Flight was on time and we even arrived at the destination early seats weren't the most comfy and the snacks were slightly overpriced but overall good airline also the flight staff were nice read more

So far it is a horrible experience flying Allegiant Air. If we could get off the ground it would be awesome! The flight has been significantly delayed without explanation. The weather is great at the departure and landing airports. The crew is just standing at the front doing nothing. When asked, "Why the delay?" We are told maintenance paperwork. How long does it take to fill out paperwork?!! The steward's voice making the announcements was so soft you couldn't even hear the safety instructions. Besides the awesome legroom, this plane has nothing. I'm sorry, but if you are going to make us get in at 12:30am in the morning, we need much better treatment. So far I am not a fan! read more

Allegiant Air - Tray table? - Airlines Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Allegiant Airlines does not conduct "Best effort possible" as they say they would in their "Contract of Carriage" and their customer service is rude and ignorant. On December 11,2025 I waited at assigned gate for departure at Harry Reid airport hours before flight was to take off. My gate was changed, and I was never notified via announcement or text. Other airlines I flown texted me when gate{s} changed. I found out the gate changed when I wondered why we were not boarding the plane yet. I looked at the boarding gate, and my flight was not on the monitor anymore. I went to new gate at the time my flight was to take off. I was told the flight left already seven minutes earlier than it should have. Another gentleman missed the flight too. I called Allegiant Customer Service and waited about 15 minutes before I got talk to someone. I was told they can book me on the next flight. Well, the next flight was over three days away. I told the representative I can't afford to wait three days for the next flight. I was then offered a flight the next day at an airport 85 miles away. I explained that my car was at my airport and how will get there from the airport you would fly me to? I asked to speak to a supervisor, the representative talked to the supervisor and reported back to me that my missing the flight was my fault, they would do nothing else. I bought a ticket from another airline for $600 so I could get home in 12 hours. After getting home I called Allegiant inquiring for a complaint form where I can write my story on why I believe it was not my fault for missing my flight. The representative said the issue was already handled and my missing the flight was my fault and she left the conversation. Allegiant's "Contract of Carriage" is a document that basically voids them of any fault for a customer missing their flight. Allegiant did not conduct "Best Effort Given" as stated in the "Contract of Carriage", I was not given messages. The flight left earlier than the departure time given on my boarding pass without notification. Allegiant takes no blame and demonstrates no empathy for their customers. I am 67 years old. Flown many times. This was the first time I flew using Allegiant, this is the first time in my life I missed a flight. Never will fly Allegiant again! read more

The flight was good. But the airline host and ladies at the gate scanning the tickets. RUDE AS CAN BE!!! Customer service is very much lacking!!! read more

We went from Rickenbacker international airport to Orlando Sanford direct. Sadly our trip was short notice and during a holiday week so while it was cheaper than other options it was still price, but you don't get much choice in timing when people die. The airport was only 2 gates and this is the only airline that uses it so you don't have to worry about getting lost. You enter the building and eventually someone shows up to chevk your luggage then you quickly go through TSA and immediately up the escalator to the gates. The entire building is very small so an easy walk. Little cafe, electronics vending, and bathrooms at the gates. They always claim arrive 2 hours early, but I really do not agree. The whole check in and TSA process couldn't have taken more than half an hour total since the line isn't very long for a single plane load. Be sure to bring a book or something to do as you will be waiting a while. The flight was delayed about 40 minutes and a frequent flyer beside us said this is extremely common for Allegiant. They also allow small pets on the flight as long as they fit in a small carrier so that was nice. The pets do not have to be service, ESA, or anything, but there is an extra fee. There is also a fee for carry ons, but not small purses so be careful on packing. If you or your family is a veteran then be sure to use the 2 free checked bags option. We just assigned my bag to him ti save on the charge. Be sure to not prepay for your checked bags as if you prepay then tell them the veteran status at bag check they mark in the system and make you call customer service (on hold 34 min) to get a refund. The airplanes are decent leg room especially if you get the exit row (extra fee). Be aware they ask if you can handle the exit doors in event of an emergency so do not book this row if disabled or unable otherwise they will move you. Thin seats so probably bad for long flights, but extra leg room. Get the app! Helps track delays, boarding tickets (printing onsite is $5), and even rental car. read more

