Would like to chime in on Allegiant.

Obviously as a Calgarian it might not be worth your time to drive to Great Falls. But if you live in BC it's not far from the border so driving over and flying out of Bellingham (with Allegiant) is a no-brainer.

Yes, they nickle and dime you, every bag costs extra but it's Vegas how much stuff do you really bring with you? Love how if you're willing to fly without all the extras you can really save a buck. $53 flights taxes in? That's incredible. Leaves you way more cash to blow when you're there which is what Vegas is all about!

Personally, have used them multiple times and never had a problem with service or delays.

So if you're close to Great Falls or Bellingham, do it. It's still way cheaper than using Westjet even if you factor in gas and time costs to get over the border.
