A Flight on Allegiant Air...is it REALLY that bad?

[@cheetajet320]

I'm a flight attendant with Allegiant Air and most of us really love our customers and really want everything to go nicely for our guests. I ADORE my job.

[@justintime5021]

The flight crew was very nice when I flew with you guys. That being said we waited 2 extra days in Phoenix while they tried to find a replacement plane when ours broke down. So we were just glad to even have a flight crew at all. You all could have physically abused all the passengers and we would still have been happy to even be going home. That being said this was quite a few years ago. I would probably give it another try

[@Chorizo727]

Allegiant is a ghetto airline for the ghetto people.

[@jenntip]

Well...I wish that was the case. Going to MO..the crew was rude and the plane was a mess. Flying back to FL...they held up the flight because they said we were already on the plane...when we clearly were not. Then one of the attendants decided to belittle us once we were finally seated. Crappy service going to and from with different crews doesn't really back your claim.

[@cheetajet320]

@@jenntip Okay. How many times did you fly Allegiant? Did you fly one round trip? Because one or even two round trips don't paint a big picture. I'm sorry the crew was rude and unhelpful. Just like in any industry we have bad apples. My whole crew just got a positive commendation from a passenger a week ago. My base actually has the highest number of positive survey feedbacks. I hope you got their name and filled out your post flight survey. Our company does take those seriously. It's important you let them know otherwise nothing will change.

[@cheetajet320]

@@justintime5021 That definitely happens. Our structure doesn't allow for major delays and other issues. We're not hub-and-spoke and we don't have the amount of planes needed to just switch tails. Our company is working on the problem. I'm sorry you experienced that. I've been through plenty of lengthy delays and we do our best to try to get people through it the best we can.

[@Jackietreehorn-z5e]

I fly Allegiant at least 3x a year. I can't recall ever being more than 20 minutes late. Very happy with them.

[@Vixiefox]

Last February I flew Allegiant from Peoria IL to Orlando/Sanford to move to Florida, and for the first time ever, I had my cat with me. The flight was a full one, and when I asked at the ticket counter if there were any rows with empty seats, they said there was one empty seat on the plane, and was in the last row. They let me have that row, so had me on the window, my wife on the aisle, and an empty seat between us, allowing us to put the cat carrier below the seat in front of us much easier, and allowing us normal legroom. I felt this was good customer service on the part of Allegiant, and I have always found their flight crews to be very helpful.

[@sandrahardison4918]

As a fearful flyer, I prefer driving over flying any day but I can’t drive to my destination this time. I booked with Allegiant after some very positive reviews. Also the ticket price was amazing! I thank you so much for this review. It has helped put my mind at ease. 😊

Hey Sandra! Nice to meet you , when was the last time you booked with Allegiant ?

As a frequent flier, when I’m not flying overseas I usually fly allegiant and yeah of course it’s a low-cost airline so it’s not great but on the other hand the staff is always nice decent selection of food and gets me where I need to go for cheap. So yes I recommend allegiant air if you’re trying to fly inside of the United States

[@kladpapier]

It's like you say in the video, know what to expect and all will be fine. Flying ULCC is like taking the bus, it's just about getting from A to B, no frills. Sometimes that is exactly what I need/want.

[@niqxx2966]

i flew to sanford last year on allegiant, i had very low expectations since it was a ULCC, however the staff were super friendly and the flight itself wasn’t bad at all, i wouldn’t mind flying them again and would pick them over spirit and frontier any day

[@918_xDx]

I have never had a problem with the direct TUL- > sanford. Have flown allegiant 35+ times and never had any issues.

[@infractionproductions5217]

The biggest problem with Allegiant is that they have almost no support if a flight gets canceled. Because Allegiant both only fly on select days and don't have connections, it results in a canceled flight leaving passengers stranded for an indefinite amount of time. No other ULCC does this. Even though Frontier and Spirit may only fly on certain days, they still offer layovers so they can work it out more easily. Allegiant does not. The result is that Allegiant completely screws passengers in the event of a cancellation. Case in point I took an Allegiant flight two weeks ago and it got canceled. It was going to be another FOUR DAYS before they could fly me to where I needed to be. I had to book a last minute flight on SWA. Even though Allegiant did refund my return ticket, it was only good for half of what I paid to fly on SWA. To me this makes Allegiant a non option. I can't book on an airline with a fragile route schedule and even more fragile reputation when it comes to maintenance and reliability. and then pray Southwest can bail me out if something goes wrong. Also consider that Allegiant markets to passengers on a budget, meaning not everyone has the resources to burn $300 on last minute flight if Allegiant cancels. While I think Allegiant offers a better hard product than Frontier, and in most cases Spirit, the sheer lack of support makes this airline truly the worst in the US.

