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.

I asked if I could use the bathroom…

I asked if I could use the bathroom right after I was seated, while the door was still open. I was told no. I have a medical condition that causes me to not be able to hold it for long periods of time. I needed to pee I was seated in the second row of the plane.. 2.5 second walk to the bathroom 45 seconds needed to handle business anther 2.5 seconds to my seat after business was done.. totaling 50 seconds.. ( yeah I’d didn’t wash my hands for the sake of everyone on the plane, who wanted to take off, but I did bring and use hand sanitizer after I seated again) I paid for premium seating… after taxing the run way for 40 MIN I couldn’t hold it anymore and I got up to use the bathroom. I timed it.. 46 seconds from the time I stood up to the time I was seated again.. beat expectations by 4 seconds… quick time!! The flight attendant decided to get on the intercoms and tell the whole plane it was my fault we weren’t taking off.. even though we have been sitting on the runway at the time for almost 40 min. And I needed less than a min. I made sure to stand up and tell the whole plane I asked before the door was closed. This is how they treat the premium paying passengers .. don’t fly with this trashy outfit.. you probably get treated better on spirit. We are the paying customers! With out us you don’t fly! Every airline needs to figure these things out. People need to speech out more about there experiences flying cause the industry as a whole in the United States is trash.

Rescheduled Flight Times & Not Enough Flights

Last October (2024) Allegiant rescheduled our flight for 4 hours later, and we ended up missing our entire event in Florida because of that. Now, looking ahead to flying again this October 25th (2025) there is only one flight back from Punta to Flint at 6:00PM. The only flight. Normally there are 2-3 per day. For the first time in years, I plan to travel to Florida on Delta. It's cheaper to go into Ft. Myers, and there are 3-4 flights to choose from. I am not sitting around all day waiting for one evening flight out. That sounds like trouble.

Avoid Allegiant airlines - disrespectful behavior to consumers

I went to the FLL airport to board my Allegiant flight #581, initially scheduled for 6:50 PM.

The flight was delayed, and finally, at 10:30 PM, we were informed by the staff at gate C7 that the flight was cancelled. During this time, the workers at the counter were laughing and making jokes among themselves, while passengers like me waited for six hours in discomfort. I found this extremely disrespectful.

I asked for information multiple times, but the response was always to wait, followed by sarcastic and very rude behavior.

At 10:30 PM, an Allegiant employee announced over the speaker that the luggage would be delivered at a certain carousel. Several customers asked about the recovery plan and any support from the company. After 15 minutes, she returned in a very rude manner, saying that the company would give $200 and we could do whatever we wanted with the money. The new flight is scheduled for 11:00 AM the next day. This is a total lack of support, empathy, and respect for customers.

I would give less than one star if I could. My husband and I traveled and thought the airline would honor their policy of not charging a luggage fee for veterans. They did not. This is the second time the airline employees have refused to honor this policy.

Airline ticket and Rental bundle - DON'T DO IT!

We bundled a flight and rental car deal between Allegiant and Alamo for 6 days. When we took the rental out at Alamo, we told them we may return it early and were told it was not a problem. We returned the car after only 3 days and Allegiant refused to return the unused 3 days of rental - we lost $212. Allegiant is fine with taking money for services they did not render.

BUYER BEWARE - DON'T BUNDLE AIRLINE TICKET AND RENTAL WITH ALLEGIANT

Extremely Disappointing Experience with…

Extremely Disappointing Experience with Luggage and Customer Service

My family and I recently had a very disappointing experience flying with Allegiant Air. We were traveling with our baby, and despite paying extra to check in our baggage, car seat, and stroller, Allegiant lost both the car seat and stroller. Our troubles started even before we boarded the plane at Austin South Gate. At security, they insisted on opening all of our baby’s ready-to-feed formula milk. Despite informing them that the formula would spoil once opened, they were completely uncooperative. While one staff member seemed to understand, a very rude lady insisted on opening every bottle, leaving us with spoiled milk that we had no choice but to throw away.

