Allegiant To Buy Six More Airbus A319s

Only wear shorts and t shirt, they charge extra if you have layered clothing on.

This outfit loves to package hotel and flight together so it is difficult to determine what you pay for what. They are also often the airline of choice for travel deals with "free airfare."

I would be worried about using Ex-Cebu Pacific iron that operates mostly in the tropics and has a high number of flight cycles because of all the short duration hops in the PI.

I flew one of their A319's last month, and the seating is a bit tight. Perfect for people that are under 5' 3" @ 90 lbs, but for American's they better recalculate weight and balance.

You can buy a round trip LAX - HNL for less than $300. At 5.8 cents per seat mile does the pilot get paid in pineapples? There certainly is no cash left after the ticket taxes, airport fees, lease payment, and fuel for the trip.

They recently wrote off five nice B757's to concentrate on finding wore out Airbus jalopies. I swear, some peoples' children...

will these have the 'ass-burn-of-death' seats that are installed on the MD-80's?
(it is not that long of a hitch from DSM to LAS, my butt said otherwise...) However, nice to see them growing and updating the fleet.

They aren't overly cheap either. I priced them from Bangor to St Pete/Clearwater for an upcoming trip and by the time you add in baggage fees, pick your seats, pay extra to use a credit card, it was cheaper to fly Delta, by a lot. The rate for a rental car was cheaper than if I got it at TPA, but still wasn't a better deal than what I got on Delta.