[@gnexjeff]

This happened to us. The day before we departed, we were informed our return flight the following week was cancelled. They gave us a credit for the cancelled segment. Ridiculously, they actually charge a fee to apply that balance to a future flight. We're done with Allegiant.

[@andyasumtneer1978]

Agreed, happened to my mom flying into West Palm Beach. It was only a twice a week flight from her home airport... she was ob hold for 3+ hours to get a flight two days later from Fort Lauderdale.

[@jbreezy101]

Swa got fined at least once for slacking on maintenance.

[@HarringtonTribal]

AND!!!! If you're stuck in Sanford, FL - there are NO OTHER AIRLINES to rebook you. You have to make the 50 minute drive to MCO airport and hope for a REAL carrier. They stranded me the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Horrible time to be stuck. They couldn't find another flight until TUESDAY! Cost me $300 to get back to work on time. I'll pay the extra money for a real airline. But - if your flight DOESN'T get cancelled, you'll be fine. Flight crew were very nice and the plane was clean. :/

[@patrickcarpenter4062]

It's not fair to compare a ULC airlines to swa. Also you can book directly with swa and pay the premium knowing you will have more protection.you can't have your cake and eat it too.

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Chris, Allegiant is a fantastic Airline! Awesome video presentation!

[@helengore7621]

I flew Allegiant once round trip from Allentown, PA to Myrtle beach, SC. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I had never flew a budget airline but overall I was pleased. Yes, the tray tables are small but fortunate for me, I didn’t need it. I had plenty of legroom. I had heard that Allegiant doesn’t offer FREE beverages and snacks so I purchased a water and a bag of chips at the airport prior to boarding. The flight attendants were friendly. I just wish that Allegiant flew round trip Allentown to Myrtle beach year round but unfortunately that route is a seasonal route. I am a frequent flyer and I hope to fly Allegiant again as they are cheaper than American Airlines which is the airlines I usually fly

[@carrielinkous8157]

This makes me feel more at ease. 😅 my first ever flight is on Sunday and we’re flying with them. This video helped a lot!!

[@georgemcgowanfl]

I fly Allegiant because they offer the only direct flights from my home airport (ABE) to Florida. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones in that I’ve never had an issue with them, given their lack of phone support and limited schedule. Fortunately they fly between ABE and PIE 5-6 days a week now, so if a flight were to be canceled, I would probably only be stuck a day or two. That being said, in November 2011, while en route to ABE in my rental car (I was still living in Florida at the time), I was involved in a minor accident. I was stopped at a red light and got sideswiped by someone who came out of their lane, so they were at fault. I didn’t call police because that may have caused me to miss my flight and then I’d be stuck in Allentown another 3 days since they only flew Monday and Friday and I had already checked out of my hotel.

[@lewisblack3053]

I would never put myself in a position where I could get stranded if they cancel the flight. That's one reason why I fly Southwest. They have a strong route network to back you up, and their prices are really comparable when you consider they have no baggage or change fees, comfortable seats, full size tray tables, free snacks.

[@cheetajet320]

Southwest fares are much, much higher. Even with bag fees and "extras" on Allegiant, their prices are still lower. You think your bag and cup of coke is free. It's not. If you split everything down by cost, that coke is $14.00

The cheapest flights on SWA are 60 dollars but round trip flights average between 150 to 250 dollars.

[@JuanWayTrips]

The only time I flew Allegiant was this past January from South Bend down to Orland...I mean Sanford. It was a perfectly fine flight, and even with bags and exit row seats it still came out cheaper than DL/AA/UA flights with a layover. Since the flight was delayed due to weather, they gave out cans of pop at the gate that we could also take onboard. The FA gave me a cup of ice for free for the pop that I brought on board, and somehow my card was never charged for the snacks I purchased on board, so I guess I essentially got the experience of a typical full-service carrier lol One thing I noticed with Allegiant is that the aisles are super wide! Likely because their seats, despite being A320s, are only 17 inches wide instead of the usual 18 inches, so that extra room makes it easier to go up and down the aisle with others walking in the cabin.

[@schalitz1]

Overall they're fine, people just expect it to be like the big 3. "You get what you PAY for." If you go in with this mentality you'll find the experience decent. They get you from point A to B in a safe and timely manner which is really all that matters at the end of the day.