Once we arrived at CVG airport, things only got worse. Our stroller and car seat were nowhere to be found at baggage claim or the oversized baggage area. We waited for hours, but no Allegiant staff showed up to help. To make matters worse, we couldn’t get a ride home because Uber refused to take us without a car seat for our baby.

Trying to contact Allegiant’s customer service has been a nightmare. Their phone lines, live chat, and text messaging services are limited to a small window from 10 AM to 4 PM, and even then, no one answered. We are still waiting for a resolution.

This airline is cheap, and their service reflects that. If you’re willing to spend a little extra, I strongly recommend choosing another airline to avoid the immense stress and poor treatment we experienced. Allegiant Air’s management is nonexistent, their customer service is the worst I’ve ever encountered, and their complete disregard for customers is shocking. This airline should be avoided at all costs.

Very Disappointed in dishonest…

Very Disappointed in dishonest treatment and service. Bought three seats each with a checked bag. Gate agent was nasty. Would not allow our third bag checked even though we paid for it because we chose to keep center seat empty. We were charged $75 for a second bag on y seat. Gate agent said get a refund jokelike. I've tried 3 times to get a refund. No one to call! You send request in on internet, not even email This primitive airline is creepy

Horrible shuttle service.

Do not count on their shuttle from main airport in Austin out to Allegiant terminal. We had never used before and asked about shuttle. Stated they pick up every 20 minutes. They do not! We kept calling number and were told “oh you just missed it, sending another shuttle you way in two minutes, oh it will be there in 10”. What gets me is the lying. The shuttle driver said that the only reason she came was our calls. Then got on shuttle with others and would not give her permission to depart. We almost missed flight.

Allegiant Bad company.

I didn't want to waste my time posting a review. So as not to ruin my day, it's impossible not to mention how incompetent and disrespectful they are to customers with the continuous delay of their flights. Specifically, flight 1409 on 02/08/2024 was supposed to arrive in Knoxville at 5:30 and arrived at 8:30 pm, three hours later. And all without notifying these changes in time, the information arrives on time to board the plane. And the same thing is happening now with flight 3029 from today 05/08/2024, when you are at the gate to board and they tell you that the flight will now leave at 12:24 pm, it was moved to 2:59 pm. It's a shame that we don't have any rights and the companies do whatever they want with the passengers. That's why the option is not to fly with these types of companies and in the reviews give a very bad review so that other passengers don't go through this. To contact me you can do so through my email er73layahoo.com and I did not contact you for excuses the damage is done.

HORRIBLE in all caps 😠🤬very…

HORRIBLE in all caps 😠🤬very non-negotiable staff at the McGhee Tyson Airport location! I missed flight time and wasn't able to go in and rebook or secure new flight the following day due to the Microsoft shutdown. Came in the following late evening, no one was present at the counter to assist with a new flight. Called phone number provided and was told to call back 9am ( which was after time of new flight I had purchased for 5:49am). Arrived during departure time to try and reschedule was told I have to pay for new flight and purchased was non-refundable ☹️Delta airlines would never handle my situation like this. I remember it was time I missed a flight 3 times in one day only paid rebooking fee for a fraction of the price and other 2 didn't have to pay anything. Called customer care to seek relief and was humiliated by rep who continually called me a "Sir" after I told her I was a woman 🥲

Our flight was canceled due to no fault…

Our flight was canceled due to no fault of Alligent Air… but the customer service over the phone was horrible, I had waited on hold for 4 hrs the first time an employee was acting like she couldn’t hear me and hung up, the second time a worker by the name of Lisa was rude, when I called her on it, she tried to clean it up, and say she wasn’t being rude, we asked to speak to a manager, she complained, I would have to call back, not after already being on hold for 9 hrs already, then hung up and wouldn’t let me do the survey. I understand, they filtered numerous calls, but the professionalism, was disgusting, me being a prime member, I want to cancel it immediately. My sons will never fly with them again. Thank you for nothing, “Markquesha and Lisa, for your rude, behavior!

