Allegiant goes paperless

Allegiant is now offering its passengers paperless mobile boarding pass capability at all 101 airports it serves.

No matter where they are travelling, Allegiant passengers will now have the option to avoid ticket counter lines by checking-in for their flight and receiving their boarding passes directly on their mobile device.

While some major airports and large carriers have previously introduced mobile boarding pass technology at their airport security checkpoints, Allegiant has worked with many small- to mid-size airports throughout its system to introduce mobile boarding pass scanners at security checkpoints.

“Having mobile boarding passes enabled in all of the airports we serve has been a huge project and we are very pleased to announce its completion,” said Scott Allard, Allegiant Travel Co. chief information officer. “The introduction of these types of convenient, self-service technologies enables us to pass savings on to our customers and keep our fares lower than other carriers.”

Through the Allegiant-To-Go mobile app, available for free on Apple and Android mobile devices, customers may check-in for their flight, add seat assignments, priority boarding or additional baggage and receive their boarding pass right on their phone or tablet. Travellers who have a mobile boarding pass may use the express bag drop lane at the Allegiant ticket counter for checked luggage or, if they do not have checked luggage, proceed directly through the security checkpoint to their departure gate.
