Launching a new product at an airline that requires changing the layout of the cabin brings a lot of risk. Allegiant remains convinced its “Extra” seats play is paying off.

Want to save a bit of cash when flying Allegiant? It is possible, thanks to a quirky tax play the airline makes. But it is not without risk of actually paying more for the trip. Ask me how I know.

Allegiant Airlines' A320 departing LAX

Total average fare increased for Allegiant in Q3 2023, but, similar to its ULCC competitors in the US market, the breakdown of those fares shifted. And it is not all good news.

Since December 2021 Allegiant and VivaAerobus have been pursuing antitrust immunity from the US Department of Transportation to operate a transborder joint venture between the US and Mexico. Today that application took a somewhat unexpected turn, with the DOT suspending the procedural review, owing to factors well outside the control of either airline.

Could Allegiant deliver an interline win?

Allegiant typically operates any given route only on limited days of the week. For travelers looking to book a longer or shorter trip, the company loses out on that potential ticket sale. And, more importantly to the business model, it loses out on the associated hotel, rental car, and other ancillary bookings.
