I guess they got what they paid for.
Unless there simply weren’t buses available, wouldn’t it have made more sense to land at OAK (Allegiant’s nearest station) and just bus the passengers to Stockton? Or from Fresno (about a 2:15 trip)? Would have probably been cheaper than hotel rooms near LAX and better for the passengers.
Could they not divert to OAK, SMF or FAT? This seems quite ridiculous to me, as there were a ton of options available that would have been far better than flying down to LAX and dumping the pax there. Yet another reason not to fly Allegiant – as if we needed another one…
