I flew aleegiant into SFB out of harrisburg, PA, in 2019. And i thought everything was fantastic. I knew going in what i was going to expect, so i wasn't like super disappointed in anything.

Great review. Thanks for reviewing the new high capacity max. Didn’t seem too bad. Happy travels!

Nothing like a new airplane and a fresh bag of Blue Diamond Low Sodium Lightly Salted Almonds to start your morning! Blue Diamond, the official nuts of avgeek twinks

Thank you for this!!!!! I have been looking for a trip report on the Allegiant Max because I wanted to see what was different. Thanks for the video!!❤❤❤❤

Great video! Outstanding footage of the new 737 Max 8-200 for Allegiant!

[@K4Ediamond]

I had no idea allegiant started service with these so seeing this video in my recommended was a surprise. Nice to see that they put actual tray tables onboard. Gonna be flying some Allegiant flights at the end of this month but they're all A319s.

Good job mate 👍

I believe it is a legal requirement to indicate if a video is sponsored?

I've flown Allegiant CVG-VPS and CAK-PIE and both experiences were great.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent trip report Emil! I was pleasantly surprised by Allegiant last summer and I’ve got to say, the restaurant to the left of security at SFB is quite good!

[@ilovetofu7035]

that engine start sound.... so amazing

[@georgemcgowanfl]

Yes they do fly into some obscure airports. But Allegiant has the only nonstops to Florida from my local airport so I regularly fly them between ABE and PIE. Never had a bad experience with them. And I prefer flying into St. Pete over Tampa as it is closer to where I am going.

[@PenskeCup]

I've been wanting to see this for years

[@parkersaviation]

I think you’re the first on KZbin to Review this aircraft

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

Not really. There are some reviews older than this. About 6 days to 1 week old.

Man, you looked cramped in that seat.

Could be worse, I had the misfortune of sitting in row 31 on a VOI A320neo. Took me all of 2 seconds to nope and go back to my seat at the front (despite being a standard seat it had a bit more legroom)

Awesome to see window shades up, I fly sooo many times on the isle and people close the shade and stare at their phone the entire flight. How can you sit in a tube for an hour or longer and not want to see outside?

[@steves2694]

Looks like you Uberd/Lyfted between MCO and SFB. That's a ways. How much did that cost? If you factor in that cost, plus Brightline, plus your time, it makes one reconsider flying out of central Florida if you're in south Florida.

[@davidpalomeque4689]

How tight is it compared to Spirit’s seats or Frontier’s seats?

[@nixaviation]

Glad you enjoyed those very delicious low sodium lightly salted Blue Diamond almonds. They make for an excellent addition to any flight.

Those seats look brutal.

Great review and vid. I love flying Allegiant. I will be onboard again soon traveling back to SYR from PIE on their A319. We've purchased exit row and first row seating this time around. Looking forward to it. I'm ready to travel over to Orlando in order to try out Brightline as well. I cannot wait until they are here in the Tampa area!

[@povertyspec9651]

Will be years before Brightline makes it to Tampa.

Don’t forget they’re low sodium

[@cardoncarl]

What happened to that light aircraft going so fast on a taxiway during the start-up sequence ?

[@Iflytwa]

Full flights ?

[@Cerby1979]

So Spirit Airlines is no longer considered a ULCC?

[@erich930]

I'm flying on Allegiant for the first time later this month, and supposedly one of my flights is supposed to be on the new MAX-8-200. Definitely looking forward to it overall, but at 6'2" I'm not excited about enduring the tight legroom for almost 3 hours!

[@andrewsunde7915]

Why is a flight between Orlando's 2nd airport and Huntington so full???

[@gordo1163]

lol thats what im saying. i guess allegiant has their route planning nailed down

[@rosewetzel8284]

Where were you guys flying out of?💞🇺🇸✝️☮️✈️💞

[@dtalbot9200]

LLC's don't have seat back pockets for a very simple reason: people leave stuff: trash, nasties and more stuff in those pockets which requires personnel to clean those pockets and dispose of that stuff and that stuff can't be cleaned at every stop, so boarding passengers at an enroute stop find stuff in their seat pocket.

[@randyrohe]

I don't really understand Allegiant's selection of the MAX200. I mean, you can put 189 seats in any -800/MAX8, and the 200 was intended for (wait for it...) 200 seats. So they added the complexity and weight of the extra door pair, for.......... ONE additional seat. Granted, they can do the extra legroom upcharges up front, but if they really have that much need/demand for ancillary revenue, why not just get a MAX9 and truly go hog wild???

[@ITripReport]

Here’s my theory, Boeing was in a desperate position to get some good PR out of the MAX, while also being desperate to promote the 8200. So they probably offered allegiant an even bigger discount to take the 8200 over the 8.

[@AlexCentury]

Those seats actually look somewhat comfortable.

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

Does Boeing still offer the smaller Sky Bins on the MAX?

[@asasmee]

They do yes

[@Baphomettie]

Great for passengers, inconvenient for crew. Small aisles and lack of space for crew to sit or stand. But overall beautiful 737. Avoid aisle seats as you’ll be bump on the shoulders when people walk through. Cabin crew or not. Happy flying!

[@ojaaviation]

What editor do you use

[@uy_spotter]

standar low cost 737s have 189 seats, so all of designing a new variant of the plane just to add 1 more seat (190)? I don’t get it 👀

Only sad thing about Allegiant is that they don't offer no Connection Flight so it's Point A to Point B... and then chance it by buying another ticket from Point B to Point C (if they serve the point C city that you want to go to)

Good report. The legroom is dangerously tight. I know Allegiant is an LCC; however, Congress should legislate that all air carriers have a minimum of 33" seat pitch between each row. That's the only way airlines will respect the flying public.
