Passengers of Allegiant Air who have faced a flight cancellation or delay have a legal right to compensation. Under EU 261, an airline is obliged to compensate passengers when there is a significant disruption. In this article, we’ll examine your rights and the actions you should follow to receive the compensation you deserve from the airline.

Allegiant Air Flight Delay or Cancellation Compensation

Before claiming the Allegiant Air compensation, you should be aware of the conditions and the amount of compensation you may expect to get in case of delay or flight cancellation.

Allegiant Air Compensation for Flight Delay

According to UK and EU regulations, passengers may be entitled to up to €600 in compensation per person if their flight arrives late. It’s important to note that this flight delay compensation is calculated using the flight’s landing time, not the departure time, so the key to your claim is the actual time you land at your final destination.

Here’s an overview of how much compensation you could be eligible for if your flight is delayed. The amount of compensation varies based on various criteria, including the duration of the delay and the route length of your flight:

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

Remember you may not always be compensated for every flight delay. Allegiant Air is not obliged to compensate passengers when extraordinary circumstances beyond their control happen. This covers severe weather conditions, airport issues, or a strike by air traffic controllers. In these instances, you will usually not be compensated as it is not the airline’s fault.

Allegiant Air Compensation for Flight Cancellation

European Union Regulation 261/2004 states that airlines have to inform passengers of flight cancellations at least 14 days before the scheduled flight. If the airline fails to notify you in time, you could qualify for flight cancellation compensation ranging from €250 to €600 per passenger, based on the distance of the flight. Nevertheless, if the airline provides you with an alternate flight, it may avoid compensation for the cancelled flight if the following conditions are met:

Advance NoticeRe-routing Requirements
14 DaysNone
7 – 13 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

When accepting another flight, passengers retain their entitlement to compensation if they still experience significant delays at their final destination. The amount of compensation is calculated according to two factors: the flight distance and the duration of the delay, in line with the table below:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less
€200€200€400€400€400Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200€200€400€400€400Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

Allegiant Air doesn’t have to compensate you if they provide an alternative flight that departs and arrives near the same time as your original flight. Moreover, you generally won’t receive compensation if the flight is cancelled due to circumstances beyond the airline’s control, such as adverse weather conditions or when airline staff goes on strike.

Are Allegiant Air Flights Covered By EU 261/2004?

EU 261 covers all flights departing from European Union airports. It also covers flights arriving in the EU if the airline originates in the EU. This includes airlines from European Union member states as well as Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland.

However, Allegiant Air is not a European airline. Consequently, they don’t have to pay you compensation if their flights operate outside of Europe. This is true even for their flights to Europe if they start outside the EU.

How to Claim Compensation from Allegiant Air

If your travel plans have been affected by a flight cancellation or delay with Allegiant Air, it’s crucial to know that you might be entitled to compensation under EU laws. For this reason, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the process of claiming compensation. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Fill in this form. You’ll need to provide details including your flight number, date, and the problem you faced.
  • Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will manage the process. We understand the EU laws thoroughly and will strive to secure your compensation. You only pay us if we win your case.

These steps will help you file your claim quickly and increase your chances of receiving the compensation you’re owed. You may have plenty of time after your flight to make a claim, but it’s best to complete it as soon as you can while you still remember all the details.

What You Can Get Besides EU Flight Compensation

Allegiant Air goes the additional mile to help passengers during travel disruptions by offering services that complement flight compensation.

Right to Care

When flight disruptions happen, Allegiant Air is committed to ensuring passenger comfort through the Right to Care provision. The right, established under EU Regulation 261/2004, kicks in when flight delays exceed two hours. The services provided include:

  • Food and Drinks: Passengers are provided with meals and beverages appropriate to the length of delay. This may include vouchers for airport restaurants or direct distribution of snacks and drinks.
  • Communication: Allegiant Air offers two free phone calls, emails, or fax messages to keep passengers connected with family or business contacts.
  • Accommodation: If the delay extends for the night or requires an additional stay, Allegiant Air provides hotel accommodation. This also covers transportation between the airport and the hotel.
  • Special Assistance: Extra care is given to passengers with reduced mobility or special needs.

To access these services, you can simply approach airport staff at the airport for instant assistance.

Rebooking and Refunds

When Allegiant Air cancels a flight, passengers can choose to receive a full refund or rebook on another flight. This option is essential for minimizing travel interruptions and supporting passengers to handle unforeseen circumstances efficiently.

  • Full Refund: if you request a refund, you can receive full reimbursement for the parts of your trip that you didn’t use, including any tickets you only partly used. Also, if the cancellation means your trip no longer serves its original purpose, you may get a flight back to where you first started at the earliest chance.
  • Rebooking: if you choose to continue your journey, Allegiant Air will provide rebooking on the next available flight to your destination. You also have the option to choose an alternative route if there are seats available. If the next available flight is scheduled for the following day or later, Allegiant Air will arrange accommodation and transfers as necessary. Furthermore, you have the right to be rebooked, including in a higher class, at no additional cost to you if that’s the only available option.

It’s essential to keep in mind some additional considerations. If you’re rebooked on a lower class than originally booked, you’re eligible for a partial refund of the cost difference. Furthermore, if your booking involves connecting flights, Allegiant Air shall help in rebooking your entire journey, not just the cancelled segment.

Whether opting for a refund or arranging a new flight, the procedures are designed to ensure this process as smooth as possible, understanding the stress and inconvenience caused by cancellations.
