Unlike most US carriers, Allegiant Air operates a there-and-back network, where pilots and flight attendants return to their base at the end of their shift. This saves on hotels and meals and keeps things much more cost-effective and straightforward. It can also conduct routine maintenance overnight at its bases rather than at outstations, reducing costs and streamlining everything.
Using Cirium Diio to examine every Allegiant flight between November 2024 and May 2025 shows that just one in 1,191 (!) arrivals is scheduled to arrive after midnight, let alone be real red-eye operations. More than half of the routes have never been served by any carrier. Gone: Allegiant's main red-eye service Between May and August 2024, the carrier had one overnight route.
This left Las Vegas at 23:44 and arrived in Orlando Sanford at 07:12+1 . The 1,767 nautical mile (3,273 km) route, which had operated for a few years, was primarily served twice-weekly. As it was so different from Allegiant's other network, perhaps it existed for reasons other than financial, be it moving aircraft between bases, maintenance, or otherwise.
While it may reappear, it is no longer listed in Allegiant's pull-down menu or route map, as shown below. Allegiant's current midnight+ arrivals According to Cirium, Allegiant plans more than 67,148 flights between November and May . A review of every service known as of November 20 shows that just six are scheduled to leave before midnight and arrive the following day.
