      4/12/2025 Flight was booked for two adults and two ******** to the airport on 5/16/2025. Was told that our pet carriers were too big. No problem, was going to buy a smaller one and they re booked us to 5/19.On 5/17 and 5/18, we were trying to locate carriers that were within their parameters of 18" L x 14" W x 8" H. Could not find any on any website (amazon, chewy, *******, etc). Called customer service, they basically told us to get one bigger than the parameters, and it was up to the discretion of the gate agent. I told them this was not an acceptable answer, because I want certainty that when I show up to a flight, I would be able to get on with my carriers. The policy recently changed from a 9" height of carriers to an 8" inch height. The smallest carrier that I was able to find was 8.5". Not to mention, when I called customer service, the automated message still says the height of the carrier can be 9 inches.Called customer service multiple times, and they would hang up on me and argue with me. I was offered a refund for $224 as a "one time courtesy". I said I appreciated it and I asked if there was any way to get refunded the entire amount because of the situation with the carriers. I was put on hold, and when they came back they said "we reviewed everything again, and we cannot give you any refund now." When I said that does not make sense, he said "it was a one time courtesy, not a two time". I was in the middle of explaining why I was unhappy with this and he hung up on **** rated my customer service call a 0.I have an issue with the fact that they charge for pets, changed the parameters of the pet policy, and do not give any assistance or solution in finding something that is in compliance with the airline.

      I got a round trip flight for $70.04 leaving on Sep 12, 2024 from ********** **, to ******** **. It returned on Dec 09, 2024 to ********** ** from ******** **. The issue I need resolved is the overcharge on baggage. I do everything in the app and sent a copy of my receipt showing one way my bag cost $ 75 and going back it cost $ 37. This is the same bag both ways and the same card was used. I was not informed of the price difference and would not have paid that when the whole flight was $70.04. This is very misleading and want the difference of $38 back. I have tried multiple times to resolve this with no success so far. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated!

      This is a valid charge. Bags were not added to reservation before arriving to the airport. The bag fee to add a bag at the airport is $75.00. To add a bag online or through the *** before arriving to the airport is a charge of $37.00. This charge is valid and will not be reversed.

      My family and I purchased 4 seats (19A , 19B, 19C and 20B) on reservation C5HSVP. And my in-laws purchased seats 20A and 20C. All 6 seats were purchased with the intent to assist in the travel of two children ages 3 and 1. We purchased the seats for children to have space and for safety. All six seats were purchased together in back to back rows. Upon arrival to the airport and check in we still had those seats we purchased. Just prior to boarding we were called over the loud speaker to come to the agent. The gate agent then told us we were being moved from the seats that we paid for to accommodate kids (unpaid) of other passengers. Seats 19A, 19B, 19C remained unchanged. One seat (20B) was moved to 20F. The window seat of the row behind which would not allow assistance for children. Seats 20A and 20C were moved to row 3 and 14. The airline did not allow us to use the seats we purchased. And broke up our party that was to facilitate the safe travel of children. The children were forced to sit together with one adult in the row increasing safety risks should an incident occur.

      Hello *******,


      Thank you for contacting Allegiant.

      I am so sorry that you did not get to sit in the seat you originally purchased. While I cannot undo the circumstances, I have issued a refund for the seat selection fee on this flight. Please allow 7-10 business days for the $98 refund to post back to the original form of payment. I have also forwarded a copy of your confirmation/receipt, showing the refund.

      We hope you will grant us the opportunity to provide a more pleasant travel experience the next time you fly. Please feel free to contact us if you require further assistance.

      I have an allways account that was hacked or given to another person with the same name. I have been a customer for many years now. They lost all my info and credits for travel. They tell me I flew in December from places I haven't been or flew and refuse to recover credit. Also, I was told to open a new account. And forget my account I used.

      On April 14, 2025 I flew from ******, ** to ********, ** (confirm #JY1E7A, ) with my disabled son *****, whom we adopted from ****** on Allegiant flight # G4 3783. He has a personal bag that he keeps his seizure medication, blanket and stuffed animal in. The same case he has used for the past 6 years on countless flights including dozens on Allegiant. We have never been forced to check his bag or pay for it at any time since it has fit inside every airline measuring apparatus. The gate agent (*******) at ************** was extremely rude and the second she saw my son said 'I'd have to pay for it' without measuring it. When i explained to her he always travels with it including on Allegiant and it fits into every airline measuring apparatus over the last 6 years on dozens and dozens of flights she said 'fine - now he will have to check it in and pay $75. Passengers before and after my son were allowed to bring their larger bags on board the plane (I have pics of his bag and other bags that were allowed on the flight without charge). This is selective enforcement which is discriminatory and illegal. I could only hope it wasn't because my son is Asian and/or disabled. I am requesting a refund and will never fly with Allegiant out of their ************** again unless this situation is addressed and depending on how this is handled will decide my next steps as well.

