Reportedly, Allegiant didn’t offer any compensation for a hotel or rental.
recently , asan end - of - class locomotion movement , it reckon like airlines are very into diverting flying and leave passengers stranded in distant locations .
Just the other day , aDelta Air Lines flight of steps left almost 300 passengers strandedin a small townspeople in Canada and put them up in military barracks overnight when it was earlier supposed to aviate to Detroit . And now , a new instance of this issue has surfaced , but the booster ( or the baddie , depend on the point of view ) , this prison term , isAllegiant Air .
In a video that recently wentviral on TikTok , one traveler shares their improbably stressful experience . " This is a pic of my hubby and I with five stark strangers after we had to take a five time of day road trip with them in the middle of the night because Allegiant Air basically leave alone us maroon in Appleton , Wisconsin , " the TikTok exploiter explains at the beginning of the video .

In short , here ’s what happened . Due to foggy circumstance , the plane — which take off from Florida’sOrlando Sanford International Airport — couldn’t state in the original destination of South Bend , Indiana , and it was also running crushed on fuel . The only alternative , then , was to estate in Appleton , Wisconsin .
However , once the plane landed , conditions are n’t ideal there either . " We get to this airport and it ’s essentially closed , " the video recording poster explains . " All of the restaurants are closed , there ’s nobody waiting to get on other flights , and the only option that we have for solid food is a huckster machine . "
With a close - down aerodrome and no Transportation Security Administration stave or flight gang useable , it ’s impossible to both go past security with the possible action of reentering and also to retrieve your own checked handbag . Reportedly , Allegiant finally offer to fly everyone back to Florida , but passengers on the woodworking plane are desperately trying to find another solution .
" So we ’re like , ' Hey , can you guy assist us out with the hotel ? Can you help us get a rental motorcar ? I paid you to take me to Indiana . You bring me to Wisconsin . I see tinker’s dam befall , but surely sending us back to Florida can not be the only option , ' " explains the telecasting poster . " And Allegiant is like ' No , that ’s the best we can do for you . ' "
After many issues — the rental railcar company by the airport initially did n’t want to unloosen one - path machine and there was only a circumscribed number of available vehicles anyways — the post-horse and their married man managed to get a one - way rental car , and teamed up with another passenger and their house for a five - minute journeying to Indiana .
" So the seven of us derive into this Chevy Traverse and take off on a five - hour road slip and we did n’t stop up produce to South Bend until maybe 2:30 or so in the morning , " they recall . " And of course none of us know each other so — it really was n’t that awkward , I think we did a good caper with the small talk and such but it ’s still like — we should n’t have had to do that . "
Apparently , all Allegiant did to ease the pain in the ass of being ground was … basically nothing . According to the poster , the airline only offered $ 100 off the next flight with them .
