Allegiant Air review by scott 2015-12-27

Allegiants business model is interesting, take the outlying markets and offer direct flights to tourist destinations. This sounds good helping these areas and providing a service right? The problem is they are very shady in their execution with added fees that quickly take those savings away and reliability issues that may leave you a day or more late. If you look for a direct flight from an outlying market its appealing, flying in non-reclining seats so tight you can’t open a book, delayed or rescheduled at their convenience due to aging aircraft, it may be worth the chance. When you get on board the fun continues with what are most likely the rudest staff I’ve ever encountered, budget constraints dictate staff caliber also apparently. The decision is yours ultimately, it may be worth rolling the dice, just build in an extra day on each end for delays and you will likely be fine. ( I looked for the photo of the entire plane up on hydraulic lifts trying to determine a landing gear issue, 8 hour delay and very nervous passengers after watching them scratching their heads outside, we all lived though!)
