Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 55 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Travelers frequently complained about extremely poor customer service, excessively long phone hold times, and completely unhelpful staff members who offered no real solutions. Passengers also faced frustrating, unpredictable flight delays and unexpected, costly extra charges for necessary carry-on bags and prior seat selections. The minority of people were satisfied with friendly staff members who provided genuinely kind and helpful assistance throughout their travel journey. Some customers also deeply appreciated occasional complimentary seating upgrades, pleasant inflight encounters, or remarkably smooth experiences with specific employees at the terminal.

Lost iPad. They never looked for it

Confirmation number H3CSSI
I lost my iPad on the plane. I submitted a ticket to find it back in July when I realized I didn’t have it. On my way home I stopped at the Allegiant counter and no one was there. I havent received any email saying you’re trying to look for it. I called back around August to find out what’s going on. This is a $2000 iPad. I had to buy a new one because I’m in school. I called down at the Allegiant lost and found in Portland and no one ever answered. I was at a dead end. Then last week, Portland donated it to an electronic place that fixes electronics and someone turned it on and I went through many channels to get it back. I will never ever fly with Allegiant and I will tell everyone I know what happened and how you did care about my lost item that meant so much to me. I’m in nursing school and needed this. I spent another $2000 for a new one. I think management should know how Portland handled this and never looked to see if someone filled a ticket. The electronic place stole my Magic Keyboard Which cost $330 and I blame you!! So now I’m out $2300 all because no one cared to see if this was a lost item. No one turned it on to see if there was a phone number or message on the screen. I hope you don’t treat people the way you treated my item, tossed in a box somewhere!!!

Plane from hell

We got on the plane at 6:50 am…we were set to land at 10:23 am. It is now 1:20 pm and we have all been denied refunds. The never offered us food or drinks during this time. Absolutely horrid flight. We had to divert to a different airport so we can refuel, then we landed at our original airport and waited for an hour on the tarmac. I will never be flying with this airline again.

Today allegiance denied me from getting on the plane with my service animal
who is registered
I’m disabled. I have heart failure,
Eight months ago I had open heart surgery to replace all of my heart valves
I have an artificial mitral valve.
I have an artificial aortic valve
and a cap on my third heart valve
. I continue to have ongoing heart problems
When I return from this trip I will be having another heart surgery for atrial fibrillation. Abalation
My service dog is so helpful
because if I fall out, She will alert me and others.
I was never notified I was told when I arrive there
Being told I didn’t fill out the
so I I told them let’s fix it I can give you all the information that you need. I have my medical records with me, etc. or let me redo the application whatever they need me to do
I was told
there’s no fixing it
Nothing can be done and also you could never reapply again once you’re denied.

I was discriminated against today
maybe I was judged on how I looked
I wasn’t treated with an ounce respect
It wasa horribleexperience. It took a toll on me today and my heart.
And they did not even attempt to try to help me

One star is generous

One star is generous. Absolute chaos and blatant money grab.
This was one of the most frustrating airport experiences I’ve ever had, entirely due to Allegiant’s incompetence and inconsistent rules.
My wife and I were not flying. We were escorting our children to the gate so they could fly to Florida to see their grandparents. The kids had only two small carry-on bags. We explained this clearly at check-in. Allegiant staff waved us through and told us everything was set.
It was not.
After waiting in the TSA line, we were told our paper copies of our Real IDs “weren’t acceptable” and that we had to pay an extra $90 just to escort our kids. This felt like a pure cash grab, not a security measure. We left the line, paid the fee, then waited another 30 minutes.
Then TSA informed us we needed boarding passes even though we were not flying. Why wasn’t this mentioned the first time Allegiant waved us through? Why weren’t passes issued then?
So we exited TSA again, waited in the long Allegiant check-in line again, only to be told we could have one gate pass for two parents and multiple children.
At this point my daughter was crying, I had paid extra money for access I wasn’t allowed to use, and no one at Allegiant took responsibility for the misinformation they provided at every step.
This entire situation was caused by:
• Poor staff training
• Inconsistent policies
• A barely functional app
• Nickel-and-diming customers at every turn
If Allegiant looks cheaper, understand why. You will pay for it in stress, wasted time, and frustration and possibly your kids’ tears.
Spend the extra money on literally any other airline. There’s a reason Allegiant is cheaper, and this is it.

My service dog was denied & ironically its so I can go to see Dr's so I can get surgery & maybe not need my dog one day.

