Who has flown Allegiant Airlines? How was it?

Cheap. No frills. Never had a problem.

Their pilots wanted to go on strike and were prevented from doing so and all of a sudden had began to have all these "safety" issues that resulted in emergency landings that naturally made the news.

I've never felt unsafe on any of their plane even during all that mess.

Carry ons cost. So does picking your seat.

My boss has used them for business trips with no problem. He generally just takes one carry one bag.

oh and depending on where the flights are to and from they don't fly every day of the week. Flying to Grand Island they only fly something like tuesday thursday and friday but not daily so be sure to check they fly on the days you need to come and go

Twice. Never ever again. Their planes were a mess, too many extra fees, bad customer service.

I agree with everyone about all the extra fees but when it comes right down to it they get you to your destination safely. I guess for me it's like driving a Pinto vs a BMW. They will both get you to where you are going, one is just nicer than the other.

I like to use them to fly from Eugene (smaller airport and closer than Portland) to Oakland or LA to visit family. I just pack a really small bag and call it my purse. I've never had anything weighed, is that new? Only one time was I delayed and it was for several hours.

We chartered with Allegiant from Kansas City to Orlando for a high school band trip. Even though we sent a full manifest of the instruments and luggage we planned to bring, they could not figure out how to load the plane. We were 2 1/2 hours late leaving Kansas City and they managed to leave one kids luggage behind in KC which included the uniform he needed to march in 2 parades. They knew we were bringing 3 busloads of kids to check in at the same time and they had exactly 2 staff members available to check us in one at a time. 

Once we arrived, several of us who had been on windows seats toward the middle of the airplane noticed our arms were sore.  It turned out to be chemical burns from something they cleaned the plane with, my case was fairly mild but we had some kids with open weeping sores.  Fun vacation!

Despite near constant inquiries about the missing luggage, no one seemed to give a flip and we got the luggage back on the carousel upon arriving home in KC.  We had the same loading problem on the return flight, they learned nothing from earlier in the week.  Also, Allegiant does not have their own baggage handlers in KC, don't know if that is the same everywhere.   A Southwest flight came in at the same time we did and we waited almost two hours to receive all our checked luggage.

Never, ever, ever again would I fly Allegiant.  Beware!

Buyer beware. I have friends who have been stranded for four days when their flights were cancelled. And no refunds or tickets on other airlines. If you are serious, I'd google "Allegiant Air issues" and read carefully.

My sister and my dad live in FL, I live in IN. They both fly Allegiant with no problems.

I've flown on Allegiant a handful of times without any issues.

I've flown with them a ton between LAX and Eugene. I've always been happy. Definitely no frills. I just take one carry on and one personal item purse/tote. I've never had them weigh anything. I bring my own snacks and drinks on board with me.

Eta: I never pay for any extras like early boarding or seat selection. I just booked a flight in October between LAX and EUG for $110 round trip.
