Guidance to claim Allegiant

Allegiant overbooking: is it legal?
Allegiant Overbooking: When Allegiant sells more tickets than the possible number of passengers they can take.
The overbooking is legal, but you are entitled to a compensation up to € 600.
Allegiant aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, but this must be legally sanctioned.
Once a Allegiant passenger has received a flight ticket or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but Allegiant refuses them access to the plane.
How do I know how long was Allegiant flight delayed?
- Have a Lexority lawyer to tell you how long the Allegiant flight has been delayed without a doubt. Take in to account that the following websites are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- Use the web http://www.flightstats.com/ where if you register you can see the Allegiant status of all flights including those of years ago.
- Another option is entering to https://www.flightradar24.com/ where you can see the last seven days Allegiant flight delays without registering. After registration you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.
Must read: When the Allegiant delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% accurate, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law imposes has to be taken in consideration.
