So, you decided to fly Allegiant Airline from Allentown to Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, huh? Surely, that decision comes with an unparalleled sense of adventure, a sprinkle of humor, and a secret recipe of patience. What an extraordinary amalgamation of emotions! Allegiant, the airplane titan known for its very entrepreneurial idea of having humans pay for things they usually take for granted, like water, and... oh well, air!
Let's enter the world of Allegiant. Here's a preliminary tip: Wrap yourself in bubble wrap, as that'll soften the blow when you realize the padding on Allegiant's economy seats is more symbolic than functional. As close to wooden planks as a seat can be, without being an actual wooden plank. Those good old days when your Grandma would nag about sitting straight like a soldier? Yep, Allegiant makes you relive them, nostalgia is a part of their package it seems!
Speaking of packages, Allegiant boasts a hospitality team armed with an uncanny knack for unarguably creative interpretations of 'hospitality'. Mind you, this isn't merely an interesting anecdote, this is the cornerstone to Allegiant's philosophy! Do you recall that high school gym teacher, the one that took inexplicable joy in seeing you struggle with push-ups? Prepare yourself, they've accessed a time machine and now work as a flight attendant for Allegiant.
Now, we don't believe in supporting stereotypes, but if there's ever a time to adopt the minimalist lifestyle, it is during a flight on Allegiant. Believe me, if you have the audacity to exceed their limit of 7 kg (15 pounds) for a carry-on bag, take a deep breath and prepare your wallet for the thumping it's going to get. It's a surefire way for them to have you reconsider whether you genuinely need both of your kidneys!
Fret not, my fellow voyager, the beverages on offer from Allegiant might just have you seeing the silver lining in an otherwise absurd flight. Water, you ask? Free of cost? Let's keep this between us, they haven’t stumbled upon the concept of free water just yet. But hey, at least bottled water is available there at a price that might have you contemplating turning into a camel for the duration of the flight.
Ah, but there's the champion of character shaping - Allegiant's 'notorious for being mostly late but sometimes painfully punctual' reputation! It's suggested that you pack essential life supplies for waiting at the airport, such as food, water, perhaps a novel or two, and a rudimentary knowledge of survival techniques wouldn't hurt either.
And when you alight at the sun-drenched, beachy paradise that is Destin-Fort Walton Beach, your soul will sing, and all will be forgiven. Allegiant succeeds like no other in making you appreciate your destination. Because no matter how beautiful the destination is, the reminiscing of the flight journey will make it look even more stunning.
So here's to a flight where the onboard experience scales new heights of amusement, and survival skills will be your most valued travel buddy. Remember, Allegiant Airlines is more than a flight, it's a brilliantly designed character test in mid-air. Bon voyage!