Allegiant Air - Leg room in exit row - Airlines Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

During our recent flight from Myrtle Beach to Rickenbacker on Father's Day, the overall experience was satisfactory. The flight proceeded smoothly, with a seamless takeoff, landing, and minimal turbulence. Onboard, we had a team of four flight attendants, three of whom carried out their duties effectively. However, one of the attendants exhibited concerning behavior. She displayed signs that suggested she may have been under the influence of some substance, as her actions appeared erratic and unusual. Additionally, we overheard her speaking in a sharp tone, expressing frustration regarding passengers fastening their seat belts and storing their luggage. Throughout the duration of the flight, she maintained a displeased expression, causing several passengers to comment on her apparent state. Never in my life have I experienced something like this, and I fly A LOT. read more

I seriously don't know what all the complaints are about allegiant airline.... I have never had one problem flying with them other than their seats are a bit small (but that's nothing). Nonstop flights get me where I need to be. We have taken numerous flights from Rickenbacker Columbus to Myrtle Beach never an issue. read more

Okay so we all know the saying "You get what you pay for" This should be the slogan for Allegiant. I spent a total of 4 hours waiting for a 1 hour flight to leave. 1 of those hours was waiting on the plane with screaming kids. Now I don't have a problem with screaming kids on flights because it happens. What I do have a problem with is a airline boarding a flight then making people wait a hour on the plane before the flight leaves. They told us that they needed maintenance to JUST sign off for the plane to leave and it would take 10-15 minutes well it really took 60 minutes! I like anyone else that likes to save money was enticed in to a low fare price and a direct flight. Needless to say I should have just spent the money and purchased a flight with a major airline and took my chances with a connecting flight. I have spent so much time waiting that I was able to write this review. We are now going on a 1.5 hour wait on the flight. The people are getting upset. The plane just cut off then cut back on and the pilot said that it would be another 5 minutes before take off. We finally took off. The only positive thing about this flight was the flight attendants. They were nice. I hope they get paid well. If you have made it this far in to my review then you have probably guessed.... I will not be using this airline again! read more

I love Allegiant so much! From Columbus, I can go see my son in Jacksonville in the same amount of time as it takes to drive to my daughter in Cleveland for about the same price. Well, almost. ;) Once you learn your way around the differences, it is as comfortable as any other airline and as dependable. I have had delays on every airline! It can't be helped. What I love is the non-stop flights and, oh yeah. The PRICE! My family can get together more often and I can escape the bad weather whenever I want to. My only complaint is that it doesn't fly from Columbus to Jacksonville all year at this time. Thank you Allegiant! read more

They get NO stars. We were suppose to have a voucher that lasted two years after my husband tried to surprise me with a Key West trip for Christmas. We had to reschedule since I was starting a new job. He lost over one hundred dollars but they emailed him a voucher for $249. When we tried to claim it for a family trip, the balance was zero. We have not been on a trip since July 2020. This will be my first vacation since I started this job the beginning of the year. I checked our account to see if it was cashed out, but it wasn't. No one has access to my husband's account but him. It was like pulling teeth to get him to go on this trip because of his work hours, I know he hasn't taken a vacation. My question is, who else had access to that voucher? The person who sent it. Something doesn't smell right. How many times has this happened with this company? Someone is getting over like a fat rat. read more

The flying Greyhound! Taking air travel to a new low level. That's the downside. The upside is also a low level...fare wise. Last time I flew to Nola it cost $1200 for two of us and a layover in Orlando. And terrible travel times. Flying on Allegiant...$350. What a difference. And it was a straight thru flight...I can put up with a hard seat that doesn't recline for 1 hour and 45 minutes. I can put up with almost anything for that period of time. And I was in Nola for breakfast!!!! The other downside was the weight limit on luggage. 40 pounds a bag. I really had to evaluate everything I took. Everything. Still, I was able to do it with just enough to wear for the length of my trip. A bottle of water was $2 - nothing is free on Allegiant. And I hate a $2 charge...but they don't accept money...just plastic. So if you can fly Allegiant, I would encourage you to do it. But just for short flights. I would not enjoy flying to Hawaii on that seat with no personal space. I will fly them to Nola as soon as I can! read more

