Allegiant Air

✅ Trip Verified | Normally with Allegiant we pay the upcharge for the extra legroom seats, but due to a recent Covid exposure we had to modify our travel dates and there were no extra legroom seats available. So we got stuck in standard seats, my wife in a window seat and me in an aisle. My wife is 6 feet tall with a 32 inch inseam, and I'm 6 foot 2 with a 30 inch inseam. The legroom was miserable. I can't imagine anyone with an even longer leg length shoe-horning into these seats. Hard to believe the FAA permits such small spacing, or that people will loyally fly in such seats. In future I shall only book extra legroom seats with Allegiant - or will fly other airlines. Otherwise I have no problem with Allegiant's business model and approach. But this is a showstopper for us.

✅ Trip Verified | I paid for exit row seating (14D). Thus the leg room was great. The fact that the seat has no recline and there is practically no padding in the seat made the little over two hour flight uncomfortable. Arm rests are narrow and can be made flush with the seat thus the width of the seat seams greater then other airlines flying the A32x series aircraft. By the time I paid for extras like seats, 1 bag (plus a surprise overweight charge of $50 for 1.5lbs over their ridiculous 40lb limit), priority boarding etc the date wasn’t much cheaper then DL. Only benefit was nonstop flight. I won’t fly with them again because of the seat and the $50 overweight fee and would recommend others to fly legacy.

✅ Trip Verified | 19A is the window seat on the left side of the plane. It is tight because of the airplane body "rib" between the windows. It lines directly up on your shoulder greatly reducing seat room. However, ticket price still wins out. Pay to pick your seat. Just pick 18A or another shoulder friendly seat.

Not Verified | I know Allegiant Airlines is a low cost carrier, but I thought they had some pride in their service! I flew to NYC from AVL last week, and made my reservations over 3 weeks before. I signed up for 2 seats, for my wife and me, in the extended seats because I am suffering from Spinal Sciatica, and need the extra leg room. The seats were not extra leg room, and in fact my knees were right at the seat in front of me. I asked the steward about that, and he told me that they changed planes, and now only the first row is extra leg room. Did Allegiant tell me about this, or refund my charges, no! I had to suffer on both flights! Will I fly Allegiant again, good question. I am doubtful, mainly because I answered their request for “How was your flight” email with my comments, and received no reply at all 2 weeks later!

✅ Verified Review | I sat in seat 7A on a two and a half hour flight from Orlando to Harrisburg - the legroom was good, however that's because I paid extra for the seat. I'm 6'2", so the extra four inches of legroom that you get with a Comfort+ seat was well worth the price for me. The seats themselves offer very little padding, have no recline, and have extremely small and flimsy armrests - however, you get what you pay for, and being that said I only paid around $120 for the trip after selecting my seat and paying for a carry on bag... So I can't complain too much.

✅ Verified Review | Excellent Seat Comfort. I am 6' 6" and this seat was comfortable, with plenty of room. It was our first time on Allegiant and we're instant fans! The "seat pitch" on a standard economy seat is quite decent - my inseam is 36" and so normally my knees will brush the seat in front of me. Not so with Allegiant. This is a comfortable seat indeed!

✅ Verified Review | Terribly obnoxious check in and seat assignment process. You can check in 24 hours in advance. I did so in hopes of getting seats next to each other while traveling with my wife. Clearly they are trying to squeeze out the last $20. They assigned us seats on the aisle in two different rows that had no seat available next to them. There were plenty of seats available in other rows next to each other but their algorithm clearly tries to screw a couple traveling together by trying to make them both change their seats when the algorithm could easily assign at that time two seats together.

These have to be the most uncomfortable seats I have ever had the displeasure of sitting on for three hours. Paid for more leg room which was nice but my rear end hurt so bad from the lack of padding on the seat and no ability to recline at all. Was like sitting on a metal folding chair with thin vinyl cushioning.

I am 6'0 and sat somewhat comfortable for 5 hours from Los Angeles to Hawaii. However, the seats do not recline, so you need to learn to sleep upright. The aircraft walls are very cold, so if you have a window seat, bring a sweater or jacket.
