Wow I just have an encounter with one of the rudest and condescending airline customer service call center agent I have ever experienced. To preface this, I am a personal and business traveler that flies an average of 4 times a month for the last 12 years on various airlines, my background stems from the service industry, and I'm not a complainer and normally move calmly about my day. But tonight 4/7/26, approximately 10p CST Angel, ID#UW9P (the only information he provided) from Allegiant Airlines was the rudest, most arrogant, unhelpful, obnoxious piss-poor customer service representative I have ever encountered.
Now I know you get what you pay for, so maybe it is what it is but I had to make a change to a flight. But even a budget airline should have moderate service experiences. I call in, wait on hold for almost an hour, to have an encounter with this capital A-hole took me over the top.
During the wait, about 45 minutes in, I change the ticket on the app but the price seemed a bit off, so I wanted to speak with an agent. To my luck I received Angel, who apparently was having a bad day and wanted to use me for some get back. I simply explained the situation and asked could did I complete the transaction correctly and could anything be done about the up charge. I simple explanation and a kind I'm sorry but it would not allow me would have been the end of it. However this guy insinuates I am idiot for making the call and I was wasting his time. Nonchalant and low key disrespectful. Just to make sure it was not just me over reacting, I stated that yes I do understand but sometimes agents have the power to help in these cases as my mistake was keystroke error but I understand if you can not. Whoa that opened up belittling and down talking like i had a lack of understanding of the terms and conditions. I told him i waited for an hour on this call, he said oh well some people wait 4 hours. I asked him his name and he didn't want to give it to me. I pressed him for it and then he said Angel sharply, and I asked for his last name, he said i can't give that out, I asked for his identification code for work since I can't have your last name, he ramble a number, I told him I didn't understand, he said so you have a problem understanding English, I asked for his supervisor, he said no, then he said he didn't have a supervisor, then he asked why I wanted to speak to his supervisor? I told him with a condescending tone to relay to him the great job your doing, he accurately called me a liar twice. I asked to be transferred several times and then he hung up on me. A survey came on and I gave him all zeros! I didn't feel that was enough so I decided to leave a review.
I was so pissed I ended up calling back to leave a formal complaint over the phone. I waited 30 more minutes just to tell someone. However, the person that answered was kind and directed me to the website as they were only customers service. I wish Angel had that representative's training. I hope you find my call and review it. I don't wish him terminated as every one needs a job but his actions once reviewed will lead to that determination, it was that bad! read more