Online ticketing was simple and easy, aircraft was newer clean and well-kept, flight crew was excellent, departed on time arrived on time. This is what I expect from my Airline everything else is just frills. Not to say that on a longer flight, mine was 3 hours, I wouldn't splurge and go for the comfort. read more

The check in process was a little stressful but we got through it. The price for the two of us to fly from Columbus, Ohio to Puente Gorda, Florida was fantastic, $156 for both of us, one way. Small slightly cramped plane but it was a smooth flight. Left and arrived right on time. Will be flying Allegiant Air every time I can. Glad I gave it a try! read more

I need to change a flight scheduled for the last week of March. Allegiant's phones are disconnected, there is no Chat available and they don't return emails. All I want is a voucher for a future flight! WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN if this isn't rectified!!!!!!! read more

I am a dialysis patient who has traveled with Allegiant many times since moving to Florida several years ago. y last flight was so troubling. I fly with a dialysis machine (a life sustaining medical device) that weighs approximately 90 pounds. I always call the airline and prepare them for this situation, but upon flying home from LCK I was charged a fee of $75.00 for the transport of my medical device. I not only have a problem with that but the ""agent" who was to assist me was very out of line. When I tried to explain to her that a medical device should not be charged, she only disputed loudly that it was "overweight and inappropriately packed". Mind you this was not only a trip back from my destination Allegiant took me to but the first time I have ever been demanded to pay for transport my medical equipment. It is carried in the box it was delivered to me in and has handles. All information about the machine is on the outside and it is the only way I can safely travel with it. As we disagreed, she became louder and more disrespectful. I asked her name and she said "Adina". I asked to please spell that and if I could have her employee number and she replied she could not spell it and no I could not have any associate number. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she stated she was the highest supervisor available. I could not believe this was how her staff was watching her "work". I have never been more embarrassed, humiliated and disrespected in my life. My mom, who was traveling with me, asked her to calm down and lower her voice, Adina's' response was "well she started it so I can talk to her however I want." She was NOT going to let me on my flight without the fee. Never ever have I been charged a fee and made to feel like such a burden as a consumer. There as a crowd of employees and other travelers looking on leaving me to feel like she was divulging my health information,(HIPPA) I try to be so vigilant in traveling because I know this is not an everyday situation, but to be treated the way I was was very uncalled for.I did come home and contact the FAA about the situation. as of today, no reply. read more

With no bells or whistles, Allegiant's one-way fare from Columbus to Punta Gorda was the cost of a cab fare to the airport. Nice. But such cheap tixs can often come with massive discomfort, massive delays, and a roller coaster ride over light turbulence in a too cheap plane. I was hesitant, but greed won out and I bought the pass. I am very satified with my trip throughout. Allegiant's app makes for an easy way to check-in, scan boarding passes, and keep tabs on takeoff and arrival times. The gate team is very well trained and the boarding process is orderly. My hour-an-a-half flight was made in Airbus A320; a smaller jet with three seats flanking an aisle. Yet surprisingly there was enough leg room for a 6'3 man like myself. There was some rocking of the plane when it hit roughs spots, but compared to some experiences I've had with smaller jets, its reaction to turbulence was barely nothing. We tookoff about 10-minutes behind schedule, which is pretty average for the major airline. There are stewards aboard, about four of them. There is no comp drinks or eats though, everything must be bought--and like a movie theatre it's price to the primo. They also take you on carry-on and cargo baggage--it's how they make their money. Luckily, I sent my clothing before hand so escape those charges. They don't take cash so have your cards ready. So if you decide to forgo the heavy prices at the majors for a discount flyer I suggest Allegiant. They fly out of Rickenbacker and the go to many sub-tropic places. It's not a bad flight. read more

It would be very difficult to rate this airline since they never take off. I have spent more time trying to get my money back from them that I have flying with them so far they have canceled both of the flights that were scheduled for my wife this year. I would strongly encourage you or anyone else that wants to get to where they're going to put allegiant where they belong in the trashcan! read more

Recently flew from Columbus to Destin. Our flight was delayed twice and then cancelled. While that really stunk, the nice lady working the snack stand never stopped smiling and taking care of customers. I was literally there for 6-7 hours and she never stopped, took a break or was not smiling! Bless her heart for being kind!!! read more

