Knowing two of their finance people, I agree — frequent traveler programs are nothing but useless fluff to them.
Remember that their primary market isn’t the business traveler — it’s Wayne and Irma going on their annual package vacation with the rest of their bowling league.

I would be surprised to see a frequent flier program from these guys. Those programs cost money, and since Allegiant is the only game in town for most of these city pairs, they don’t need the frequent flier program to get people coming back.

I love Allegiant. When will they have a Frequent Flyer program? Gosh, for $39 one way non-stop from TYS-SFB I’m happy to pay for my bags or seat.

quote: but I believe legacy airlines only like to run airlines like Allegiant out of business and then close the routes afterwards.

That’s why Allegiant should start a marketing campaign stating “Fly us to KEEP us here” It may sound desperate, but if people have a choice on a $90 RT ticket to fly Allegient vs UAL or AA they need to be educated that it’s better in the long term to invest the money in Allegiant for that very reason – long term benefit.

Nice to see Allegiant growing the business to breath life into once busier airports that are starting to see services trickle back all be it on a low cost basis.
I have Friends who live in Cedar Rapids and services to areas like Las Vegas and Florida get good patronage locally.
I expect services to the new hubs like Ft Lauderdale would also be well received.
As you said though how long before someone comes along and spoils the party, I know competition is good for prices but I believe legacy airlines only like to run airlines like Allegiant out of business and then close the routes afterwards.
