- Phone: Call +1 702-505-8888 and say “cancel my service”. Expect a retention pitch, decline it twice and hold firm.
- Online (fastest): Direct cancel flow: www.allegiantair.com/manage-travel
- Post: Post is not required to cancel, but Allegiant publishes a written Customer Relations address for complaints and refund claims: Allegiant Travel Company, ATTN: Customer Relations, PO Box 371477, Las Vegas, NV 89137.. Send it tracked so you can prove delivery.
- Email: Allegiant doesn’t process cancellations by email. Still worth sending one: it dates your cancellation request in writing, which matters for disputes and refunds.
Timing matters: Two hard clocks: (1) free cancellation ends 24 hours after booking, and only counts if departure was 7+ days (168 hours) away when you booked; (2) itineraries cannot be changed or cancelled for any credit within 7 days of departure unless Trip Flex was purchased at booking. Miss both and a no-show forfeits the full fare.
The email that backs it up
Allegiant won’t action a cancellation from an email alone, use the fastest channel above for the cancellation itself. This email still earns its place: it puts your cancellation date in writing (your evidence if they keep billing) and it’s where the refund request happens.

Subject:
Cancellation Request, [your account email]Send this template
Hi Allegiant team, I'm writing to cancel the subscription on my account, [your account email]. Please treat this as formal notice of cancellation, effective from the end of the current billing period. Under the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule, cancellation must be available through a channel as simple as the one I signed up through. Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken. Best, [your name]
Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.
Allegiant plans you can cancel
- Standard fare (non-refundable)
Cancel online via Manage Travel. Free within 24 hours of booking; after that a change/cancel fee applies per segment and any remaining value comes back as a credit voucher, not cash.
- Trip Flex travel protection add-on
Priced per segment at booking only and cannot be added later; buys one fee-free change or cancellation up to one hour before departure.
- Bundles / Allegiant vacation packages
Package itineraries typically must be changed or cancelled further out than flight-only bookings, and changes can force repurchase of bundle components.
- Allways Rewards (loyalty programme)
Free loyalty membership, no recurring charge to cancel; points sit on the account tied to your email address.
What happens to what you’ve already paid
For Allegiant FLIGHT tickets there is exactly one self-serve cash-refund route: cancel within 24 hours of booking, and only if the flight was at least 7 days (168 hours) away when you booked, the money goes back to the original payment method. Outside that window standard fares are non-refundable: you pay a per-segment cancel fee and whatever is left becomes an Allegiant credit voucher for future travel, and inside 7 days of departure no credit is issued at all unless Trip Flex was bought at booking. Trip Flex itself only converts a cancellation into a voucher (its own fee is never refunded), and bundles/vacation packages are separately stated as non-refundable. The one override is flight disruption: if Allegiant cancels or significantly changes your flight and you decline the alternative, you are owed cash back to your card, not a voucher, that claim goes through Customer Relations, not the Manage Travel cancel button.
“Qualifying air itineraries and packages can be canceled for a refund without penalty within 24 hours of booking, provided the scheduled time of departure was at least one week (168 hours) away at time of booking.”

Asking specifically for money back, not just a cancellation? See the dedicated Allegiant refund guide , same data, but framed around the policy + escalation paths.
Does Allegiant charge a cancellation fee?
Allegiant’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends.
What doesn’t work for cancelling Allegiant
Based on 5 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Emailing customer service to cancel a booking, Allegiant has no email cancellation path, its own docs push you to Manage Travel online or the phone line, and written contact is routed through a web form that can take weeks to answer. Email is useful for refund arguments and paper trails, not for stopping a booking.
- ✕ Cancelling inside 7 days of departure and expecting a voucher, Itineraries cannot be changed within 7 days of departure and no credit is issued unless Trip Flex was purchased at booking.
- ✕ Simply not flying (no-show) and asking for value later, A no-show forfeits the entire ticket value with no credit voucher issued, you must actively cancel before departure.
- ✕ Asking for cash instead of a voucher on a non-refundable fare after 24 hours, Outside the 24-hour window Allegiant's policy does not allow refunds to the original payment method; agents can only issue credit vouchers minus fees.
- ✕ Cancelling an award booking to get your points back, Points spent on an award ticket are not returned to the Allways account on cancellation; the value is reissued as a future-travel credit voucher instead.
- ✕ Waiting quietly after submitting the online complaint form, There is no published response-time guarantee and up to 30 days is a realistic wait; unescalated cases routinely go unanswered until the traveller chases or goes up the executive chain.
- ✕ Expecting a refund of the Trip Flex fee or bundle add-ons, Trip Flex is explicitly non-transferable and non-refundable, and all bundle purchases are flagged non-refundable in the terms.
Cancelled Allegiant but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Allegiant, treat it as not cancelled. Email
acaa@allegiantair.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Allegiant’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Allegiant charges again.
How Allegiant will try to keep you
Allegiant may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Offering a credit voucher when Allegiant itself cancelled or significantly changed the flight”
You say: State plainly that you are declining the alternative flight and are requesting a refund to the original form of payment, as required for a carrier-initiated cancellation, and that a voucher is not an acceptable substitute. Give a 7-day deadline before you file a US DOT aviation consumer complaint and, if you paid by card, open a chargeback.
They’ll say: “Front-line agents citing 'non-refundable fare' against a valid 24-hour cancellation”
You say: Quote Allegiant's own FAQ back at them: qualifying itineraries can be cancelled for a refund without penalty within 24 hours of booking where departure was at least 168 hours away at time of booking. Attach your booking timestamp and the confirmation number and ask them to reverse the voucher into a card refund.
They’ll say: “Routing every written request into an online form with no reply for weeks”
You say: Send a short, dated, fact-only email to customer.relations@allegiantair.com with confirmation number, flight, amount and the outcome you want. If nothing comes back in seven days, escalate one level per week up the published executive chain rather than resubmitting the form.
They’ll say: “Upselling Trip Flex as 'refund protection' at checkout”
You say: Trip Flex buys flexibility, not money back, it converts a cancellation into a travel credit and its own fee is never refunded. If you were told at booking or on the phone that Trip Flex made the ticket refundable, say so in writing and ask for the cash refund the misdescription implies.
They’ll say: “Pushing you to phone in the cancellation close to the deadline”
You say: Cancel yourself in Manage Travel so the timestamp is yours and the confirmation email is automatic, then use the phone line only to argue the refund. Screenshot the cancellation screen before you close it.
Your rights when cancelling
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.
Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackYour bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Allegiant has ~45 days to defend.
Delete your Allegiant account (not just cancel)
Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.
If there’s no delete option in Allegiant’s account settings, email acaa@allegiantair.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
Common questions about cancelling Allegiant
Two ways. Cancel inside the 24-hour post-booking window (flight 7+ days out) and you pay nothing and get your money back. Or, if you bought **Trip Flex** at the time of booking, you can cancel up to about an hour before departure with the change/cancel fee waived, but the value comes back as a travel credit, and the Trip Flex fee itself is not returned. Trip Flex cannot be added after booking. Everything else attracts a per-segment fee, commonly quoted at $75.
Money-back questions (windows, pro-rata, chargebacks) are covered in the Allegiant refund guide. Need a human for something else entirely? The Allegiant contact guide lists every channel that actually answers.
