About Allegiant Air
Allegiant Air: Affordable Travel to America's Vacation Hotspots
Allegiant Air stands out in the U.S. airline industry as a low-cost carrier with a unique business model: connecting underserved cities directly to popular leisure destinations. Founded in 1997 and based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Allegiant offers nonstop flights that avoid traditional hubs, saving travelers both time and money.
Unlike most airlines, Allegiant focuses on point-to-point routes a few times a week, allowing it to reduce costs and pass the savings on to customers. It flies to over 120 destinations, often linking smaller regional airports to sunny getaway spots like Las Vegas, Orlando, Phoenix, Myrtle Beach, and many others.
Allegiant’s pricing is ultra-transparent and unbundled. The base fare includes your seat and a personal item, while other options—like carry-ons, checked baggage, seat selection, and onboard snacks—are available à la carte. This lets travelers pay only for what they use, making it a smart choice for budget-conscious flyers.
The airline primarily operates a fleet of Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft, providing a reliable and efficient travel experience. Allegiant is also investing in airport and aircraft upgrades, along with a more user-friendly booking system and digital tools.
For frequent vacationers, Allegiant offers the Allegiant World Mastercard®, which lets users earn points redeemable for flights, hotels, and rental cars. In addition, travelers can bundle services like hotels, car rentals, and show tickets at booking for additional savings.
With its focus on leisure travel, Allegiant is ideal for families, retirees, and weekend adventurers seeking an affordable escape without the hassle of layovers or major airport crowds.
From small-town runways to sun-soaked beaches, Allegiant Air connects you to fun, for less.
