About Allegiant Air& Overview
History, operational network & fleet detailsAllegiant Air is an American ultra-low-cost leisure carrier operated by Allegiant Travel Company. Based in Summerlin, Nevada, near Las Vegas, the airline specializes in linking secondary, smaller regional airports across the United States directly to popular vacation hotspots without routing passengers through congested traditional hubs.
Travelers rely on Allegiant for affordable, point-to-point nonstop flights connecting small-to-midsize communities to warm-weather getaways and entertainment destinations, including Florida, Las Vegas, Arizona, and the Mountain West. Allegiant’s unbundled pricing model gives passengers the option to purchase only the base transportation or add ancillary services like assigned seating, priority boarding, and baggage as needed.
This FareWander directory provides verified, practical operational details to help you prepare for an Allegiant flight. Below, you will find concise summaries of Allegiant's baggage requirements, check-in deadlines, cabin offerings, fare packages, and ticket rules, along with direct links to our dedicated child pages for in-depth policy breakdowns.
Established in 1997 as WestJet Express and rebranded as Allegiant Air in 1998, the airline operates on a distinct ultra-low-cost business model tailored almost entirely to domestic leisure travel. Unlike major network airlines that funnel traffic through massive connecting hubs, Allegiant operates a point-to-point network connecting regional hometown airports—many of which lack nonstop commercial service from major carriers—directly to leisure corridors.
The airline runs a seasonal, low-frequency schedule on many routes, flying specific city pairs twice or three times weekly rather than multiple times per day. Mainline flights operate using an all-narrowbody fleet consisting primarily of Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft, alongside the introduction of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to modernize fleet efficiency. Allegiant is independent and does not belong to any global airline alliance.
Allegiant Air Flights & Fares
Route Network & Flight Ranges
Allegiant sells exclusively point-to-point itineraries. All listed flights are scheduled as nonstops, meaning the airline does not market traditional multi-leg connecting itineraries or transfer luggage between flights.
Seasonality & Booking Timing
Because flight frequencies are calibrated around leisure travel peaks (concentrating heavily around Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays), schedules vary significantly by day of the week and season. Base fares represent pure air transportation; any additional convenience—such as cabin baggage, hold luggage, beverages, or seat reservations—is sold separately. To avoid additional counter charges, travelers are encouraged to add optional services during initial booking.
