Allegiant Air

[rcallbeck]

For our next trip, I've been looking at cheap flights just across the border with Allegiant Air (allegiantair.com). Has anyone flown with them before, and if so, what has your experience been?

Thanks!

Check some of bellybaby's posts - she has flown Allegiant Air before and she had recommended them in her previous posts.

I've flown with them a couple times to Las Vegas. I've never had any problems and staff has always been friendly. It is very bare bones though. All checked bags cost $ and so does your seat selection.

We used them to fly from Grand Forks to Las Vegas last year. We had no difficulties.

Keep in mind that they fly to Sanford and not MCO. That means no ME and you are on the opposite side of Orlando.

Yup, yup, yup! I love my Allegiant Air! It is bare bones, you pay for checked bags and seat selection (you can change your seat to a cheaper one at least, it's a sliding scale, depending how far back in the plane your seats are). Just be careful about the FlexTicket option, it is automatically added to your bill. You have to unselect the box if you don't want it.

We're flying down $69 each way next month, so after taxes and seat selection, it came to about $200 return.

Sanford-Orlando airport is an extra 30 min. drive vs. MCO (Orlando) airport. We sometimes book our car with an offsite agency if our flight comes in before 6 pm or 4 pm on a Saturday. There's a Budget a $10 cab ride away, it saves about $100 on our car vs. at the airport.

Yes....we're pretty economical. More $ for Disney!

No complaints about the service, tho. But DO pay attention to how many tickets are offered at the "sale" price. You can call the 800 #, then book on-line to avoid the "live person ticket lady" fee. Or you can plug in your # of tickets and see how many you can get before the seats go up in price. Example: the web shows a price for $99, you plug in 4 seats, but the price is more expensive than you thought. Odds 1 or 2 seats are regular price, and you bought the last 2 remaining sale seats.

And that's all I have to say about that (Forrest Gump)......

Haven't used them yet, but just booked four $19.99 flights from Fargo in August. Less than $200 one way!! Still gotta find a return flight home, but couldn't pass up those tickets.

Now bring on free dining!!
