Leisure flight and quick turnarounds
I am considering just flying from Louisville to Gulf Shores and back for the fun of it in August. I love planes and the tickets are a cheap way to just do something exciting.
The connection would be less than 45 minutes, with scheduled arrival at 3:59 PM and departure back to Louisville at 4:45. With all things considered, if this is delayed any and I have to get to a different gate I am likely screwed.
However, I wanted to see if anyone knew Allegiant's methodology for doing turnarounds. When I looked at the SDF-GUF flights from this past week, both flights used the same airplane. My guess is that this is always going to be the case due to how soon the return leg is, but I didn't know if this was guaranteed. Obviously if it's the same plane, a delay doesn't matter cause it's not like it's gonna cause me to miss the second flight. If it's not something to count on I likely won't do this because GUF leaves few to no opportunites to return home the day of or day after, and I'd like to not be stranded in Alabama lol.
