Allegiant Air is dedicated to serving people who live in cold climates, but who want to travel to warm weather tourist destinations. These destinations include places like Tampa Bay, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Los Angeles.
Allegiant flies to destinations where there are few airlines that fly directly to them, and some of those destinations are not served by any other airlines. Some of Allegiant’s markets, like Peoria, require connecting flights to an airport. Allegiant generally chooses routes that limit its competition with smaller airlines.
Allegiant Air has been around for a long time and has expanded quite significantly over this time period. This is something that does not go unnoticed by travelers. Many people believe this is because Allegiant pays their pilots less than many other airlines do, but this could also be because pilots need to be able to fly independently, so there may be some truth to this idea as well.
Why do people with disabilities needs an Emotional Support Animals when traveling?
Emotional Support Animals (ESA) are very good at helping people who have people with disabilities. They have extremely good sense and are willing to do things to make people feel comfortable. People with disabilities tend to have difficulties doing something especially when they’re traveling, but when there is an ESA that can assist them, it makes them feel good again.
Animals that give passengers the companionship they want to have to help them feel safe and comfortable are normally accepted by airlines. Airlines are required to put in place certain regulations governing the transportation of animals on board aircraft.

What are Allegiant Air’s Policies regarding customers bringing their Emotional Support Animals?
DOT (Department of Transportation in U.S.) mandated airlines to accept support animals onboard aircraft as long as airlines had the appropriate paperwork. But, DOT decided that it would no longer be mandatory for carriers to permit emotional support animals on their planes starting January 21, 2021.
In response, Allegiant canceled its policy regarding the transportation of emotional support animals (ESAs) on its planes and only allowed them to transport service animals. Allegiant Air considers emotional support animals as pets as they are not eligible to be service animals.
