Allegiant Air Pet Policy

Allegiant Air Pet Policy : It’s never easy to leave your pet alone for an extended period of time, and this becomes more difficult when traveling outside of the city by plane, as most airlines do not allow pets to fly in a cabin.

Passengers who have booked a ticket with Allegiant Air, on the other hand, are allowed to fly with their dogs. However, it would help to familiarize yourself with Allegiant Airlines Pet Policy before booking your travel because there are some limits and requirements.