I was told my service animal couldn't travel as such & needed to come on as a pet. I explained shes in service at all times, especially on flights & wouldn't be able to perform her services in a bag. I have flown on major airlines with her with no problems, same form verified. I went to the extent of going to speak with my trainers (I was denied because of verification from trainers) & they never got a call for my dog at all. No such call for verification came in to them. I choose to travel with direct flights because my body is riddled with tumors and if I could avoid travel all together I would but I'm going for Dr's appointments to help me. Such a shame and heartache that I have so much on my plate to add this to the list. Ironically, if my surgery is possible & a success, I might not need a service dog. 🤦‍♀️💔

I understand weather delays but when you cannot reach an airline through any measure to get an update, it says volumes. When you call the cs number it says there is a current wait time of “at least 2 hours”. Does that meant 27 hours? 96 hours? Who knows bc you’ll never hear from them… ever. They have live chat- crickets. Email- zilch. Social media- too busy bragging about buying Sun Country. People foolish enough to buy tickets need to actually travel on a plane. Daughter and grandchild stranded by allegiant and with zero updates we have to buy a flight on a diff carrier bc allegiant does not work with other airlines. Only airline worse than this one is Spirit.

Zero stars would be a better option

Too bad you have to leave a star to write a review. Zero should be my option for Allegiant. They just cancelled a flight from Las Vegas to Bellingham for "weather". Not true. All other airlines in this airport continue to fly to Bellingham as we speak, weather apps and my wife on the ground say weather is beautiful, clear and calm in Bellingham, as it is here in Las Vegas. They're calling it a weather delay to avoid providing rooms and meals for all these displaced passengers. If it's "mechanical" they have to take care of people but if it's "weather" they're off the hook. I understand things go wrong, and I don't want to get back on a plane with a mechanical problem. But Allegiant is being dishonest and unprofessional to avoid their obligations and responsibilities. Furthermore, there is no Allegiant customer service or indeed any Allegiant presence of any kind in this airport. Who even maintains these planes? The people at the gate say they don't even work for Allegiant so there's nothing they can do for anyone. It's understandable that under these circumstances the Allegiant planes would be in a dangerous state of disrepair that requires grounding, and the company would be failing financially to the point they couldn't meet their obligation to their customers. I must also add that this is a one way flight home that cost me almost 3 times as much as the Delta flight that got me here. And Delta was by far a more pleasant experience. I've been cancelled on Delta too, but Delta always stepped up and did things right. Not Allegiant. As the flight attendants will tell you, "you have choices when you fly." I suggest choosing someone besides Allegiant. I think they've become too expensive, dishonest and unreliable.

Only choose them if you have no other options

The ONLY reason why we use this airline is because of their pet policy (2 small pets per carrier per person). Aside from that, everything about this airline is crap.

Despite it not being written in their policy, I’ve had multiple attendants approach me and my husband to move to different seats because we have dogs and can’t sit next to each other. Nowhere on their site does it say that.

Their boarding gate guy who has some sort of power tripping authority issue, constantly harasses us to put our dogs back in the carrier when we’re just giving them a quick sip of water since it’s a long traveling day. He never gives that kind of treatment to other people with dogs who literally let their dogs loose by the gate. My husband is white and I’m Chinese, could it be a racial thing?

I’ve been harassed about paying for my carry on even though I already did and showed my receipt of payment and boarding pass.

We were also told to pay for EACH dog in our carrier when their policy states that it’s payment PER CARRIER.

Majority of their staffs are rude, obnoxious and power tripping. They also don’t have their own airlines rules memorized. I’m told something different each time.

They (not sure if Allegiant or TSA) cut my lock and went through my checked bag without leaving any explanation to why my suitcase needed to be ransacked.

Avoid at all costs

I booked a car rental through Allegiant and canceled well within their 24-hour grace period — something their own representative confirmed during a recorded call. Despite this, Allegiant refused to issue a refund of $706.15 and instead insisted on providing a voucher I will never use.

To make matters worse, a representative named Omar from customer support refused to provide a direct contact email for the company when I requested to escalate the matter. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable for any legitimate business.

Their so-called “terms and conditions” do not override federal consumer protection laws or the Fair Credit Billing Act, which clearly protects customers from being charged for services that were canceled or not rendered. Allegiant’s refusal to process a proper refund despite acknowledging my timely cancellation speaks volumes about their business ethics.

I have already contacted my credit card provider and submitted full documentation of the cancellation. A formal chargeback will proceed if the refund is not issued promptly.

If you are considering booking anything through Allegiant, I strongly recommend avoiding them altogether. Book directly with the car rental provider — in my case, Enterprise — where prices are lower and refund policies are honored without resistance.

This experience has completely eroded my trust in Allegiant’s integrity and customer care.

I’m out Allegiant.

I started flying Allegiant Air a couple years ago as they had some direct flights to my destinations. After about 10 flights, I am done with Allegiant. The charges for everything (ie water, carry on luggage, etc) are one thing. But the delays and cancellations have me wondering how they stay in business. I don’t think I have had one flight that didn’t have some issue. The strain that puts on everyone from flight attendants, ticket agents and passengers is too much. I’m out Allegiant. Employees should consider looking elsewhere for a better job. Life is too short to have to deal with this poor or lack of management. If the passenger experience is this bad, I can only imagine how the behind the scenes practices are.

