.

    As we walked to the gate agent, other passengers commented to us they wish they could volunteer, but couldn’t…comments were overheard exclaiming “$800 dollars cash, that would be nice”. We arrived to the gate agent, who we later came to know was Rosemary ** the station manager. She was overwhelmed with the amount of people trying to get on the plane and asked us to hold tight and wait to “take care of us”. When the flight was all boarded with the gate doors closed and the plane pulling away, she commenced the process of arranging our compensation.

    To our shock and extreme disappointment, we soon received emails containing a link to only FLIGHT CREDITS, and not the monetary compensation we were expecting. She simply shrugged us off and said we misunderstood her and the only option was the $200 cash or the flight credits. We insisted that she call again and tell them we were told $800 DOLLARS and NOT FLIGHT CREDITS, however after getting off the phone, she told us take it or leave it, $200 in monetary compensation or the Flight credits, even telling us that no airline would give that much as compensation. This we know for a fact not to be true, as we have had previous experiences with other airlines (American, Delta, United, Jet blue) which have offered $400, $600 even up to $1200 in MONETARY COMPENSATION for giving up a seat.

    At this point, apparently the state trooper was called, however we were at no time violent, not swearing, not being belligerent or yelling. We were strongly defending our position for what we and all the other passengers around the gate clearly understood was offered, $800 DOLLARS per passenger for the 3 seats that were needed. We insisted that Ms. ** call again and tell the office we were not satisfied with the $200, she again stated we were wrong, and that we would never get more than the $200. We told her to call again and speak to a manager, which she finally did.

    The result was a $400 offer which we reluctantly accepted. There was an email that was supposed to come through, and she informed us just to leave and we would receive it within 15 minutes. Our trust in the airline had been clearly damaged, so we did not wish to leave until we received the email. She left us there telling us it would come through and that she was done. She walked away and left us with the state trooper to escort us out. This is how Allegiant repays their passengers who inconvenience themselves to allow the airline to carry on with the scheduled flight, give us less money and call the police to escort us away.

    The offer as was understood by all present at the gate was $800, now we were stuck in NY for 3 MORE DAYS until our rescheduled flight on Monday morning.

    We were somehow expected to make arrangements for accommodations, transportation and meals with the money received, not to mention that we would all be missing a 1/2 day of work on Monday morning upon returning to Florida. The whole way that this situation played out was unacceptable. Basically, we gave up our seats to accommodate a blunder on Allegiant’s behalf of overselling a flight, and we got stuck paying for it by not receiving the amount promised.

It was dropped at 9pm, which was the time of her flight from Indianapolis, and since she was a minor she could not fly. The agent took her phone and went through her emails to check for confirmation, which was never sent. They laughed when she walked away. I asked if they could hire someone to accompany her as the website says but the agent told me that they didn't do that. What a waste of time, money, and energy, emotions.

    Allegiant airlines gave me the worst customer service experience of my life and nearly ruined my vacation. Our flight was delayed, then canceled, and then we were told there would be no refunds. Our flight was delayed two hours when we arrived at the airport. When the plane still hadn’t even arrived at the new departure time 8:09 I went up and asked one of the workers if our flight was still coming. They said yes, that it was on its way and should be at the CVG airport at 8:45. Even though neither the app nor the tv at our new gate was updated I trusted that she knew what was going on.

    About ten minutes after I inquired about our flight it was taken off the tv at our gate and we didn’t receive any updates over the app. We assumed our gate had been moved again because it had already happened once. We waited for another twenty minutes until we heard another passenger on our flight walking down the aisle yelling that it had been canceled. As we were hearing this news from a PASSENGER that’s when one of the Allegiant workers FINALLY decided to announce it over the intercom that it was canceled. So we proceed to the service desk up front to get our flight rescheduled for the morning. We started getting helped and in the middle of helping us the lady goes to the back, grabs her stuff and leaves. Without saying a word to us she grabs her stuff and goes home IN THE MIDDLE OF ASSISTING US.

