I drive.

Allegiant is the only airline that flies direct from here but they only fly certain days of the week, and my arrival time would be like 11 PM Vegas time, feeling like 1 AM to me. Not worth it. People always ask why I fly Frontier or AA, and it is because I can choose better flight times on the days I want to fly. So I might have a 40 min layover in Denver...I will still arrive in Vegas at a much more productive time of the day. So, no Allegiant for me!

You will now be charged between $15 and $35 for any bag that must go in the overhead compartment. I hope that their reservations plummet after this announcement so it does not fly.

When you see all the fees that will be charges on Allegiant including the booking fees, the beverage fees and the like, you quickly realize that you save a ton booking on Southwest or Frontier.

Lets see 3 to 5 days in Vegas on vacation 2 bags of luggage $40.00 each way $80.00 X two people $160.00. I can go to wall mart buy clothes cheap toss them before leaving and have $$$ left over. It may be smarter to have your clothing shipped out UPS or Fed EX and shipped back. Heck you can even order your stuff on line at a clothing store in Vegas and have it waiting for you when you get there. The airlines are pricing themselves out of business but that is going to hurt LV and the number of tourist arriving. Wonder why more regulations are being made each year to control these corporations and they just cry foul.

They know that they are going to collect this fee almost without exception. How many people travel without any luggage at all?
