I got cheap tickets from Boise to Las Vegas. The Boise flight was an hour and a half late.....ok, I can live with that. Returning from Las Vegas, the ticket counter told us our 5:00PM flight was on time. The electronic departure boards all said "on time". 5:00 came and went without any announcements. At 5:15 the departure board said the flight took off at 5:00, on time. An hour later there was finally an announcement that the flight would take off late - at 6:30. The agent behind the counter then told me it'd be more like 7:00. Finally another announcement that it'd be 8:00. At 8:30 they announced the plane would be ready to leave at 8:45. At 9:15 we finally boarded. They continually lied to us - not a happy face anywhere in the waiting area. The tickets might be cheap, but the service is the worse I've ever seen. Many of us were there a few hours early, like they always tell you to show up early. So we were in that passenger waiting area for a good 6-plus hours, hungry and tired. Alligiant is so cheap, they won't even give you a bag of peanuts, even though they hold you hostage all day. Never fly Alligiant. When I wrote a letter to the company, they just said "sometimes that's just the way it goes". They could care less.
