    Hours of Operation are between 4:00am - 11:00pm Pacific Time, 7 days a week.
    You had a toll free number. What happened?
  • We offer very affordable fares to all of our markets. In order to offer these fares, we have chosen to reduce our costs by discontinuing our toll free number.
    Will I be receiving tickets in the mail?
  • Allegiant is a ticketless (or e-ticket) airline. When a passenger makes a reservation online or over the phone, that passenger will be issued an itinerary number. That itinerary number must be taken to the check-in counter at the airport on the day of departure.
    Do I need to confirm my reservation 24 hours prior to departure?
  • Allegiant does not over book its flights, so there is no need to confirm your reservation. If there is a schedule change, our Schedule Change department will contact you.
    What are the rules for booking a reservation over the phone or online?
  • To provide the lowest fares possible Allegiant requires full payment at the time of reservation booking. Allegiant does not discount round-trip tickets, as each flight is priced by segment.
    Do I need to book my flight in advance?
  • Allegiant does not require advance purchases. Allegiant does not over book its flights, so every passenger is guaranteed a seat. However, all reservations booked within two hours of scheduled departure must be booked at the airport.
    Can I make changes to my reservation online?
  • No, all changes must be done over the phone by contacting Allegiant's Customer Care department at 1-702-505-8888.
    How do I view and print my itinerary receipt for my flight?
  • A confirmation will be sent via email after the reservation is purchased. A request for a confirmation to be resent can be made by contacting Allegiant's Customer Care Department at 1-702-505-8888.
    Do I need a paper ticket to travel?
  • No, Allegiant works with e-tickets. No paper tickets are issued.
    How many passengers can be booked on a single itinerary?
  • Up to nine (9) passengers may be booked on a single itinerary. To book ten (10) or more passengers, please contact Allegiant's Groups Department at 1-702-505-8888.

    If I have a reservation, how far in advance can I fly standby?
  • Allegiant does not offer standby travel.
    What if the fare drops on a ticket after I have already purchased it?
  • The desire for the lowest possible fare is understandable; however, Allegiant unfortunately cannot refund or credit fare differences after a reservation has been made. When the original ticket is purchased, via the web or by a reservations agent, the purchaser of the ticket is prompted or asked if they agree to the following terms and conditions in order to purchase the ticket: "All tickets are non-refundable, one-way, and ticketless". This is because Allegiant unfortunately cannot control when a passenger will book their flight. Allegiant also does not have advance knowledge of when specials will be offered. The fluctuation in a fare may also be caused by cancellations, and since Allegiant does not overbook its flights, a seat may become available at a lower price.
    Does Allegiant offer bereavement fares?
  • Allegiant does not offer any type of bereavement fare. In order to keep our low fares, and to continue our service in select markets, it is our policy to no longer offer bereavement fares. Allegiant's prices are quite competitive and some of the best in the industry.
    Does Allegiant offer any kind of medical exceptions?
  • In an effort to keep our fares low for all passengers and to stay competitive, Allegiant does not offer medical exceptions. Allegiant does apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However; Allegiant does offer low fares in all markets that are served.

    1. Canceling your itinerary
    2. Changing the date(s) of travel
    3. Changing the name(s) on your itinerary

    Can I bring my own alcohol onboard?
  • The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires any alcohol consumed onboard be served by an Allegiant In-flight crew member.
    Does Allegiant have seat assignments?

Those passengers that do not wish to pay for seat assignments will still have their seats assigned by the airport ticket agents on the day of flight.

However, the best way to ensure that passengers who wish to sit together will be able to sit together is to pre-purchase a seat assignment.

British Airlines, they've never been late for me, however British Airways Cancellation Policy is straightforward. Subsequent to looking at such a huge amount about cancellation strategy, at last, I got an answer via Airlinespolicy.com. They have fresh, short, and important data about alteration, wiping out, registration, Baggage, and Pet policy. They helped me a ton during the brutal Covid-19 time. I'm extremely grateful to the group of airlinespolicy.