Small Airline, but great service for the most part. Seats are a little small, but can't complain for such a cheap ticket and for such a short flight. We used Allegiant for a year to fly to Florida for work. 95% of the airline crew staff was awesome. We had a few instances here the flight attendants apparently hated their job. I've had that on large airlines too. For the price, it was well worth it! read more

I mean it was ok Say a flight to Punta Gorda from Rickenbacker airport it was small with only two gates our flight was a Little Bit late but the downside we could Land to Punta Gorda Because of the fog so we had to divert two Orlando they gave us free vouchers for one of our friends who are traveling with us stayed at the airport until 6 AM and they didn't even get on the flight to Punta Gorda because how tired they So then they rescheduled the flight two tomorrow at 1:30 then after that we came to Punta Gorda our experience was a little ok Because it was just a first time because our flight got canceled to Fort Myers read more

They get a star from me ONLY because I never flew with them before and I had trouble checking in and my guy waved my fees the first time cause he didn't want me to miss my flight I was really thankful. But over all the customer service IS HORRIBLE I will never fly with this airlines again they are ride show no sympathy AT ALL. And then on top of everything only tried giving me a $30 bag credit but not a credit for my flight MONEY TAKERS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Would be a five except they don't care about safety during the Covid pandemic. I did not pay the extra fee for my wife and me to choose our seats on the return trip from Florida. We were seated in a group of three to four consecutive rows toward the back of the plane rows that were packed three across as our punishment on a less than half full flight. There were entire rows empty toward the front-as many as six consecutive. Nobody could change seats however, due to "even weight distribution" being disrupted. Yeah, right. My wife was stuck next to two women who each nursed a bloody mary for the entire 1 hr. 45 min. flight so they wouldn't have to wear a mask. And to top it off they never shut up the entire flight, so there mouths were constantly spewing germs. Until this pandemic ends, I suggest you pony up the extra ransom to choose your seat if you are going to fly with this airline. Me? I'm going to fly the airline that is keeping all middle seats open. Their integrity is worth the extra money. read more

Horrible. Flight delayed, then delayed again. Then refused to communicate and let anyone know what was going on. Zero communication. After waiting 9 hours they cancelled it. Should have let anyone know what was happening or NOT happening. Disappointed. Won't fly Allegiant. read more

At what price? Granted Allegiant's fares are lower. But at what COST? Their seats must have all of 1/2" padding IF that and your rear end and back are sore at the end of the flight. The WORST part us if you check a bag (WHICH you have to pay for) it takes 1 HOUR for it to appear at baggage claim! I will pay 25% more for Delta myself. read more

I flew to JAX this past week from Columbus, Ohio to Florida. I loved Allegiant!! The seats were comfortable, the staff was very friendly, the departing and returning flights were smooth and awesome. I love the pilot chatter before and after landing. So fun and affordable!! Thanks Allegiant!! I will use you again! read more

Allegiant Air - Airlines Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I was really happy with my allegiant flight. They do start with low fares and then nickel and dime, but it was still a really inexpensive flight. I only took a carry on-no checked bag, but that worked for my short weekend away. I paid $21 to pick my seat in the front row- a good decision since the plane was crowded. Very very friendly and professional flight attendants- nicest I've had on any flight with any airline. I HATE flying, but it was pretty painless with allegiant! read more

This is a newer airline from Columbus to Myrtle Beach. Thought I would try airline. Big mistake!!! I was traveling to help a family member who ended up being in the hospital longer than expected. Not only could I not change ticket There was no refund not even a credit to use in the future. Never again. read more

I wish I could give them 0 of 5 stars poor customer service, even when proven wrong. Lines are always delayed and I'll never go back.if you want to waste your time and money then fly with Allegiant!! read more

Tammy at allegiant air gets an A++. There was a problem with me seat unrelated to her and she handled my new seating arrangement swiftly, and courteously. She was very friendly, Tammy is what flight attendants should strive. Thanks again. read more

