Typos or mistakes happen while reserving a flight — especially when you’re grabbing a limited-time deal. But what if you confirm your booking and then realize something’s off? Maybe you’ve booked the wrong date or picked the wrong city.

If you’re flying with Allegiant, you might be wondering:Can you cancel within 24 hours?

Here’s what you need to know about Allegiant’s 24-hour cancellation policy — and how to avoid extra fees if you decide to make a change.

Yes, You Can Cancel Within 24 Hours — But Conditions Apply

The good news? Allegiant allows cancellations within 24 hours of booking, and in most cases, you’ll get a full refund.

However, there’s one key condition: your flight must be booked at least 7 days before the departure date. If that’s true, you’re good to go.

This policy follows the U.S. Department of Transportation rules, which protect passengers by giving them a short window to cancel without losing money.

How to Cancel Your Allegiant Flight Within 24 Hours

If you’re within the 24-hour window and your flight qualifies, the cancellation process is simple:

  1. Log in to your Allegiant account

  2. Go to "Manage Travel"

  3. Follow the on-screen steps to cancel

  4. You can also contact customer service, but be prepared for longer hold times during peak hours.

Refunds are returned to the original payment method.

  • Credit card refunds typically take 5–7 business days

  • Debit cards or travel credits may take longer, depending on your bank

What If You’re Outside the 24-Hour Window?

If you miss the 24-hour deadline, your options shrink — Allegiant’s basic fare is non-refundable.That means:

  • No money back

  • Even if your plans change

But if you added Trip Flex at the time of booking, you’re in a better spot.

With Trip Flex, you can make a one-time change to your itinerary without paying cancellation or change fees. You won’t receive a cash refund, but you will get a credit for the value of your flight toward a future Allegiant trip.

Trip Flex — Worth It or Not?

Trip Flex costs between $8 to $20 per passenger, depending on your route.

While it’s an added cost, it can save you from paying Allegiant’s change fee, which is around $75 per person.

If you’re unsure about your travel plans or may need to cancel after 24 hours, Trip Flex is a smart add-on.

What About Third-Party Bookings?

If you booked through a third-party site like Fly Fair Travels or a travel agency, the 24-hour rule may not apply the same way.

Some platforms offer their own cancellation rules, while others don’t allow changes at all.

In most cases:

  • You'll need to cancel or modify the booking through the third party

  • Always read the third party’s cancellation terms carefully

Whenever possible, it’s best to book directly through Allegiant to avoid complications.

Concluding Thoughts

Cancelling within 24 hours of booking is possible — and a good move if you spot an error early on.

Just make sure your flight was booked at least 7 days in advance, and act fast.

Once the 24-hour window closes, your flexibility narrows unless you purchased Trip Flex.

Either way, knowing your options ahead of time helps you both save money and avoid stress. Related Articles:- Allegiant Airlines New Year Deals
