Allegiant Air charges a fee for checked baggage that exceeds the weight limit of 40 pounds. The fee for overweight baggage on Allegiant Air varies depending on the route and destination, and is subject to change without notice. As of April 2023, the fee for overweight baggage is $50-$75 per bag, depending on the weight and route.

If you know in advance that you will be traveling with overweight baggage, you can save money by paying for it online before your flight. This will cost you $15-$35 less than if you wait to pay for it at the airport.

It is important to note that Allegiant Air has a strict policy on overweight baggage, and bags that exceed 100 pounds or 80 inches in total dimensions will not be accepted for travel.

Allegiant Air charges an additional $50 for bags that weigh between 51 and 70 pounds, and an additional $75 for bags that weigh between 71 and 99 pounds. There is also a $75 fee for bags that exceed the maximum linear dimensions of 80 inches.

Here are some tips to avoid overweight baggage fees:

  • Pack light. The less you pack, the less you'll have to pay in baggage fees.
  • Weigh your bags before you go to the airport. This will help you avoid any surprises at the gate.
  • Consider using a carry-on bag instead of a checked bag. Carry-on bags are free on Allegiant Air, as long as they meet the size and weight requirements.
  • If you do need to check a bag, try to pack it as tightly as possible. This will help to reduce the weight of your bag.
  • If you're flying with a companion, consider sharing a checked bag. This can help you save money on baggage fees.
  • If you're flying with a lot of luggage, consider using a baggage service. Baggage services can help you transport your luggage to and from the airport for a fee.
