To entice more travelers to fly with Allegiant Travel
Company, the airline announced it will soon offer complimentary inflight
beverage service and a new tier of premium seating.
Starting on August 1, passengers flying with Allegiant will
receive complimentary beverage service— sodas, juice, and water—aboard all flights,
with Allways Rewards Visa cardholders being offered additional options,
including elevated beverages such as coffees, protein shakes, sports drinks,
and alcohol and a mixer.
In addition to the complimentary beverages, the airline
revealed that starting in spring 2027, Allegiant First will offer an upgraded
seating experience that will be phased in on select aircraft.
The new seating class will consist of eight seats,
configured two-by-two in the front of the aircraft, offering travelers more
space. The seats will have a five-inch recline, calf rests, adjustable headrests,
more legroom, a 37-inch pitch, enhanced amenities, and upgraded service
elements.
“This is about giving customers more ways to travel with us,”
Allegiant's Chief Commercial Officer Drew Wells said. “As we bring together two
highly complementary leisure airlines, we see significant opportunity to expand
complimentary and premium offerings in a way that strengthens the customer
experience and supports the long-term growth of the combined company.”
“Travelers are increasingly looking for more comfort, more
personalization and more flexibility, and these new offerings are a meaningful
step forward in delivering that,” Wells concluded.
Allegiant First will also provide passengers with priority
access to check in and board flights, as the fares will include one personal
item, one carry-on bag, and one checked bag (up to 70 pounds).
The new seating options are expected to go on sale
mid-August.
