Allegiant Air flight was pleasant, comfortable

I had the most pleasurable experience when I recently flew on Allegiant Air to Florida. The crew, the appearance, the timeliness and the cost were all beyond expectations. All was perfect.

Regarding your reader question about weight restrictions: The airline restricts the seat to 17.8 inches from armrest to armrest. If you are unable to lower the armrest and compromise any adjacent seat, you must purchase a second ticket unless the adjacent seat is occupied by a member of your party who does not mind being encroached upon. This makes a lot of sense.

One reader mentioned doing away with the magazines, and another wants them to stay. I rarely see anyone reading the magazines. If there is a profit to the airline, then let them stay; otherwise they need to go. This is no big loss. Bring a newspaper if you care to read.

The extra charge for checked luggage is only fair to the airline and passengers who pay for a service they never use. There isn’t a charge for carry-ons that fit overhead and a parcel that will fit under the seat.

Keep up the good work, Allegiant, and we wish you success.