      We are extremely disappointed to learn that the service you received from a counter agent did not meet your expectations.

While I cannot undo the circumstances, this matter has been shared with the appropriate department leadership for internal follow up to ensure that any necessary corrective counseling is provided.

      I apologize for any misunderstanding regarding your medical and personal bags. I have issued you a refund for this fee. Please allow 7-10 days for the $75 refund to post back to the original form of payment. I have also forwarded a copy of your confirmation/receipt, showing the refund.

      Re: Request for Compensation Due to 3+ Hour Delay and Hardship Flight 699 on April 12, 2025 Dear Allegiant Customer Care,I was a first-time passenger on Allegiant Flight 699 from **** (***) to ***** (BOI) on April 12, 2025. Our flight, originally scheduled for 6:38 PM, was delayed until at least 10:00 PM due to a mechanical issue requiring multiple engine inspections resulting in a new aircraft. We were deplaned and left waiting for hours with minimal communication.I am a disabled parent traveling alone with two young childrenmy 8-year-old son with special needs and my 4-year-old daughter. The extended delay created tremendous hardship for us. No meal vouchers were offered, and we had to spend over $50 on an unplanned and overpriced airport meal just to get through the evening.Though water was reportedly made available, by the time we reached the counter, all bottles had already been taken and there was nothing leftleaving us without even basic accommodations.This experience was incredibly taxing for a family already managing disability and special needs while traveling. Given that the delay was controllable and exceeded three hours, I respectfully request appropriate compensation in the form of a travel voucher or goodwill credit for the inconvenience and additional expenses incurred.Thank you for your time and consideration.Sincerely,***** ******* **** Confirmation #: QE2PUH Flight 699 April 12, 2025 ************************** ************

      Hello *****,

      Thank you for contacting Allegiant, I hope youre having a great day!

      I am so sorry for the inconvenience you experienced due to this delay. We absolutely recognize how important it is to get you to your destination on time. Unfortunately, daily operational challenges sometimes interfere with our schedules, with little notice. Please be assured that in the event of a delay, we do everything we can to handle the concern as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Our top priority is to get each and every one of our passengers to their destination on time, but we will never sacrifice safety to meet an on-time departure or arrival. 

      As a gesture of our concern, each passenger on flight 699 has been issued a $25 dollar-off voucher for future travel. Please note that Allegiant determines compensation on a flight basis and offers consistently per itinerary, and these vouchers are the maximum amount of compensation that will be considered. Here are your voucher numbers:

      DO86B7-5730-F86C-6883 for $25

      DOA4C6-E3DB-16CB-3480 for $25

      DO9F2C-0852-B46A-0038 for $25

      Dollar-off vouchers are one-time use only, and once applied to a reservation, any remaining funds are forfeited. All travel involving this voucher must be booked and completed by Apr 10, 2026. Expiration dates cannot be extended.

      Complaint: 23194761

      Dear ******,

      Thank you for your reply and for acknowledging the inconvenience caused by the significant delay on Flight 699 on April 12, 2025.

      While I appreciate Allegiants recognition of the disruption with the $25 vouchers per passenger, I must respectfully share that the offered compensation does not come close to addressing the actual financial and emotional impact this delay created for my family and me.

      As a disabled parent traveling alone with an 8-year-old special needs child and a 4-year-old, the nearly four-hour delay caused much more than a scheduling inconvenience. As a direct result of the delay:

      I incurred a $49.99 rental car no-show fee because we arrived after the rental agency closed


      I had to pay $50+ for an unplanned, overpriced airport meal to care for my children during the delay


      I was forced to take a $50 **** to our lodging since no rental car was available upon our delayed arrival


      I lost a full day of prepaid rental car usage
      I endured significant physical stress managing two young children under extremely difficult conditions, while also living with a chronic illness

      In total, I incurred over $150 out-of-pocket in immediate, unavoidable expenses directly because of Allegiants controllable delaynot to mention the substantial emotional toll this placed on our family.

      Given these facts, I respectfully request:

      A full refund of the $270 airfare
      Further compensation to fairly offset the additional expenses and hardship caused by this situation

      The small travel vouchers offered do not adequately resolve the real financial burden that was placed on me and my family. I remain hopeful Allegiant will take full responsibility and make this situation right.


      Thank you for your time and reconsideration. I look forward to your response.

