Passengers traveling from Allegiant Airlines on Friday morning, July 18th were devastated as some form of malfunction in the computer check-in system of the airline caused delays and long queues.
According to an Allegiant spokesperson the airline had diagnosed the problem at 5.25 am local time and it took till 7.30 to fix it however by that time the damage had already set in.
According to an airport spokesperson Christine Crews at McCarran International Airport, lines at the Allegiant ticket counter saw an “incredible increase”. The delays were apparently not only restricted to McCarran International Airport, reports suggest delays in other airports as well including the Orlando Sanford International Airport.Allegiant’s website shows 112 complaints from the time of the fault to 9.30 am. The website was also down for most of the outage but steps have been taken to fix it since. Five Allegiant flights departing from Las Vegas were delayed as of 9.30 am, at least that’s what the McCarran website showed. Lines and delays have since died down, however it is not yet known how many customers and flights were affected in total or what actually caused the outage.