This airline will let another passenger hit you and don’t a thing about it

Flight was okay, until the end. There was a disrespectful passenger being disrespectful to an older passenger. My partner told the younger passenger that he was being ignorant. Which upset this passenger so much he shoved me out of the way and hit my partner across the face with his duffel bag. We made three employees aware as we are exiting they all say the same thing. Keep moving, tell the people at the gate. So we do. Of course the younger man flees the scene and we have to make a police report. A family even stuck around with the younger man seat number and they witness the altercation. Does the airline care? No. Was anything done? No. I tried, sitting on hold for hours emailing and they say no one on the flight was made aware so nothing can be done. Like we didn’t try to tell 3 employees on the flight. I’m adding the most recent email. “Sorry we don’t meet you’re expectations” is insane.

I usually look forward to flying…

I usually look forward to flying Allegiant. I love the beautiful Lehigh Airport, giving the feeling of home. The Pilot's almost guarantee a smooth flight despite weather conditions. Unfortunately, on this last flight a specific Stewart and Stewardess spoiled it for me and others on the plane. I understand flying is exhausting and we are only human. I also understand that dealing with the public can be stressful, but these stewardess’s were very rude and conducted themselves poorly in public creating a hostile environment. I just ask that a refresher course on customer service is an ongoing requirement. Kindness goes a long way. On the other hand I appreciate Allegiant affordable flying rates and the uniforms are nice!!! Lehigh Valley Airport staff were awesome!!!!! Thank you for letting me share.

Dont book with Allegiant

I booked a fare with Allegiant for our spring break trip. Upon accepting and booking the fare the departure date moved to the very next morning following arrival instead of the following Sunday as it was on my screen when i booked the flight. I immediately called because I was within 7 days of the departure so under Allegiant's terms and conditions, I was stuck with the reservation. After waiting on hold for nearly 3 hours, the representative tried to correct the reservation. She said she was having the same issue on the system so she discussed with a supervisor who authorized a refund of the fare to my credit card. The refund was never processed and Allegiant is unwilling to do anything about it at this point. Worst customer service I have ever received.

Your presence on their flight is an inconvenience to all who work at Allegiant

It is rare to be on time with Allegiant. What is guaranteed never to happen is to have a pleasant interaction with the gate or flight crews. They must hire from the reject pool of the quality airlines. Allegiant employees are irritable, rude, disrespectful & overall miserable people. We tolerate them when we must due to flight schedules. They are a discount greyhound in the sky run by people who deliver a full discount experience. You as a customer mean nothing to them. They see you as a problem to be poorly managed from your first interaction to the last. Fly them with the lowest of expectations & you should be fine.

Just completed a customer service conversation and it was a bad experience. On May 19, 2024 I requested a flight cancellation, and my credit card credited. The customer service rep verified my credit card number. Instead I now have a voucher. Today (5/28/24) I contacted customer service and the told me that they could not help me. They did not understand the question and then hung up on me. Terrible experience.

My recent experience at Allegiant…

My recent experience at Allegiant Airlines (FLL airport from the black ticket agent working at 6:45pm) was extremely disappointing and disheartening. As a member of the military, I expect a certain level of respect and courtesy, but unfortunately, I received the opposite at the ticketing desk. The agent I encountered was not only rude but also seemed to treat me differently based on my race. While she greeted and provided excellent service to white passengers, she was dismissive and unpleasant towards me when I simply asked a question about the orange sticker for my bag. This inconsistency in treatment is unacceptable and left me feeling deeply disrespected. I strongly believe that this behavior warrants serious consequences, and I intend to file a formal complaint with Allegiant Airlines' customer service department. No customer should ever be subjected to such discrimination and mistreatment.
