As summer unofficially ends, airlines are rolling out tons of deals for cheap travel.
For its Labor Day sale, Allegiant is offering 25% off base fares to all the cities in its network.
With a 25% discount, flights can go for as little as $38 one-way. Plus, the travel dates are flexible, since the sale applies to any travel until May 14, 2024, as long as flights are booked by Wednesday.
However, only a limited number of these marked-down fares are available under this Allegiant deal, so make sure to book your flights as soon as you can.

Sample flights
These deals are particularly great if you’re looking to book a cheap flight and live near a smaller airport.
Here are some of the flights you can book (the fares shown below are for one-way trips):
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Provo Airport (PVU), starting at $38
- Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB), starting at $39
- Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) to Nashville International Airport (BNA), starting at $41
- Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport (MSP) to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), starting at $73
You can also fly from other cities such as Newark and Washington, D.C. Keep in mind that while Allegiant is offering discounted one-way fares, there is limited availability for these seats. So, it’s best if you can book your trip as soon as possible.
For a trip from Los Angeles to Provo, Utah, in December — which is perfect timing for a ski trip — Allegiant only offers the $38 fare one-way. A returning flight from Provo to Los Angeles would cost $51, bringing a total round-trip fare to $89.
Allegiant also offers bundles that include a carry-on, checked baggage, seat selection and priority check-in at an additional fee. You also have the option to pay for these perks individually.
If you decide to pay separately for ancillary items, seat selection can cost anywhere from $1 to $24. The cheapest seats are middle ones in the back of the aircraft.
A carry-on bag costs $24 one-way, and a checked bag is $28 one-way. So, if you ended up needing both for your trip, you’d spend an additional $104.
Maximize your purchase
Make sure to use cards that earn bonus points on airfare purchases like:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred Card: 2 points per dollar spent on travel
- American Express® Gold Card: 3 points per dollar spent on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel
- The Platinum Card® from American Express: 5 points per dollar spent on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel (on up to $500,000 of these purchases per calendar year)
- Citi Premier® Card (see rates and fees): 3 points per dollar spent on airfare
- Chase Sapphire Reserve: 3 points per dollar spent on airfare
Bottom line
These Allegiant fares are convenient for a quick weekend trip, and the discounts apply to any travel up until May 14, which makes travel planning flexible.
As with ultra-low-cost carriers, you’ll have to pay extra for seat selection, carry-ons and baggage; all of this tends to cost a lot more than the airfare itself. However, depending on how you book, these Allegiant flights can still be significantly cheaper than those from a bigger carrier.