    Then we had to get back in line because nobody was helping us. The people in front of us are trying to figure out how to get to their destination, they weren’t being rude or anything, this lady comes out of the back, (I believe she may have been a manager) without knowing what was going on she starts yelling “Don’t get an attitude with me. I have no control over this.” NO ONE WAS EVEN SPEAKING TO HER!

    Then the kind gentleman (the only helpful worker Allegiant employed) finally had time to help us and all the flights next day were booked due to Allegiant being incompetent and having to cancel three flights to Florida. At this point we decided to just drive because we had already wasted five hours waiting on a plane and missed an entire day at our condo which we already paid for. So I asked if I could get a refund there or if I would have to call. The manager lady butts in and says “You don’t get a refund. You get a voucher for another flight with Allegiant”. I will NEVER fly Allegiant again. I could deal with the flight cancellations IF the customer service wasn’t terrible and there was some form of communication about what was going on with our flight. The best advice I could give is spend the extra money on a Delta ticket because they will actually get you where you paid to go.

    When I deplaned after flying Allegiant from Punta Gorda to Providence I sat at the gate in a wheelchair for assistance that never came. After waiting for over one half hour I finally made my way to baggage claim to find that someone had taken my bag. I tried to find someone from Allegiant and was assisted by a Southwest Air baggage attendant who advised me to go upstairs to the Allegiant ticket counter. There were two people there who were of no help. My daughter who had come to pick me up said that she saw my bag on the carousel and then it disappeared. She said that one very large bag (that was totally dissimilar to my bag) remained unclaimed and it was taken upstairs.

    When I tried to converse with the person who seemed to be in charge he was less than helpful and told me that Allegiant was not responsible that someone took my bag. I suggested that he call the person belonging to the bag that was left there and things just went downhill from there. After quite a wait I confronted this guy again and asked if he had called the person belonging to the remaining bag and he gave me a vague answer. I asked if the person had my bag and he didn't know, I asked when they were coming to get their bag and again he didn't know. I have to admit that at that point I was very angry and very frustrated. My opinion is that Allegiant does not run a good operation at PGD.

Additionally, it is obvious they don't clean their planes between flights. That's bad enough in a normal environment. But completely inexcusable as we deal with COVID.

I spent the night in the emergency room and was operated on the following day. Spent the night in hospital after operation. My flight left at 10:45 a.m. and arrived in FL at 1:15 p.m. I was supposed to pickup my rental car (Alamo) at 1:30pm. Obviously I did not make the flight nor was I able to pickup my weeklong rental car ($300+). I called Allegiant in the morning before my flight was to take off to cancel the flights and rental car. I spoke with an unkind representative who explained she would issue a voucher for flights but I would forfeit the $300+ for the weeklong car rental because I did not notify them 24 hrs in advance...

    When I broke my ankle the night before my flight at 9:00 p.m. it was already past the 24 hour deadline. Obviously I did not break my ankle intentionally! There was nothing the heartless agent could do. It wasn't like Alamo could not rent the vehicle sitting that time frame. So I lost $300+ because I broke my ankle after the 24 hr cancellation time frame. How is this right and how can a business like Allegiant and Alamo be so heartless.

He argued with me about everything. The final blow was when he told me too many spouses were taking advantage of their spouses service. Well a spouse does not get a permanent military ID card unless her husband or wife has served 20 to 30 years. As a spouse of a 30 year veteran whose husband served in Vietnam for a total of three years, Went on temporary duty for months at a time, got cancer from Agent Orange. Who do you think took care of our 4 children while he was away, took care of him from the cancer, and watched him die from Agent Orange. And I might add that he was drafted.

    You think I was a worthless human being, not deserving of any credit for his service. I can see that Allegiant has no allegiance or respect for our military and its families. I asked Sir Stefan what he thought of a woman traveling alone with her small children, while her husband was in Iraq. Does she deserve nothing? Again I can see none of Allegiant has ever served this country. Allegiant Air should be ashamed and I would recommend all military not fly them. They do not deserve your hard earned money.

