How bad is Allegiant?

Dad would probably ride in the cargo hold of a biplane if it'd save him $50.

That's hilarious. The biplane cargo hold would be slower but also probably much warmer!

I'm flying from Chicago Midway direct to Provo on Allegiant for the ISU game this November, it was $112 total round trip. I'll put up with anything for a flight that cheap haha.

Flew out of Provo the other way to Chicago last week for the first time. The new terminal is tiny but nice!

I love to watch the show "Air Disasters" on the Smithsonian Channel. Let's just say it seems like a lot of shows are about "Budget Airlines".
That being said, I've taken Frontier Airlines to Florida and it was fine.

Make sure you have enough time that a delay in departure doesn't have you missing kickoff.

Flown Allegiant many times, much fewer issues than other airlines I've used. Also, seems like lots of airline snobs in this thread.

You’re going in the wrong direction. New York is a hell hole.

Wait, Iowa has airports? I thought we were just fly OVER country?

Can’t recommend an airline that doesn’t have treadmill worthy airplanes.

Best advice is to be cautious with any budget airline for departures after noon. Direct flights only if possible. Depending on the airport, get there early if you have to check a bag (avoid) and because I've seen long security lines around budget airline gates.

Allegiant is great if you're using it for a lightly packed trip to Phoenix for a weekend. I've had way more delays from the big 3 than Allegiant

Why is that? Went again in April and we had a great time with friends visiting from the UK.