[@USAviation]

Just flew with Allegiant a few days ago…the cabin crew was extremely friendly, and I got to fly on there newer A320s with winglets. For my first time flying with them I was extremely impressed with Allegiant. I even got to sit in the cockpit after landing and watch the Captain and FO do the full aircraft shutdown flows and checklist. Very very cool 😎

[@MilesMiller-js3qu]

I had a very bad experience with allegiant. Everything started fine, we got onto the plane just like normal. Then after some time of sitting there they said there was something wrong with the plane, so they had a mechanic come to fix it. We were sitting for about an hour and then they told us to go back to the terminal. We waited in the airport for another 2 hours and they told us that the airplane couldn't fly. They said there was another plane coming from las Vegas that could pick us up. Then that plane also broke down so we had to wait another 8 hours before we got out of there. The cabin crew and Captain were very nice, just the company is bad.

[@Jerseyguy8527]

I think your last statement is part of the reason people don't like ULCCs...They are accustomed to the policies and amenities of major carriers and when they get a surprise they get angry. If you know what fees, the leg room situation and other similar policies, you're likely to have a far better flight. I used to live near Trenton Airport in NJ so I spent a lot of my time on Frontier (where they are the only airline).. I knew the policies and I made sure to factor it in the to the price to decide if I should use them or fly out of PHL or EWR

[@jennigirl176]

I fly Allegiant from the Lehigh Valley airport to Punta Gorda Florida 4 times a year and I absolutely love the Allegiant Air. I have never had an issue except for one time I had a gentleman who decided he was going to sit in my seat in which I paid for which was a window seat which more leg room and when I questioned the stewardess she made the gentleman get-up-and-get out and go to his own seat that he did not pay for that so I did appreciate that they could have just said we'll find another seat but they didn't. I truly like flying with Allegiant and would love to have to have Allegiant come and contract with the Reading airport in Reading Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania it would be wonderful for everyone who would like to use that airport. At this point if you want to use that airport they're offering you 2 trips a week down to Orlando Florida through Southwest however you have to go through boscov's department store their travel center in order to do so. So Allegiant Air if you're out there and you read this please please come to Reading Pennsylvania airport ✈️ !!!

@@Hanover-ek4jy I enjoy Allegiant. It’s a great company to work for. I’ve never had a bad experience flying on Allegiant. For the price, it’s not bad. I’ve flown on Allegiant many times throughout the years and they are typically my choice for leisure flying. My only complaint is Allegiant flys to certain destinations only on select dates. For example, I’m trying to fly to Austin Texas in November. They have 1 flight a day on Tuesday and Saturday. I have to be back on a Friday instead. If that one flight gets cancelled you may have to wait a few days till the next flight. So there is not much flexibility with Allegiant and I wouldn’t recommend Allegiant to any business travelers.

I will gladly pay more for an airlines I know isn't going to get me in over 4 hours late. Edit: Also, they had 0 staff at Midway in Chicago. Not even joking. We stood in line for 30 minutes waiting for an employee to show up to check our bags and another airline's employee came and did it.

Allegiant is number one on my DO NOT FLY list after they cancelled our flight home from Sanford to Portsmouth NH at the last minute and left us stranded in the Sanford airport. The next flight to Portsmouth was in three days. I understand flights get cancelled, but Allegiant employees were of no help to us whatsoever. After waiting in a long line at their ticket counter I was handed a slip of paper with an 800 number to call for assistance. The Sanford airport is in the middle of nowhere, so there are limited services such as lodging, dining, and ground transportation. The rental car agency would not allow us to drop a car at MCO to make connections there. Fortunately we had a relative in Orlando that was able to drive us to MCO where we stayed in a hotel to catch a Southwest flight the next morning to Manchester NH. Allegiant refunded our return airfare, but we incurred well over $1,000 in additional expenses for a last minute flight on Southwest, rental car at MHT to retrieve our vehicle that was parked in Portsmouth, meals, and lodging at MCO. Never again. From now on we will only fly Southwest to MCO. At least if the trip is cancelled they have a large network to fall back on.

Couldn't agree more about those useless 320 trays...

So other than having my own personal jet transport from my local airfields, Allegiant couldn't be more convenient to my recurrent travel, giving me tons of options in both getting a good initial deal, and in case of cancellation on that initial flight..... Having travelled 70+ flight cycles with Allegiant, and keeping in mind this airline is akin to a taxicab rather than a limousine, I couldn't go with anything but an A+ personal experience rating...

Turns out it wasn't going anywhere, they knew this, but kept it a secret until they took our money and bags. Many people complained and they put our bags back on the carousel. Tried to get our money back, they refused. We drove the 12 hours to Stockton. The replacement plane arrived just as we got to Stockton. We will NEVER fly with this organization ever again, so the ticket credit they gave us is worthless. Perhaps that is why there are empty seats on their planes.

Allegiant is the only direct flight to Sanford/Orlando and its significantly cheaper as well. I always pick my seating and enjoy paying only for a what I want. People travel with far too much crap usually LoL.