    I am a retired combat wounded service member rated at 100% permanently disabled. I have flown with my service animal countless times, but this time my service animal was denied! I had the FAA Animal and Agriculture Form completed by my vet along with the service animal documentation from two military doctors. At check in, two hours prior to boarding, the ticketing agent denied us because we didn’t have an Allegiant form. Mind you the federal aviation form is way more in-depth and what is required by all the airlines. This was going to be my first birthday home in 12yrs, but thanks to their horrible service after providing every form requested, I was denied boarding. I would never recommend flying with allegiant if you are military or have a service animal.

    We are thrilled that Allegiant (someone) brought non-stop flights from our home to our favorite beach although, so far, they do not fly when most of us want to go to the beach, which is winter. I have, however, managed to fly on Allegiant two different trips to the beach. My first flight, I was leaning heavily on a walker for minimal walking, wearing a Tens machine and on strong pain meds 2 weeks prior to rather extensive spinal surgery.

    When I boarded the plane in a wheelchair, I was met by sweetly concerned attendants who recognized there was no way for me to negotiate the walkway all the way back to my assigned seat so kindly arranged a switch for me to the front. This was a happy, friendly crew on a new plane living in the lovely beach area where I was headed. I had no luggage as I was clearly unable to handle anything beyond my purse hung on the walker. I was traveling alone and had sent my things ahead with my husband who was driving. This crew arranged for a wheelchair to help me deplane. In spite of my condition and pain, this was the most pleasant flight I had ever experienced.

    When it was time to come home, the attitude of the Allegiant people in VPS was entirely different. I had flown into and out of VPS via American several times previously and thought it was a very nice, easy and accommodating airport. Not with Allegiant. Now I may not have looked like an aged, injured or helpless individual, but you cannot see a person's spinal condition nor many other conditions by sight. There, I could not get a wheelchair nor anyone to help me at any point. Naturally, I raised a lot of quizzical eyes as I struggled to use each chair back to crawl with my arms from chair to chair to reach my seat. But crew did not notice or just didn't care.

    When we arrived home, it was the same story. I just waited to let everyone else off before I struggled down the aisle so that I didn't make others wait on me. I like to never made it up the flybridge to the airport. Yet as I crept along, resting between steps, numerous crew members flew around me both ways without ever a query if I was alright or needed help or even an "excuse me".

    Jump forward a year after surgery and recuperation, my husband and I both made the flight, neither needing any help of any kind. I'm up and semi athletic again. We boarded with my new carry-on luggage by London Fog which is 3 inches shorter and has 3 inches less linear measurement than my old American Tourister which has been on most every major and some small carriers, and around the world several times. It still has only two wheels which indicates it's age and has been innumerable places. They are the same width. The way the pockets attach smaller than the rest of the bag makes the whole bag hold much less but once the pockets have been used, they pooch out making the bag slightly fatter.

    This new bag is as I said actually holds quite a bit less and has given me no trouble on large and small flights to and from overseas as well as TO VPS. Heaven forbid, I put shoes in the shoe pocket on that trip. No-one mentioned a problem with this smaller bag until I went to board the flight home from VPS. We paid for the baggage, both checked and carryon when we bought our tickets. But the woman at the VPS counter insisted my bag go in the same box that my old larger bag fit into easily. Because shoes made the pocket pooch, she made me check the bag and pay the baggage fee AGAIN. NO I could not then move the offending shoes and NO, she would not credit the amount already paid. For the reader who might not know, the fee at the desk is much higher than the fee paid at purchase of ticket. Therefore, it is much to their advantage to charge you AGAIN and at the higher rate!!

    Since then, friends have made the same trip. Lo and behold, their bags, which flew Allegiant TO VPS just fine, suddenly did not meet standards and were (over) charged AGAIN. This suggests a pattern and an intentional trap to make extra money off their patrons...holding people hostage to their baggage practices.

