So, you've decided to take the leap and fly with Allegiant Air from Bangor to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Buckle up, intrepid traveler, because we're about to embark on an epic airborne adventure filled with laugh-your-socks-off facts and indispensable tips.
First, just between us, Allegiant Air doesn't really come with an onboard celebrity chef specializing in haute cuisine, nor a stow-away compartment full of plush unicorn onesies as rumored. Instead, you'll get dedicated services that have eons less glitter but are way more important for your journey. Trust me, the unicorn onesie can wait.
It's not Hogwarts, but the Allegiant Air isn't shy in flaunting its range of in-flight entertainment. Cast your expectations towards alcohol, soft drinks, snacks, and music. Do keep in mind, though, that the free-flowing champagne towers we all dream about are yet to be installed in economy class. A minor oversight I’m sure.
One pro-tip: the more eccentric your snack order, the longer it may take to reach you. Asking for a gluten-free, sugar-free, peanut-free, vegan, halal, kosher, paleo granola bar might make the flight attendants break into a cold sweat. And we wouldn’t want to delay the inflight game of bingo now, do we?
Moving on to the luggage situation, Allegiant Air has something similar to the Bermuda triangle policy. Your baggage can be checked, carried, or delivered for a fee. If you're a chronic over-packer like Aunt Edna and her kitchen sink, checked luggage is your best friend. If you're one of those ultra-minimalists who can fit their life into a matchbox, carry-on will do. And for the ones in-between? Delivery is your savior. Just don’t expect it teleported straight to your hotel.
Transit at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is a breeze, too. The airport greets you with open arms, well, security gates. Remember, the security might not appreciate if you start a conga line through the metal detectors. They’ve always been a bit of a stickler for details. So, in the name of smooth passage, be courteous, play by the rules and save the party for later. You are in Baltimore, after all.
P.S. If you find yourself reminiscing about the 1997 film Air Force One, be sure to take a cheeky selfie in Thurgood Marshall Airport, since some of its scenes were actually filmed there. Like a Hollywood star, minus the giant sunglasses and scandalous tabloid headlines.
So there you have it, the down-low on your upcoming Allegiant flight from Bangor to Baltimore. Despite the glaring absence of unicorn onesies and champagne fountains, you're set for a pleasant ride. Just take it from me, a seasoned local travel guru: your journey of a thousand miles starts with one vital step. Or in this case, one well-packed, reasonably-sized, non-magical suitcase.