I am writing this review for my wife since she is still pretty shook up. This incident took place on 7/20/17 flight 533 from CVG to Las Vegas...The flight was delayed 2 times(for mechanical issues?) so finally after almost 4 hours the plane was loaded with passengers and we took off for Las Vegas. After only 3 minutes we knew there was trouble. There was a loud booming noise, the plane shuddered and there was smoke in the cabin area. People were crying, flight attendants totally lost it and they were running up and down the aisle. The plane circled around and quickly made an emergency landing. The Captain/Pilot made an announcement that the plane had an engine that blew up and that he had never seen this happen ever. Firetrucks were everywhere, thank God. The passengers were ALL upset and the ramifications hit home for most of them as we exited the plane and everyone realized how serious the incident was. When this airline made the announcement that they would be continuing the flight with another plane NO ONE got in line for that flight. EVERYONE got in line for a refund and made arrangements for a different airline. Further inspection reveals that this plane was old and in very rough condition. At some point these second hand planes need to be retired and this particular plane is one of those. read more

Horrible service from start to finish. If I could give negative stars I would!!! If you have any issues with your flight, plan to wait on phone for at least an hour before talking to anyone. Once getting to the airport the staff was extremely rude when we asked why our plane was delayed 4 times. Our 2 pm flight is now a 9pm flight and we are still waiting in this airport with no air conditioning. read more

Back in February my wife and daughter wanted to go see my wife's cousin in Florida from C-bus, Ohio. They booked two round trip tickets and paid for seat upgrades and one checked bag each. The total cost for both was $300 total. The aircraft was a newer Airbus. The flight left on time and returned on time. Zero issues(sorry 60 minutes). Thanks for the great service Allegiant. read more

Our flight home was canceled. To make it worse, they have yet to even refund the money almost 4 weeks later. The 1pm flight from Savannah to Columbus (5/29/2017) was first delayed then rescheduled at 3pm then canceled around 6pm. Even worse, they only fly out twice a week. Flying home with Allegiant would mean at least 4 more nights at a hotel and missed work back at home. I tried to communicate with Allegiant yesterday (6/22/2017). The email response said it may take up to 60 days. Next I tried their phone number to as how I should be asking for a refund since they didn't automatically issue one. The phone number was out of order. If your wondering, we took a rental car one way back home. Not cheap! I need to restate that even their phone number 1-702-505-8888 works. The planes are old and not a smooth flight down to Savannah. Delta also has a non stop between Cbus and Savannah. I would recommend trying it over Allegaint. Or just DRIVE! read more

This is supposed to be a new economy airline out Rickenbacker flying to secondary airports. Their policies are rigid. There are all kinds of hidden fees (baggage, seat, boarding, etc.) They charge for everything. Their refund policy is pretty much non-existent. If you don't buy their Flex at $75 per leg you pretty much forfeit your ticket if you can't fly as scheduled. This isn't the deal it hyped to be. My suggestion...fly Southwest! I've never written a Yelp review, but I was so turned off by this airline I felt it appropriate to do so. read more

Delayed 4 hrs and then again another 1 1/2 hrs. Called customer service and on hold for over 45 mins with no answer. They still want you to arrive 2 hrs prior to original flight time. BS read more

My experience has been great flying throguj Allegiant until my current trip. When we arrived to the airport the TSA was late and just coming to work at 11am. Also our Pilots and flight attendants were just coming in 30 minutes before our flight was supposed to take off. 30 mins after everyone boarded and waiting for take off an announcement was made that a light bulb needing replaced and a mechanic was onsite to replace it. They said it would be a quick swap but 30 minutes later they ask everyone to leave the plane stating our flight was delayed by 2 hours because they could not find a LIGHT BULB! As everyone is back in the airport, another announcement was made that the Captain was not feeling good and that we were getting a different plane and pilot. I'm not sure what was going on but it sounded like he may have been hungover or actually sick, they could've came up with a better reason to delay our flight. I think there should be real changes when it comes to Allegiant's employees training. I want to feel safe and have correct information given and not some made up terrible lie. read more

Unfortunately I did not read reviews before booking this airline. Flight was to depart tonight at 6:50pm. Delayed until 8:45pm. That's a 2 HOUR DELAY for NO reason. The airline requests you arrive 2 hours before your departure. 4 hours sitting in Rickenbacker airport doing nothing. What a waste. Will never use this airline again. read more
