Adj: Acceptable, Affordable, and a bit Above Average…read more So this is a budget airlines and the expectations should really match that. We've flown Allegiant Air a number of times and on average it's been pretty good. We pack light and only bring on our backpacks so we avoid the baggage fees. There are lots of fees, but we just don't buy any of those extras, such as picking our own seats. Since our flights are usually from Stockton to Phoenix, AZ, the flights are short and therefore we can put up with sitting in less than ideal locations on the plane. They always seat parents with their children, at least 1 parent with 1 child, so no child is ever left to sit by themselves, so the whole choose your own seat thing isn't important to us as long as there's 1 parent with 1 or both of our children. In fact, when you're booking your flights, a child cannot book on their own, there must be an adult's ticket booked at the same time, that ensures safety and also that the parent on the same booking will be seated with that/those child(ren). The comfort level isn't great as the seats are quite hard, they're acceptably cushy, but bring your own donut seat cushion or whatever you need if you are looking for extra back and bottom support. We like that the planes are Airbus and not Boeing ones, but that's not the biggest thing. The most important issue of course is safety, and we've experienced very professionally piloted Allegiant flights that are safe and smooth. The flight attendants have been good to great, and the pilots very competent and professional. 1-star taken for when they do have some delays (necessary) and some of them have been quite long such as waiting to depart b/c of some technical issues (understandable) and also once we were waiting for our checked item (really discouraged us from checking any luggage ever again) for over an hour after arrival. Overall, we like Allegiant Air and plan to keep flying with them since they are Acceptable, Affordable, and a bit Above Average. =)

AWARENESS: I recently flew Allegiant Air from Stockton to…read moreLas Vegas for an event. About two weeks before my trip, I visited SCK and purchased my tickets from the counter. At the time, I also chose my seat. The isle seat in an exit row. NARRATIVE: Heading to Vegas to attend the 2025 Big Smoke cigar event, I didn't want to drive so, I decided to book a flight out of Stocktons airport on Allegiant Air. On the date of my flight, I arrive about two hours early and as luck would have it, my flight was already delayed over an hour. Even though I had already purchased my round trip tickets and seats in advance, I checked in with their agents at the counter and presented my military ID because, hidden in the fine print of their perks, military, including reserves and veterans, Allegiant offers two free checked bags, priority boarding and two carry on items at no cost. When the plane finally arrived, the boarding process was smooth and effortless. The flight to Vegas was took a little over an hour and it was uneventful. No complementary drinks or snack offered but they do offer those service at a cost. **credit cards only. No cash.** My return flight that Sunday was delayed also but not just an hour. It was delayed over three hours. SCENE: Allegiant Air operates out of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport on most days with flight to either Vegas or Arizona. The TSA process at SCK is quick and easy, especially if you have TSA Pre or Global Entry. RECOMMENDATION(S): I'd fly Allegiant Air again but, I'd give myself extra hours for their known delays.

Smooth, fast, clean, & drama free. First time flying with them & I'll NEVER do Southwest again…read more Such an amazing stress free experience & the customer service is soothing.

Then we board at 4:20 only to have an announcement that, once again - we had to fly to Oakland to refuel "due to the wind". WTF JSX? Convenience- yes, service in-flight - great! Reliability - sucks! If you need to be there on-time choose another airline or leave a day before

My husband and I flew through this airline this past day and it appears the previous reviews we…read moreread were absolutely false or other people just have don't know how to look at the brighter side of things. Because We had a blast! Their pilots were awesome and great at their job, flawless landing and take off, we also got to hang out with them before our flight and talk planes and about the Hoover dam (we flew from Vegas to Merced) which was so incredibly cool. Their plane was a PC12 and flew really well and despite the warning of turbulence there really wasn't much to notice, the boutique air staff took amazing care of us in Vegas to Merced and the Merced airport staff/TSA really came in clutch for us while waiting for our next flight. Moving forward would absolutely take flights with them over any major flight line. To be honest, currently dreading our next flight in a few days with AA because it was so nice to be able to enjoy such a flawless flight not in a sardine can with a bunch of other people and the flight feeling more personal and much more professional.

This is a new level of discrimination of people who are not willing to pay extra to have a normal seat. Even if she wanted to pay extra all the "special" seats were taken and when she got to her seat she realized that majority of the seats are empty?!? It's a pure tragedy that Alaska air now bought the Hawaiian. I cannot imagine how much worse it can get and how horrible it would be when they ruin one of the best airlines. I, for sure, will do everything I can to avoid traveling with Alaska air. Shameful and disgraceful.

Most were round trip, few were one way ( I missed my flights) I had to rebook. Allegiant is the best one. 1.many flight times available to choose from but be on time because they leave right on the minute. 2. Most straight forward and consistant with guidelines,policy 3. Prices are what they are, no "hidden fees" be sure to read the fees for baggage seats etc. I have paid as much as 350.00 and as low as 69.87. Allegiant flies into Monterey almost daily. Average price with no baggage is 99.00 round trip. Monterey Airport is so low key the trip can be very easy going making for great vacay.

Not a fan. My family only used this airline in a pinch because the so called friends we were going…read moreto drive with to Las Vegas cancelled everything without consulting with us first because of a huge misunderstanding. We weren't able to get much of a refund with the hotel we booked, so kept the reservation and decided to purchase plane tickets. The tickets were expensive... Fine, that's to be expected since it was last minute and during the holidays. What we didn't expect was that we had to pay for the carry on suitcase AND the boarding pass. They charge $50 for each bag, whether it's carry on or checked, so we combined our stuff into 1 little suitcase. Had we known this was going happen, we could have packed a full size suitcase and checked it in. Or both of us just could have brought a backpack that fits under the seat. A paper boarding pass was $5 each. Have you ever heard of such a thing? The way around that is to download the app & get the pass that way. At least they didn't charge extra when selecting seats. Also, thankfully for both flights, the plane was on time leaving and landing... Which is literally the bare minimum they should do. For the flight back, I downloaded the app so we could have mobile tickets. I tried to add a carry on luggage, but the app wouldn't allow me to do so. At the airport, there was a huge line just to pay for carry on or checked bag with many windows closed, so it took forever to get through. Finally, they opened more windows and let certain folks go first depending on flight departure time. After that, we still needed to get through security. I truly wish I never had to experience this airline and will definitely not be using them ever again.
