Ryan WorkmanMarch 8, 2012Allegiant Air doesn't let you check in more than 2 hours before flight so don't come too early.
Angela JanneyOctober 24, 2011Very long check in and security moves very slowly. Plan to get here a couple hours early
Kari Kerns-WymanNovember 18, 2012Long lines at baggage check and security check bag weight if you dont want to pay xtra
Erin DMay 15, 2013I will never fly Spirit again. No wonder they're being sued for billions! I would comment on their horrible customer service, but the fact of the matter is that it does not exist!- Ryan WorkmanMarch 5, 2012Plan on waiting at least an hour for your luggage on the late allegiant flights.
Jenny KNovember 14, 2011The outside security is worse than any big airport. They were very rude when I pulled over to adjust my seats for luggage & I'm clearly pregnant. No cell phone lot, just a mess when busy!!
Terrible waits and the planes suck but it's cheap. Watch out the bag wait limit is now 40 pounds and they charge between 20 and 35 bucks for a carry on! Bullshit!
Meg TisingerJune 25, 2018TSA is joke at this airport. They don’t know how to direct a queue, half stand around, the other half power trip. Cute airport, but get their super early to go through security.
HUGE lines take long time for check in AND security. never again will I fly out of here.
I thought Sky Harbor baggage claim was bad, this is seriously the freakin WORST. Prepare 2 wait an hour. Literally.
Mekita RivasMarch 22, 2013Beware of Spirit Airlines! Terrible check-in/carry-on policy and even worse customer service!
YayaJanuary 30, 2012It took almost an hour to get our luggage...I hope this is not a common practice at Allegiant Air.