[@DebbieJeansThisAndThat]

Nice video. Allegiant looked fine to me. My daughter is flying here on it tomorrow. Bummer about the no shuttle service from your airport hotel. Rude😤😅

[@Cerby1979]

Wonder if those tiny tray tables will be put in their cabins of their new MAX 7s and MAX 8-200s once Boeing delivers them to Allegiant next year.

[@Ethan93256]

i want to guess the rest of your trip to nyc, so, american from CHS to DCA, and united from DCA to EWR? maybe??

[@res887]

During COVID many hotels discontinued their airport shuttle service.

[@JASONMORTY1982]

What camera did you have in the bathroom?

[@johnaiken9793]

Does Alligent Airlines offer assigned seating or is it all open seating (1st come, 1st serve?

[@Ainu4256]

You can reserve seats otherwise it’s assigned at the gate

[@LuccaRPG]

The heck is up with that tray table? The fact that's legit, even for a low cost airline is criminal. Might as well not include one at all!

[@michaelteale3335]

Um, why not check out Southwest?

[@levidorband865]

Keep up the great work

[@jenntip]

Just flew with them over the holiday...the flight was fine but the service was horrible!! The crew was VERY rude.

[@lukerichard918]

Hey Jennti! Nice to meet you, please when was the last time you booked with Allegiant airline ?

[@jenntip]

@@lukerichard918 Hello! Over this past Thanksgiving holiday.

[@lukerichard918]

Alright! I’m planning a trip to Florida soon so I’d like to know if they are the best so far! Where are you from ?

[@jenntip]

@@lukerichard918 They're an ok flight...it's cheap so don't expect much. I'm from FL so come on down... you'll love it.

[@lukerichard918]

Good morning 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@l7.bankrolz29]

love these vids

[@edan7813]

Same

[@chnalvr]

Are there U.S. carriers that forbid filming on board aircraft or just individual flight crews who sometimes try to stop it? That seems like a harmless activity. Why would a flight attendant try to stop someone from filming on board?

[@explorationgmer1336]

There’s no federal laws that forbids you for recording. I’ve been to flights and recorded my trips on the plane. I’ve seen few passengers recording when I’m working the flight (I’m a fa) so for me it doesn’t bother me at all. Probably depends on the FA some might not like it

[@jamesjamiem6033]

Good video! Allegiant is the best!

[@ezimdanielchukwunwike531]

Ticket price?

[@tedlease5294]

That’s the place we stay at and they always had a shuttle to and from the airport. They must can’t find anyone to work.

[@josephbaumann292]

You get yelled at a lot for filming, lol. Stay at the Holiday Inn. They have shuttle service. It’s a nice hotel too.

[@TestBotAcc165]

I just used this airline 😂 and the tray tables were huge and plus it was the same aircraft 😮 To Florida from Illinois

[@andrecarvalho5622]

Love the STS mask!

[@Awekobe_YT]

I just arrived from Singapore 2 weeks ago, believe or not we missed our flight after denying us so it was a disaster LOL

[@noahmorris8998]

Which airline has been the most stringent about you filming?

[@thejazzguy13]

They all have bad apples, but def American has the most

[@ucfabdias]

I'm an FA for Spirit. We don't have a "No Filming" policy on our flights so we can't tell you to shut it down. Personally I love watching Airline Trip Report videos and can't wait to recognize a KZbinr on board. However it does make some of the crew feel uncomfortable. We don't have a "break room" on our planes, heck we don't even have big galleys to retreat to so we don't any personal space to unwind, read a book or chit chat with your fellow crew. Being filmed by random people even if its for "good press" later as you liked your Allegiant flight is kind of like a minor invasion of what little privacy we already have on board. There's also crew members that don't want their faces to be shown online in a video and we can't trust what you are/aren't going to record in a video so it does make crew uneasy sometimes. Maybe crew doesn't want it publicly known online where they work too for safety/privacy reasons. Not every crew member is on social media in unform. Unlike a restaurant server, a bank teller, check in agent at a hotel where your interaction is only minutes, we have to be "ON" for sometimes 3-5 hour flights in a cramped cabin. Nowadays where anyone can whip out their phone to record their displeasure or catch someone "in the act" it can add tention to an interaction. Again I still love watching aviation trip reports, keep up the good work! I'm just not a fan of recording crew members. We are safety/service providers first, not PR for the airline.

I'm flying on allegiant airlines to Panama city flordia from Chicago.

[@michaelsharp3615]

I miss seeing the full sized tray tables on Allegiant

[@liflyer0413]

You never saw them in person, but their A319s still have full sized ones.

[@youcanthide004]

Allegiant is very Underrated in my opinion.