    I arrived at airport at 8pm on Thursday for a 938pm flight. At 925pm I was told incoming flight was delayed and we were now delayed until 1015pm. No further info was given until the incoming flight arrived at 1038pm when we were told we would leave at 1115pm. At 11pm we were told flight delayed until 12am with no explanation. At 11:50pm were told flight was cancelled. A maintenance guy walked by us and told there were mechanical issues. No info about reason for cancellation was given by ticket agents. When someone complained one of the Allegiant employees said, "It's not that bad. It's just another day". Really? We have been sitting in an airport for almost 4 hours with basically no info and continuous changes in flight departure times and someone has the nerve to say that?

    Our flight was rescheduled for 12noon the next day and we're told to go home as we could not stay at airport overnight. Waiting for a ride to take us home for the night we get another Allegiant text changing flight to 1pm the next day. We finally left Concord after 1pm on Friday. On return flight we were to leave on Sunday at 6pm and after arriving at airport it was delayed until 6:30 and then again until 7:45. We finally arrived back in Concord after 10pm. When I called Allegiant Customer Care and spoke with Saban, I was apologized to and then told they could do nothing about it. Not even a partial voucher for inconvenience and good faith for 3 travelers who had never flown Allegiant before and will NEVER fly again. DO NOT FLY WITH THE AIRLINE!!!!

    I recently booked a flight with Allegiant. I had a $50 voucher from a previous flight where they had us sit in an airport for 9 hours! I paid for the current flight with that small voucher and a lot more money. Then I decided to cancel our checked bags. I was told I would get a credit but never got it. Turns out if you use any part of a voucher to pay for a flight, they will never refund you any of the trip. So, I added an extra $60 to my flight for nothing. I don't get a refund and I don't get to check my bags. This is completely crooked. I wouldn't fly this airline again for anything. It is NOT worth it.

    Am a dialysis patient who has traveled with Allegiant many times since moving to Florida several years ago. My last flight was so troubling. I fly with a dialysis machine (a life sustaining medical device) that weighs approximately 90 pounds. I always call the airline and prepare them for this situation, but upon flying home from LCK I was charged a fee of $75.00 for the transport of my medical device. I not only have a problem with that but the "agent" who was to assist me was very out of line. When I tried to explain to her that a medical device should not be charged, she only disputed loudly that it was "overweight and inappropriately packed". Mind you this was not only a trip back from my destination Allegiant took me to but the first time I have ever been demanded to pay for transport my medical equipment. It is carried in the box it was delivered to me in and has handles.

    All information about the machine is on the outside and it is the only way I can safely travel with it. As we disagreed, she became louder and more disrespectful. I asked her name and she said "Adina". I asked to please spell that and if I could have her employee number and she replied she could not spell it and no I could not have any associate number. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she stated she was the highest supervisor available. I could not believe this was how her staff was watching her "work". I have never been more embarrassed, humiliated and disrespected in my life. My mom, who was traveling with me, asked her to calm down and lower her voice, Adina’s' response was "well she started it so I can talk to her however I want." She was NOT going to let me on my flight without the fee.

    Never ever have I been charged a fee and made to feel like such a burden as a consumer. There was a crowd of employees and other travelers looking on leaving me to feel like she was divulging my health information, (HIPPA) I try to be so vigilant in traveling because I know this is not an everyday situation, but to be treated the way I was was very uncalled for. I did come home and contact the FAA about the situation. as of today, no reply.

    I got to the front desk to check in my bags to receive my military discount an hour and a half before my flight. No one ever came to the counter. Me and 8 other people all missed the flight because of needed to check a bag. Sat on the customer service line for over a hour trying to get assistance. Once a representative came to the line he then proceeded to tell me per his records he show I am the only person that missed the flight. I then asked him to repeat his self for the other people standing here who also missed boarding the same flight. Then and only then did a manager come to the phone and tell me the best she can do is book me for the next flight which is 3 days away AT THE PRICE OF $75. So not only did they cause me to miss my flight but also charged me for another one. The staff was so unprofessional and didn’t care. Everyone had to purchase new flights. I will never book this airline again.