      Sincerely,
      ***** ******* ****

      Cash was stolen from my checked baggage.The check-in agent said my carry-on had to be checked because I had a pocketbook and carry-on bag. I thought pocketbook and proper sized carry-on are allowed. [Many of the other passengers I flew with had one carry-on bag PLUS a pocketbook]. Because this was a last minute change and a very hurried process, I did not have the opportunity to properly scrutinize contents of my bag. In the side pocket was my anniversary card, inside of which were 2 scratch-off lottery tickets and a $50 bill paperclipped to them. Upon arriving home Monday when I checked the side pouch all were missing- card, money and tickets. Your policy says any "checked baggage is the sole responsibility of the Carrier." I would have been responsible for my own belongings had I not been made to check the bag. Allegiant is responsible to customers to have reliable, safe ground operators--not thieves!

      I had a some rubber boots that made my bag over the limit. They wouldnt let me take them out of the bag and carry them or dispose of them. I didnt have to take them and yet no other options. That is s horrible. Even *** will let you remove an item. But the airline forces me to take them. I question whether I will ever fly with Allegiant in the future. A refund should be given and if I do fly again, I want some form of a discount. I also saw on BBB, that your airline isnt on the accredited list.

      Hi there,

      Thank you for contacting Allegiant. 

      We are extremely disappointed to learn that the service you received from our agents did not meet your expectations. All of our team members are expected to be professional, respectful, and assist however they can to provide a satisfactory travel experience. While I cannot undo the circumstances, this matter has been shared with the appropriate department leadership for internal follow up to ensure that any necessary corrective counseling is provided.

      Unfortunately all bags or what is taken is reviewed at the counter therefore no refund can be due back. This is to maintain consistency with our policies and passengers.

      We hope you will grant us the opportunity to provide a more pleasant travel experience the next time you fly. Please feel free to contact us if you require further assistance.
      Best Regards,
      Customer Relations Representative

      Date of purchase: 11/3/2024 Amount Paid: $114 We were scheduled to leave 3/31/2025 at 6:38 pm. Instead, we got pushed back to 7:13pm, then 8:12pm, then 8:52pm, then 9:35pm and then to 11:20am the next day. Because of the inconvenience we incurred, the gate agent contacted her supervisor and manager on duty. They called us all together and offered us $100 credit voucher sent to our email on file and $12 food voucher we were supposed to pick up the morning of the new flight. We had to pay $125 for an overnight hotel and when we arrived back at the airport we were told no of that was happening. I had spent my last money to get something to eat the day before and was very hungry (a diabetic) when I arrived at the airport. I was so discussed with the airline staff. We were lied to time and time again. When I asked the agent about the vouchers, she said they were printing them out now. A little bit later, I went back over to the agent and asked about the vouchers. She said we are not getting them. My heart dropped to the ground and I wanted to lash out at her but did not. I had to wait until my flight landed (1:24pm) to get something to eat cause I couldnt afford the food at the airport. I had to settle drinking water until I arrived home. We should be compensated in some way for being lied to and inconvenienced. I will not be flying with Allegiant Air anytime soon.

      Complaint: 23171276

      I am rejecting this response because:  we were actually told we were going to receive the Compensation. If we were not told we werent receive anything, I would be OK with that, but we were all called together up to the agent desk and told we were going to receive this compensation. I do not agree that nothing will be done.

      Sincerely,

      Hello ******,

      I am so sorry for the inconvenience you experienced due to this disruption. We absolutely recognize how important it is to get you to your destination on time. Unfortunately, daily operational challenges and weather sometimes interfere with our schedules, with little notice. Please note that Allegiant determines compensation on a flight basis and offers consistently per itinerary. Unfortunately, itineraries from flight 529 are not eligible for compensation. As this disruption was due to weather, passengers are responsible for the cost of their arrangements. For more information regarding federal compensation guidelines, we recommend reviewing consumer fly rights on the **************************** website at ***********************************************************;   

      Regarding the meal vouchers, if there was no time to print and distribute before boarding, the vouchers would not be issued. Meal vouchers can only be issued from the airport on the day of the disruption. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to welcome you back someday.

      Thank you for choosing Allegiant.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The staff and management should be skilled on knowing how to handle these situations so that they dont give out the wrong information to the customers. I accept your reasoning but the meal voucher really got to me cause I am diabetic and need to eat instead of waiting around on some lie that the agent told us that never happened until it was time to board.

      Sincerely,

      On April 4th I was supposed to fly out of VSP to CVG. The flight was delayed over an hour. The pilot said they couldn't fly out of ***** because there was a bus behind the plane. Once they got to VSP we couldn't take off and set in the plane for an extended period of time. Waiting on the return of a log book because there had been a problem with the plane. I tried to contact allegiant and they said that if I had a complaint to do it online. When I tried to do it online it tells me to call and it leaves me on hold. I had to spend money eating at the airport that wasn't intended. And there is no customer service. You just get the runaround. I have used this airline for decades. I think it is time for a change. I understand sometimes things go wrong but when you can't even get any satisfaction in trying to communicate with the airline. That is totally unacceptable!
