About Allegiant Air,  Sktrax left the following review: “A low-cost airline providing basic and reasonable service standards. Seat comfort is quite normal with a 30-inch seat pitch, plus a few extra legroom seat options. Buy onboard F&B choice is very limited. Cabin service is functional and efficient, it is in the airport where many customers get caught/charged for not complying with strict baggage rules.”
