Please, PLEASE...somebody please tell me that the press is going to pick up on this.

LAS VEGAS April 19, 2016 — Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) passengers were treated to a tax season surprise last weekend, as the company provided all passengers on six separate flights with surprise refunds for the airfare portion of their itinerary.

One flight per day April 15-17 was selected to be part of the campaign and three flights were selected on April 18. In total, 907 customers received refunds totaling nearly $140,000. Passengers received the good news during a surprise in-flight announcement as part of Allegiant’s $1 Million Summer, a campaign in which the company is giving away $1 million in airfare through the end of the summer.

“Providing surprise refunds to six flights was an incredible experience that allowed us to personally connect with our loyal customers,” said Jude Bricker, Allegiant chief operating officer. “The initiative was rewarding, not only for the passengers of those flights, but for the company, as well.”

Routes selected to receive refunds include:

1. April 15, 2016: Flight 714 – Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) to Owensboro-Daviess Regional Airport (OWB).
2. April 16, 2016: Flight 1404 – Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) to Punta Gorda Airport (PGD).
