Charter Options

One of the most notable features of Allegiant Airlines is the option to charter a plane.

What does that mean, exactly?

When you charter an aircraft, you are basically having your flying experience tailored to your own personal wants and needs. Charter customers rent the entire plane and pay for that plane to be repositioned to their desired location. This service is available in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Customers can select the aircraft type, airports, departure times, and snacks. The snack menu contains over 15 items including Pringles, Blue Diamond Wasabi Almonds, Smoked Gouda Cheese Dip, a hummus snack pack, and more. The beverage menu is also plentiful and offers more than 10 sodas, juices, and teas and about 10 alcoholic beverages as well. Of course a service as elaborate as this one costs more than purchasing a standard ticket; charter rates are determined by scheduling and availability and include all taxes, baggage fees, airport services, snacks and beverages. Exact costs can be figured by contacting the airline's Charter Division.

Canceled and Delayed Flight Assistance

Allegiant Air is not responsible for refunding canceled or delayed flights; however, a positive, helpful policy it does have is that an Allegiant Air representative will assist travelers in finding discounted rates at nearby hotels if a cancellation does occur. If this unfortunate circumstance happens to take place in your travels, then you will at least have some piece of mind knowing that a well-informed Allegiant employee will be there to help minimize cost and inconvenience.

Destinations

One downside to flying Allegiant Air is that only offers scheduled operations within the United States. Even though quite a few domestic US destinations are available, options are limited when considering destinations worldwide.

No Free Snacks

Looking forward to a soda and bag of peanuts? You're out of luck with this airline. Allegiant does provide complimentary snacks and beverages. They are strictly available for purchase. Additionally, Allegiant offers no meal service on any flight, including charter flights. Snack and beverage menus offer a great variety, but snacks just aren't the same as a full-fledged meal.

In-Flight Amenities

In-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi availability are two more crowd-pleasing features that Allegiant does not provide at this time.

No Rewards Program

Frequent travelers appreciate the ability to earn frequent flier rewards, a service Allegiant has yet to offer.

The best way to learn of current promotions is to follow Allegiant on Facebook and Twitter. Individuals can also subscribe to the company's email list to receive alerts on discounted fares and other special offers.

Expensive Insurance

While it's great that Allegiant offers any travel insurance, the cost to benefit ratio is a little off. A bit pricier than other airlines, Allegiant travelers may protect themselves from fees accrued due to changes and/or cancellations by purchasing TripFlex for $75 per passenger. This feature allows customers to make a one-time change to date, flight or destination for no change or cancellation fees, where other travel insurance policies allow for multiple changes at a lower cost.
