Allegiant Air — Complete Airline Guide 2026

Las Vegas, Nevada · Founded 1999 · None (ultra-low-cost)

Allegiant Air is a unique ultra-low-cost carrier that specializes in connecting small and mid-size U.S. cities to leisure destinations, often using secondary airports that larger airlines don't serve. Based in Las Vegas, Allegiant focuses on point-to-point routes rather than a hub system, and typically operates a few flights per week on each route rather than daily service. The airline also sells vacation packages (flight + hotel) and is known for very low base fares with add-on pricing for bags and amenities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Allegiant fly to small airports?

Allegiant's business model focuses on connecting small and mid-size cities directly to leisure destinations. Using secondary airports (like Sanford near Orlando or Mesa near Phoenix) keeps costs lower and avoids congestion, passing savings to travelers.

Does Allegiant fly every day?

No — unlike most airlines, Allegiant typically operates each route only a few times per week (often 2–4x/week). This limited-frequency model keeps planes full and fares low. Check schedules carefully when booking.

Is Allegiant Air safe?

Yes. Allegiant is an FAA-certified carrier subject to the same safety regulations and inspections as all U.S. airlines. The airline operates a fleet of Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft.

Does Allegiant sell vacation packages?

Yes, Allegiant offers bundled vacation packages including flights, hotels, rental cars, and attraction tickets through allegiantair.com. These packages can offer savings compared to booking components separately.
