Flyer Reviews of the Allegiant Air

My wife and I booked a flight from Palm Springs California to Bellingham Washington. Then we booked another flight a week later for my daughter to join us at the same location. Just a few days before she was scheduled to depart Palm Springs and head to Washington Allegiant arbitrarily canceled her flight partially ruining our vacation. Some days later with us being up in Bellingham Washington Allegiant canceled our flight arbitrarily to return his home to Palm Springs. We rescheduled a flight for 3 Days later then Allegiant canceled that one as well. Allegiant arbitrarily canceled all flights from Bellingham Washington to Palm Springs claiming fuel shortages. Alaska airlines flies out of Bellingham Washington into Palm Springs also but none of their flights were canceled. Allegiant offered no real reasons for canceling the flight and no compensation for our trouble. After arguing with their lying rude representatives for days we ultimately arranged another flight from Bellingham Washington into Los Angeles airport, which is over 100 miles away from where our car was parked at Palm Springs airport. Allegiant was not concerned with how we would get from LAX to Palm Springs to get our car. From this point on I will only consider them to be a cut rate company with low achieving customer satisfaction. Anyone considering flying Allegiant should think about our plight and decide if it's worth the trouble of or risk that they may encounter the same customer no service that we did. I would burn a $100 bill before booking on Allegiant again and I really like them

No window on this row, and on one flight (same seat for both flights) an intermittent lavatory smell was a problem - I believe however that this issue affected several rows, not just the last one. On the flight back however there were no problems. Two closets both in the tail, not a shared wall with the last row. Otherwise, I like Allegiant seating. Back support much better than Delta, for example, and I feel less claustrophobic with the slimline seats. Have not had "cush" issues but then these flights tend to be shorter hops. Tray tables are skimpy - not going to work for a laptop, but fine for setting up a tablet/cell phone. The difficulty comes in sharing that little space then with a cocktail and snacks. Noise is a little loud back here, can't hear the announcements for example, and once or twice had a difficulty hearing my show via my earbuds, but for comparison, not as bad as an MD-88. As always, friendly flight attendants. I fly Delta, Southwest, and Frontier as well regularly...and Allegiant consistently gives me the best overall experience.

The Allegiant Boeing 757 is retired now, but my review is from May 2017. I was fine, being 5 foot I have average legroom, but not bad. I was comfortable the whole flight.

Better than most - this exit row seat has extra legroom; no under-seat stowage during takeoff and landing; may be missing an armrest.
[Seat 12A on a Airbus A319]

seatlink
This is a good seat to choose, has extra legroom; no underseat stowage; traytable in armrest means narrower seat.
[Seat 3E on a Airbus A319]

Recommend this seat over others, has extra legroom; no underseat stowage.
[Seat 3F on a Boeing 757-200]

This is a good seat to choose, this exit row seat has extra legroom; no under-seat stowage during takeoff and landing.
[Seat 12B on a Airbus A320]

Definitely better seats to sit in, may have limited recline; near the lavatory.

Look elsewhere, near the lavatory.