    I have been in customer service for over a decade. I have gone to work after loss, heartbreak, exhaustion, the list goes on and I have never felt that it was acceptable in any way to treat customers the way I was repeatedly treated by Allegiant. I don't believe in "the customer is always right," but I do believe that when you are representing your place of work that that should be handled with absolute professionalism. Both Sondra and Teresa, at the Mesa Gateway Airport, were less than willing to even hear out what I was there for before stating "they didn't handle that" or "our office is closed." I've gained valuable insight into their companies work culture and unfortunately it reeks of hostility and that if they can get away with not helping, then they won't help. So disappointed in the lack of humanity behind allegiant after this!

    My mother flew from Provo to Mesa, where we discovered that her bag did not make it and that there was no one on duty in the airport to help with the matter. After walking to the ticketing counter, which is accessed from a separate entrance, we were told VERY rudely by the allegiant agents that they "can't help us"... That's it.

    Several phone calls, emails, forms, and online chat later someone called the following day where we had arranged for her bag to be placed behind the ticketing counter where I could pick it up between 1-6pm. I arrive only to be told by the lady at the counter that she knew nothing about the missing bag that was suppose to be there. I explain the situation to the manager, Teresa, who says she doesn't know anything about a bag and that that is not something they handle. I explain that that is not the information we were told and they should have the bag specifically behind the "ticketing counter" because the baggage office was closed. She said it's "unlikely" and that I need to wait a few minutes while she dealt with something else.

    I wait patiently for her to come back and then all she asks is for my "contact information," to which I responded "my contact information for what?" She proceeded to tell me she would take it down and get back to me later. I told her that in no way was I leaving until she did some further investigation into the fact that the bag should be there, since I had driven all the way to the airport based on what we were told. Teresa told me that she didn't deserve to be spoken to like this and that she was done. I called my mother to see if we could straighten this out when Teresa asked me to step aside rudely so she could help someone else, to which I responded that I wouldn't since I was waiting to talk to someone who could help. She told me she would be happy to call security to escort me out, to which I asked her name and she refused to give it to me.

    I tried yet again to explain where my frustration was stemming from, to which she condescendingly told me now that I was speaking more reasonably she would help me, where I wasn't being any different than before. She then informed that she actually had received a call from BCO that they would be running a bag over for them to hold onto until someone arrived, but no one had. Why someone would either purposefully go out of their way to give poor customer service or not comprehend that I was that person here to pick up the bag is BEYOND me.

    Sondra at the BCO office was just as rude when I drove over there to pick up the bag that apparently she was suppose to have dropped off hours earlier but was "too busy," only to tell me they were closed and I could wait as she slowly walked to the restroom with no further explanation. When she finally returned she also acted like she wasn't sure what I was talking about, even though she was the exact person my mother had talked to twice, before going into the office and getting the bag in question. I'll happily pay more to fly with an airline who cares.

Their message is a joke a little longer wait times than usual but someone will be with me shortly. I honestly don't think they have any live reps working. It's terrible service to have a customer waiting so long with no respond. My time is just as valuable as theirs. Frustrated.

    I am furious!! Our return flight from Orlando to Columbus was bumped forward from 1:55 pm to 1:22 pm, which caused us to miss our flight and incur $225 extra dollars to get another flight. The only notification I got was to my Yahoo e-mail, the day before the flight, which being in Florida I had no access to my e-mail so I had no idea. No text message or call came from allegiant to notify me and my family of this change! We then had to fly into an airport that was 2 1/2 hours away from our original airport, leaving us without a vehicle and having to have someone come and give us a ride. What an absolute cluster when a text or call could have prevented it all... And on top of that, getting charged $225 extra dollars!! This is not acceptable and a very poor way of doing business. We most always fly allegiant but due to the extra cost, time and horrible inconvenience, this will deter me from flying allegiant again!!!
