"They know absolutely nothing"
M Keale (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | This was to be my first flight on this airline. I fly often and was reluctant but thought I would give it a try. I booked a Thurs 2/20 trip from Concord to St Pete, FL. It was snowing that night so they had a delay to de ice the plane. The guy in the de icer truck ran into the plane. We had to return to the terminal. They have no mechanics at the airport so it took 1.5 hrs for one to arrive to inspect the damage. What were our options we wanted to know. How long would it take to inspect? Would they have another plane come and get us? Was there another flight the next day? They said "we have nothing to tell you, we are waiting on corporate but if you leave the terminal you forfeit your ticket". After 2 hrs they said there was another flight next day but there was only 28 spots available. The ticket counter was outside of security. There was a huge line. Did they provide food and drinks? No. However they lied to the local TV channel and said they did provide as well as give meal vouchers. At 9pm they announced last call at the concession. At 10pm they closed the TSA security checkpoint so if you went out to change your flight and waited in line for 2hrs you couldnt get back into the terminal. I gave up and left the terminal and went home at 10:30 expecting to eat the cost. I did have my wife call customer service to try and get me rebooked for the following night. She got through after a 1:20 minute hold time. They did refund the ticket. I was told the flight arrived in St Pete at 2 AM All the staff at the customer service, gate people, and guys working on the runway are all kids, 18-22 area. They know absolutely nothing and really dont care. Remember, if you fly this airline there are only 2 flight a week per route so if it gets cancelled you are stuck

"service is mediocre at best"
Josh Sallee (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Northwest Arkansas to Sanford . I have flown Allegiant on several different occasions and more times than not the fights are delayed. The current flight I’m waiting on now has changed from 8:30 PM now to depart at 11 PM. One would think I would learn by now that there is a reason this airline has flights for so cheap. The service is mediocre at best, the flights are ok when you finally get to get on them, and the baggage charges are high. I think it’s about time I upgrade to a better airline.

"superb crew and good communication"
W Gill (United States)
Not Verified | Concord to Orlando Sanford. Excellent flight with superb crew and good communication from the cockpit as well. Makes a passenger feel better when the Captain or First Officer chimes in during the trip.

"more and more disappointed"
M Garnham (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Fort Lauderdale to Norfolk. I am growing more and more disappointed and frustrated with this airline after each flight. The lack of timeliness has gone from bad to worse! To think it’s not that cheaply priced when you add all the extras up. I used to recommend this airline with hopes it would be a good experience and not represent the horrible experiences it has created for myself and my family thus far. Customer service is at the bottom of their priorities which is even sadder because that should be done well and free in a client service industry.

"poor excuse for an airline"
Donnette Andersen (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | St Pete Clearwater to Indianapolis, they really need better management or coordinator. My flight today was set for 9:27 departure. Delayed. They said it was weather, but I fly small planes and it could have landed just like the plane that came in a few minutes later. Rerouted to Orlando. It's now 11:30, the plane was only supposed to be gone an hour but 3 hours later. They tell everyone it's still in Orlando. Can you not do better than this. I could have gone to Tampa with delta and could have been there by now. Poor excuse for an airline.

"everything like pulling teeth"
C Roe (United States)
Not Verified | Fort Lauderdale to Concord. This airline is easily the worst of the worst. To get a hold of an actual human being is next to impossible. They make reservations easy (the part they make money) and then everything else is like pulling teeth. This airline, for full clarity, did one good round trip and then this one happened. I thought I found a winner until I had an issue. Then I get no information outside of “your flight has been delayed”. You can’t even speak to a real person because they are so cheap that the ticket agents double as boarding agents. This airline has two planes that leave this airport a day. How on earth they have a mechanical or otherwise delay is beyond me. I can guarantee that the only thing keeps these planes in the air is the FAA because the amount of dollar stretching is ridiculous. I’ve personally seen this airline make people miss cruises, hold people hostage in an airport (because the tiny airport TSA checkpoint closed so you couldn’t leave and come back), and make you wait over an hour on hold to talk to an actual person. I tried to allow them to reimburse me for my day lost on my trip but the fact that each and every time they screw something up to me is unacceptable. I hope this company gets the exposure they deserve - that they are run by people who care more about profits than passengers. The flight crew has been nice so it’s clearly not the ground staff. This is a corporate issue. If the people that owned this airline had to fly this way I guarantee someone would be fired. Spend the extra hundred or two dollars and fly an airline that knows how to communicate and fly on time.

"ruined due to cancelled flight"
B Webb (United States)
Not Verified | Our trip to FL and Universal Resort Orlando was ruined due to cancelled flight and the inability of Allegiant to get our Universal resort hotel rebooked to match offered flights! There was nothing comparable available! Do not book your hotel thru Allegiant, there is no recourse from the hotel to help with rebooking! Also be aware that Allegiant only offers a flight on selected days, so if there is a problem, you are out of luck. Thank God we didn’t have children who would have been so upset. Don’t plan an important vacation with Allegiant unless you have a lot of flexibility.

"Outrageous behavior"
S Vetter (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Greenville to Ft Lauderdale. Outrageous behavior by Allegiant staff. Flight G41759 February 7. Approached counter and requested boarding pass because one could not be obtained from kiwi.com. The counter woman told me that I would have to pay for my boarding pass. I ask her why I would pay for a boarding pass. She printed the ticket and in a condescending voice stated "Well since you're a beginner traveler (truth: I'll be 62 in a few days and am a retired attorney and research librarian and have traveled by air for 50 years without incident) you won't have to pay the $5.00" I failed to reply, took the ticket and walked on.

"Everything was better than expected"
M Edwards (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | I very rarely leave reviews but after seeing all the awful ones for Allegiant I felt I should post about my good experience. I absolutely hate flying and am very picky about the airline, but my husband and I took a short flight from Provo, UT to Mesa, AZ on Allegiant and the experience was great. Planes were on time, no issues whatsoever, flight attendants were very kind, and they have such nice perks for military and dependents. Everything was better than expected. Thank you!

"This was my worst travel"
Diane Young (United States)
Not Verified | Stockton to Las Vegas with Allegiant Air. Was charged $50 each way for a small carry on. One attendant would say it’s ok, another says no I have to pay $50. and they were rude - horrible service. They should just say no carry on whatsoever. Do the math and tack $100 to your flight ticket and see if it’s better to use Southwest or another airline. We were crammed in small seats with tickets costing more than SW. This was my worst travel.
