Allegiant Air’s military program — Allegiant Honors — gives U.S. service members and veterans a generous package of free travel perks on domestic flights: up to two free checked bags, a free carry-on, a free in-cabin pet, priority boarding, and no change or cancellation fees for active and reserve military traveling on official orders. These are not fare discounts but real, money-saving travel benefits, all confirmed on Allegiant’s official military discount page. Here is the full breakdown of what you get, who qualifies, and exactly how to claim the benefits at the airport.
Who is Eligible for the Allegiant Military Discount?
Allegiant Honors is open to current U.S. service members and veterans, plus eligible family members traveling on the same reservation — including spouses or domestic partners, children, and dependents. Covered branches and groups include:
- U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force, and Coast Guard
- National Guard and Reserves
- U.S. service academies
- U.S. Public Health Service and NOAA Commissioned Corps
A valid military ID is required to receive the benefits. Accepted forms include a Common Access Card (CAC), Uniformed Services ID, DD Forms 2, 214, or 2765, a veteran ID card, or a driver’s license with a veteran designation. Spouses use DD Form 1173 or 1173-1 and must be on the same reservation. Children under 10 need no ID.
How Much Military Discount Does Allegiant Provide?
Allegiant Honors is a benefits package rather than a fare discount, and it applies to domestic flights. Eligible travelers receive:
- Up to 2 free checked bags (each under 99 lbs)
- No oversized baggage fees (up to 115 linear inches)
- 1 free carry-on bag plus 1 free personal item
- 1 in-cabin pet at no fee
- Priority boarding for eligible travelers on the same itinerary
- No change or cancellation fees for active and reserve military traveling on official orders — including family on the same reservation — with a full refund including fees if travel is canceled due to orders, with documentation
Allegiant also offers a special compassionate benefit: travelers visiting a service member injured in the line of duty (within 90 days of the injury) receive the lowest available fare with documentation.
How to Claim the Allegiant Military Discount
There is no promo code and no advance verification — the benefits are added at the airport. Follow these steps:
- Book your domestic flight on allegiantair.com. Book normally — the military benefits are not applied at booking, and no promo code is needed.
- Go to the Allegiant counter at the airport. Arrive with your valid military or veteran ID (and your family’s IDs or DD Forms if they are traveling on the same reservation).
- Let the agent verify your ID. An Allegiant agent verifies your military ID and adds the eligible free services — checked bags, carry-on, pet, boarding pass printing, and priority boarding — to your itinerary.
- Get credit for anything you already paid for. If you paid for eligible items (like checked bags) before your ID was verified, contact Allegiant Customer Care after verification to receive credit for the qualifying fees.
- Traveling on orders? Active and reserve military with official orders pay no change or cancellation fees, and receive a full refund including fees if travel is canceled due to orders — with documentation.

FAQs About the Allegiant Military Discount
Does Allegiant offer a percentage off airfare for military?
No — Allegiant Honors is a package of free travel perks (bags, pet, priority boarding, no change fees) on domestic flights, not a fare discount. The one fare-related benefit is for travelers visiting a service member injured in the line of duty, who receive the lowest available fare with documentation.
Do I need a promo code or advance verification?
No. Book normally on allegiantair.com, then verify your military ID with an Allegiant agent at the airport counter, who adds the free services to your itinerary.
Can my spouse and kids get the free bags too?
Yes — eligible family members on the same reservation (spouses/domestic partners, children, dependents) receive the benefits. Spouses should bring DD Form 1173 or 1173-1; children under 10 need no ID.
What if I already paid for checked bags before verifying my ID?
Contact Allegiant Customer Care after your ID is verified to receive credit for qualifying fees you already paid.
Does the program cover international flights?
No. The Allegiant Honors benefits described on the official page apply to domestic flights.
What happens if my military orders change my travel plans?
Active and reserve military traveling on official orders pay no change or cancellation fees — this extends to family on the same reservation — and receive a full refund including fees if travel is canceled due to orders, with documentation.
