-wife and I delayed 7 hourse on flight home from San Fran (which was actually Oaklabd airport) to Kalispell
-Aunt and Uncle and Grandma delayed 26 hrs from GTF to LAS, missed 1 day of a 3 day trip, missed show.
-Brother and Sister In Law and 3 other couples waited 1hour and 45 mins at baggae claim in LAS for car seats for the kids after landing at 10:15pm
-My cousin in NC had his return flight ffrom Florida cancelled on him and had to pay to find another flight home that day as the next allegiant flight was not for 3 day.
Just look at their facebok page, do not fly with them. If it is to save a couple hundred bucks, save up for another month or two and fly with a real airline. Their web site is loaded with hidden fees, refunds are impossible and they don't have an 800 number, they also charge for a carry on $40 each way/ ticket. And the flight times are usually crap.
I live in Lethbridge and last time we flew down we went with Delta out of Great Falls through SLC which cost $145 total then we would have paid using allegiant. Are next trip is looking like YYC will be cheaper then GTF.
And driving from YYC to Great Falls is about 4.5-5 hours depending on border time. The plus is you can load your car up with cheap booze to bring home .

I, myself, have only flown Allegiant once, and I was happy with the flight. I would have preferred more options as to time of day when I could fly, but for the price I was happy with what I got.
We have a lot of family who also regularly fly to Vegas with Allegiante and the only problem I heard with that is my wife's cousin who nearly missed the flight because they assumed they would cross the border without delays.
That said, I prefer the to go to Calgary. I just don't want to risk being delayed at the border crossing and missing flight, nor do I want to kill time for several hours in Great Falls before I catch my flight. I like Calgary better, but Allegiant out of Great Falls is indeed inexpensive and I haven't heard of anybody that I now having problems with the airline.