If I could give them no stars

If I could give them no stars, I would. This company is a joke. The flight attendants are lazy and rude. The flights are always delayed, the pilots never show up, the flight attendants steal anything you accidentally leave behind. Their customer service is the worst.

Awful awful experience with this…

Awful awful experience with this company that clearly offers lower prices to be able to scam you in every way they can after. My wife and 10 month old baby who can’t even walk just got denied on a flight due to them not believing my baby was under 24 months! My grandmother passed away, my wife and baby were in Destin for vacation, I flies up to be with family and go to funeral and bought my wife and baby a ticket from Destin. They are now there and not able to come to funeral because Mike the manager and Michelle were trying to make them pay a full price 250 bucks for an adult seat she couldn’t even sit in! Scammers, heartless people at the desk, and unfortunately they are doing what they were taught to do by this horrendous airline. Pay the extra money get a great experience with a real airline please.

Frustrating and Inconsistent Infant Policy and awful customer service – Families Beware

My family and I recently flew round-trip with Allegiant from Norfolk (ORF) to Cincinnati (CVG), and it was one of the most frustrating travel experiences we’ve had—with a 10-month-old and a 4-year-old in tow.

We received our booking confirmation on May 8th, which clearly listed our baby as “Infant on Lap.” Our outbound flight was on June 16th. At check-in, we noticed that "Infant on Lap" was missing from the boarding pass. We brought it up immediately to the agent, who assured us everything was fine and we were “good to go.” But once onboard, the flight crew grilled us in front of other passengers, saying the baby wasn't in the system. We were confused, embarrassed, and delayed—despite doing everything by the book.

Our return flight on June 23rd was worse. Allegiant staff confirmed our daughter had flown with us, yet refused to let her board unless we either showed her birth certificate (which was never requested before) or bought a full-price ticket. This policy makes no sense—and the contradiction was never explained.

I submitted a formal complaint on June 25, got no response, followed up by phone on July 9, and was treated disrespectfully by a rude call center agent who ended the call mid-conversation. After a second written follow-up, I received a generic response on July 15 denying a refund and failing to acknowledge their internal failures.

We’ve been regular Allegiant customers, but after how we were treated—and the complete lack of accountability—we are extremely hesitant to ever fly with them again. If you're flying with children, especially infants, be warned: Allegiant’s policies are inconsistently enforced, poorly communicated, and you will bear the burden for their mistakes.

Terrible

Hello, my wife and i have been flying Allegiant for around 5 years to see my brother in Myrtle beach, SC.
This past week, on June 27, we had a flight to go out of Albany NY. now, i understand that the flight had to be cancelled due to weather, that i appreciate. we all were told to exit plane and that if we would like to we would need to book another flight next day. we did and that was perfect. So we arrived at my brothers June 28 and i put my phone away at his place because im on vacation. on July 1 i had a phone call and i noticed that i had a credit from Allegiant for the whole flight i purchased. they cancelled my return flight!!!. why?!!! so i had to rebook a return flight for July 7. same flight mind you. had to purchase tickets for my wife and i . Additional cost. the net of the refund and the tickets i had to purchase put me $400 in the hole. My big beef here is why did they cancel the return flight 6 days ahead????? customer service was unhelpful saying that i must have cancelled it. why would i????

Booting a veteran on memorial day

I'm a veteran and was on my way back to Wisconsin for Memorial Day weekend. For a veteran's Meetup. I have a service dog for a heart condition. In any case they randomly denied my flight now this is uniquely interesting. Because there was three ways she was qualified to go they have a program called honor flights for veterans which she's qualified to go as just a animal in which no paperwork is required and if she can just accompany me. But instead the flight was delayed and they made me wait until everybody was there and then said I was no longer allowed to fly but we did until we were boarding until they booted me off the flight. It was incredibly unprofessional a lot of the people that were waiting with me we're visibly upset actually even more so than myself and we're absolutely disgusted with the airline. But that's what you expect from Allegiant Airlines. They come up with some random thing as to why my service dog couldn't fly yet every other dog can fly that is not service dog or service dog related. Just a note all the paperwork was filed previously they did not notify me 10 days in advance as required by regulation and they just skipped all practical regulations and their own policy and just pretty much told me to pack sand. But they did it very publicly and now it's on all the veteran channels

Horrible rude flight attendant. when ordering and paying extra for seats with leg room buyer beware. Dont pay extra for exit row we are in one now and it’s more cramped than a regular seat even though we specified exit row. I have a sprained foot and the exit row with more leg room is empty but they would not let us move. Zero
