Good luck with this, it happened to me with Air Transat (another small airline)...

I was SOL and tried everything after hours of customer service. Makes me think twice when I book tickets now, pay a little more for better service and less last minute changes so it seems. Keep us posted!

So you are flying Allegiant and you are expecting great customer service, and and some freebies for a change clearly accounted for in the sales contract?

Next your going to stay at the Super 8, and expect a complimentary upgrade to an ocean view suite when your room is not ready until 30 mins after usual check in time.

You get what you pay for. Fly a different Airline if you want better protection. There is a reason the prices are so low.

Hey everyone, currently I'm thinking of going down to Vegas for a five year anniversary and since all of my friends and co-workers have recommended Allegiant for their cheap prices, I'm having 2nd thoughts after reading this thread.

Also, I had another friend that recently travelled with them two weeks ago that had a bad experience because (a) When they landed in Vegas, there were no terminals for the airplane to dock, so they were stuck in the Vegas heat for almost an hour and (b) on the flight home their flight was delayed due to mechanical problems when it was in Fresno, so they ended up having to stay another night.

As well, he said he didn't feel "safe" while in the air with them.

After hearing all of this I'm pretty scared so I was wondering for those of you who have travelled with them Allegiant before, would you do it again, or would you pay the few extra hundred dollars and fly with Alaska Airlines or something similar?

Thanks in advance.

It is cheaper sometimes when you book a long time in advance, when it comes to a couple weeks notice its not that big of a difference.

Along with the airfare you have to keep in mind you gotta drive down there which means gas money, parking fees, along with other BS fees like luggage fees and even carry on baggage fees.

When you factor in all of these things there might only be a small difference in the two and in that case go fly out of YVR. Much more relaxing cause you dont have to factor in border times, how long you have to take to get there and if youll make it in time for all the check in and security waits.
