Every Allegiant Air flight I've ever taken has been delayed. This flight was delayed a full 2 hours. It was excuse after excuse after excuse. It was a flight from southern Florida. They made us board the plane on time, but made us wait for 2 hours on the tarmac. Because the engines were kept shut off, so was the air conditioning. One can only imagine how hot the air was in the cabin over those 2 hours on the tarmac, while in the hot Florida sun. Just terrible.

Actually, for the price, I'm willing to put up with a little discomfort (upright chairs) and at times inconveniences (like any airline), lack of entertainment (I can bring my own). My flight was non stop and smooth. I would fly this route again.

The flight was delayed 6 hours and we were only offered an $8 food credit. My husband stood in line to get the credit for 45 minutes and when he got close to the end of the line the computers went down.

Worst ever! Flight cancelled supposedly for weather even though we k ow of many others who flew into Bangor same time no problem. At the airport there was no customer service at all just refund and no possibility of rebook for 3-4 days. Aweful won’t fly with them again!!

It’s a budget airline so adjust expectations accordingly. Nothing is without a fee but such is necessary for tickets to remain so affordable.

No complaints. It’s a budget airline so can’t expect any frills.

My TSA number was missing from my ticket which shouldn’t have happened since it’s in my file. The on board flight attendant who was a male, did not want to help me put my luggage in the overhead bin and made a very rude comment and was very unpleasant. The good… the woman who fixed my ticket with the TSA number was excellent and I had extra legroom which was perfect.

My daughter dropped her cell phone right through the crack between walkway and plane. Right in front of myself, the lead flight attendant and crew below. In slow motion we all watched. The crew was on it as they got her phone back to her. Surprisingly, not damaged! This same head flight attendant was hilarious on the speaker! Loved his humor! Pilots were very clear to hear. Sometimes there’s a lot of noise interference or they sound muffled, but this time I could understand everything that was spoken. One more positive experience was renting a car through Allegiant which was my first time. We got a great car deal through Alamo and the car was really nice too, 2024 Blazer.

We waited for our captain to arrive and she made our flight take off 20 minutes late.

The staff was friendly, helpful and nice to the customers! What a nice experience- especially flying Toledo to St. Petersburg Fla nonstop and back !

The boarding time. I was in Section 1 the lady in charge just let people in section 3 without see us. Make a line , I have to step out and ask her. We were in the line and she just take my ticket and that’s it, so if I don’t ask her she could leave us at the end! We paid more for that privilege and. She doesn’t care….

See my previous comment which is mostly about our flight from Phoenix to SFO

The check in at the airport was awful. Told I need to pay for a bag. The item was taken at screening. I went back to get my $ back and they gave me a coupon with a QR code that doesn’t work. Worst costumer service ever!!!!!

4 hour delay because they used our aircraft to fly a different segment (per the captain)

Lost baggage on my connecting flight. 24 hours later, still no update on my bags.

As per ultra-low-cost-carrier model, you must adjust to a minimalist approach (or, pay-as-you-go mentality) when evaluating Frontier. That said, here's the pro/con of this trip. PROs Pricing. Incredibly cheap: $30 roundtrip(!!) PDX-PHX. Hard to complain. Schedule: Direct both ways. Pilot made up time and we got in 15-20 mins early each way. Aircraft. Frontier flies Airbus metal, and the aircraft are pretty new. Seating. Airline status-match got me upgraded 'Stretch' seating (their premium economy). *Excellent* legroom. The leather trimmed seats were adequately comfortable. Some of these upgraded seats have recline (this flight did not), and larger tray tables. Compared to standard Frontier economy, which has very tight seating, and ridiculously small tray tables, it was quite nice. Aircrew: The flight attendants on both legs were top tier. Experience, confidence, and customer service skills exceeded what I have seen on the legacy carriers. This is not always true with Frontier, but this team was exemplary. Food-for-sale. Frontier offers no complimentary snacks/bevs except ice water. Purchased a cheese pack and it was adequate and about as expensive as you'd see on a legacy carrier. CONs No power at seats. True on all Frontier flights, but a bummer nonetheless. Bring a battery. No inflight entertainment. Load your own offline before flying. No wifi available. Honestly, with Frontier's upsell model, it still surprises me they don't equip their planes for this and use it as a revenue stream. Heck, for a $30 rt flight, I'd probably have paid $10-15 each way for wifi + movies. Overall, you know going in about the CONs of the carrier model, so really the complaints are minor. I had a day trip to Phoenix for a $30 flight. Great value.

I had to cancel within 1hour of the reservation an they put you through hell to . no live customer service desk. I'm handy caped and they make it almost impossible to cancel. They are steeling my money. You should not have that airline on your site. Contact me and I will give you all info. Of what the are doing to me just notable treatment they are set up like that to take people

They didn’t bother to restock the plane before we left, so most items on the menu were not available.

absolutely horrific. delayed flights, overbooking. over charging. nightmare service beyond words. stay away.

My husband didn't get boarded on this flight. He was asked to pay $50 extra by the Frontier staff to get two boarding passes for check-in at the Las Vegas airport. He refused to pay this extra $50 charge and tried to do check-in online by himself but it seemed to be late with only 7 mins left. It ended up that my daughter and my husband missed the 7-minute time window. They had to take the next non-direct flight which took more than 12 hours from Las Vegas to San Francisco, a very poor experience for them.
