Allegiant is not terrible anymore. They're an all Airbus fleet now, and the Airbus A319 and 320's are in good condition. The problem was with the MD-80's.
tonight's Q re-view finds him trying out a $25 flight on Allegiant. beautiful sunset on departure and the always nice LAS arrival. and since this was uploaded on Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing!!
Had the experience of flying Allegiant from Eugene (OR) to Los Angeles (CA). Although I purchased a round trip ticket, I was so dismayed by the service (or lack thereof) that I actually purchased a ticket back on United last minute. I just couldn't bring myself to go through that type of thing again. As always, thanks for another great video. Merry Christmas!!!
Great video quintin! I love how on the board there are all of these tiny cities and then Las Vegas. Allegiant airlines... is well, allegiant airlines. Obviously you can’t expect too much since it is a low cost carrier. Merry Christmas!!🎄🎁
Merry Christmas! I want to congratulate you on another great trip report, but also surviving an Allegiant flight. Tbh, I will stay far away from their aircraft for a long time.
Mani Javanbakht they are ex easy aircraft the reason it’s 4 o/w exits is because they can squeeze in 156 seats then, they have to have those extra exits for evacuation reasons.
I have no experience flying Allegient but from what I can see their main allegiance ( no pun intended) is to the stockholders. They return good regular profits and though a lot of people complain of safety they have not been grounded.
For some reason, Flight Radar 24 doesn't show me the age of the aircraft even though I have full subscription ! It shows everything but not the age and ground speed of the aircraft?
most 319's have one emergency exit on wings on this version (319-111) has two. I didn't know that till I watched this video and researched it, at first I thought he accidently put 319
I know. It's funny how more Canadian airlines fly there than American ones, and that's mainly because most of our snowbird population lives in that part of town. Allegiant does have a small base there though.
nice trip..AZA seems to be a easy airport to get around...If you need basic air service to get to point B (short flight) this would work...aisle looked a little wider....thanks Q MerryChristmas and a very flightful 2019
Allegiant is terrible! Flew them once last year because I had to and was met with over 3 hours delays from 'mechanical problems', very dirty and uncomfortable seats, good staff, and tons of hidden fees.
Hidden fees? Welcome to an Ultra Low Cost Carrier (ULCC) I work for one. The only reason I fly on my carrier is because I get free travel benefits and it’s not unsafe unlike Allegiant
LOL so I was in Grand Canyon over my winter break and there was this general store that had the name, but instead it was a bottle of barbecue sauce. I'm Guessing its an Arizona item
I flew this airline from Stockton, Ca to Las Vegas, NV. I'll start with the ONLY positive thing about this flight and that was the 10 minute check in and security clearance and the duration time between cities, which was around 1hr 10 mins. Now the cons. I live in Sacramento and could have flown any other airline out of Sacramento but at the time I purchased my 2 tickets there were no direct flights. Southwest was around $230 flying Sacramento to San Francisco with a nearly 3 or 4 hours lay-over; keep in mind a flight to Vegas is only a little over an hour. That being said I opted to drive 45 mins to Stockton were I was able to park my car at my families house which was 10 mins south of the airport. The drive wasn't an inconvenience and also saved me from paying Uber or parking in Sacramento. The other reason was the ticket price of the flight; 1 way was around $60/$80 so the ticket price was about $150 give or take, great, much cheaper and it was a direct flight. Not So! Once I selected purchase on line I was locked into the price which I was happy with, that was until the next screen popped up asking where id like to sit. I chose a seat and then pops up an additional fee of $35 per seat. I thought maybe I was getting a premium seat so I chose another, no luck the price was actually more. Come to find out that Allegiant Air sells you a ticket to board their plane but not a seat; you have to purchase the seat to sit in. Our inexpensive ticket now was nearly that price of Southwest's final price out of Sacramento. I figured ok, whatever, they got me and I should have know it was to good to be true. We were allowed no carry on, but only a bag that would fit under the seat unless we forked over another $25 per bag. Luckily, I called an made a flight change which lowered our price and got us a "free" carry on. The flight was fine but the plane craft was pretty worn down; front lavatory taped off, tape on the seats and the flight attendants wearing the ugliest brown and orange uniform. I felt like I was in a comedy movie, but not a funny way. Our flight back was even worse. As some may know, most hotels in Vegas block Wi-Fi to your devices unless you pay around $20 per day for service so we never received the e-mail from Allegiant that morning telling us our 12;30pm flight was cancelled and rescheduled until 6pm.This information was given to us by another couple that shuttled to the airport with us on the same flight. That gentleman saw his e-mail while we were sitting at our gate, now my partner and I are stuck sitting at the airport for an additional 6 hours along with that couple waiting for our 1 hour flight home; keep in mind we could have driven home in 10 hours and given we checked out of the hotel at 9:00 am and arrived home at 7:30 pm we could have driven home in the exact same time as our flight arrived. There was no reason for this flight to be cancelled other than it was under-sold and they chose not to make the flight we all paid for. Had I know all this was going to happened I've never flown that rickety-ass plane. I've flown a lot and that was the most uncomfortable flight I've every taken. I honestly didn't know if we'd make it and had I read the reviews prior I never would have. Not long after this flight a news story broke about this airline and it exposed a lot of scary things about Allegiant. I'm not quite sure how this airline is still allowed to fly?
They always buy used planes. They were still operating the older MD’s for a while, at least out of Hagerstown MD, about 15 min from me, have not heard pleasant reviews and issues with maintenance.
That is easily the worst airline in America in terms of quality and value. You could have flown Southwest for the same price or less than you flew Allegiant for. These ultra-low cost carriers are all a scam. Will never fly them, you are a better man than I. Merry Christmas and happy travels in the New Year.
Trevor Doyle Same, I’ve done the math between some Frontier flights vs. Delta specially ATL-SLC and while it looks like Frontier is cheaper when you start adding in the baggage,snacks,etc. it ends up costing about the same #scam
Trevor Doyle not true. I’m flying Allegiant tomorrow from Orlando to Lexington and it’s only costing me $66 round trip including baggage fee. And the next cheapest flight is like $200 and it’s not even nonstop.

Just a year ago a southwest’s engine exploted in mid air killing a passenger. And it was Southwest
How are the windows "small" when airlines can't choose window size and there Airbus standard. After watching this I believe you say Allegiant is bad because it's the common opinion.
Dylan Hammock Delta needs to step it's game up. Some of their planes need a good scrubbing on the inside. When they tell you to lower the shade don't do it because your doing the flight attendants job. The same one that wouldn't give you a full can of coke lol

Flew Allegiant from Grand Rapids to Orlando a few weeks ago. Staff was pleasant and the flight was great. For a non stop flight, It was perfect.
How low are your standards? Have you flown any other airline that isn't as bad as this one? I flew it and hated every thing about it except staff.

this kinda reminded me of your spirit flight in economy a little bit with the seats and the small tray table
Wishing you a Merry & Bright holiday season!
Have a Happy Holidays too!
Oh wow. I've actually never heard about this airline until now.
It is always good to see the old delta E145’s right?

Still called aza since its code for international flights
I’m flying with them from Oakland to Las Vegas kinda excited because it’s my first time flying but Idk why i Chose Allegiant over American!
I wanna go to Las Vegas one day, seems like a City of Dreams
