Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company”) and its majority-owned operating subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates in which the Company’s ownership interest ranges from 20 to 50 percent and in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods, or for the full year. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, intended to create a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date by one year, to December 15, 2017, for annual and interim periods beginning after that date. The FASB has also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial statements of adopting this new accounting standard. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which amends existing guidance and requires the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than a deferred charge. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial statements of adopting this new accounting standard.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure	Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Accounting standards pertaining to fair value measurements establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 - Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - Defined as inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable Level 3 - Defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to determine fair value for investment securities. The assets classified as Level 1 consist of money market funds for which original cost approximates fair value. The assets classified as Level 2 consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, municipal debt securities, federal agency debt securities, government debt securities, and corporate debt securities, which are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources including transactions involving identical or comparable assets and models utilizing market observable inputs. For those assets classified as Level 2 that are not in active markets, the Company obtained fair value from pricing sources using quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments and based on pricing models which include all significant observable inputs, including maturity dates, issue dates, settlement dates, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issue spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other market related data. These inputs are observable or can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset. The fair value of the Company's derivative instrument is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models for derivative instruments include the applicable exchange and interest rates. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Description June 30, 2015 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 9,857 $ 9,857 $ — Commercial paper 4,949 — 4,949 Municipal debt securities 154 — 154 Total cash equivalents 14,960 9,857 5,103 Short-term investments Corporate debt securities 124,852 — 124,852 Municipal debt securities 65,999 — 65,999 Commercial paper 86,334 — 86,334 Government debt securities 3,001 — 3,001 Federal agency debt securities 6,711 — 6,711 Total short-term investments 286,897 — 286,897 Long-term investments Government debt securities 32,318 — 32,318 Municipal debt securities 2,257 — 2,257 Derivative instruments 2,718 — 2,718 Total long-term investments 37,293 — 37,293 Total investment securities $ 339,150 $ 9,857 $ 329,293 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Description December 31, 2014 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 8,377 $ 8,377 $ — Municipal debt securities 101 — 101 Total cash equivalents 8,478 8,377 101 Short-term investments Corporate debt securities 103,961 — 103,961 Municipal debt securities 103,155 — 103,155 Commercial paper 47,940 — 47,940 Certificates of deposit 10,051 — 10,051 Federal agency debt securities 4,710 — 4,710 Total short-term investments 269,817 — 269,817 Long-term investments Corporate debt securities 30,704 — 30,704 Government debt securities 23,997 — 23,997 Municipal debt securities 2,689 — 2,689 Derivative instruments 1,858 — 1,858 Total long-term investments 59,248 — 59,248 Total investment securities $ 337,543 $ 8,377 $ 329,166 The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt (including current maturities), as well as the applicable fair value hierarchy tier, at June 30, 2015 , are presented in the following table. The fair value of the Company’s publicly held long-term debt is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets; therefore, the Company has categorized its publicly held debt as Level 2. The remaining debt agreements are not publicly held. The Company has determined the estimated fair value of these notes to be Level 3, as certain inputs used to determine the fair value of these agreements are unobservable and, therefore, are sensitive to changes in inputs.

Derivative Instruments [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure	Derivative Instruments In 2014, the Company entered into a foreign currency swap in order to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the forecasted lease revenue from 12 Airbus A320 series aircraft leased to a European carrier until 2018. The Company uses a cash flow hedge to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. At June 30, 2015 , the net change in fair value recorded in AOCI related to the unrealized gain on the hedge was $631 , when compared to the fair value at December 31, 2014. At inception, the Company formally designated and documented this financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective, and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Company also assessed whether the financial instrument used in the hedging transactions was effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. This assessment is monitored on at least a quarterly basis, and the change in fair market value of any ineffective portion of a financial instrument is immediately recognized into earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company realized $475 in net gains from its cash flow hedge into Other revenue, and as of June 30, 2015 , expects $646 to be reclassified from Other comprehensive income into Other revenue within the next 12 months. At June 30, 2015 , the fair value of the Company's derivative instrument was $2,718 and is reported in the Company's consolidated balance sheet within deposits and other assets. Refer to Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information related to the estimated fair value.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share	6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. Under this method, the Company attributes net income to two classes- common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. Diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two methods. Under both methods, the exercise of employee stock options is assumed using the treasury stock method. The assumption of vesting of restricted stock, however, differs: 1. Assume vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method. 2. Assume unvested restricted stock awards are not vested, and allocate earnings to common shares and unvested restricted stock awards using the two-class method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , the second method, which assumes unvested awards are not vested, was used in the computation because it was more dilutive than the first method. The following table sets forth the computation of net income per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the periods indicated (shares shown in the following table are in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Basic: Net income attributable to Allegiant Travel Company $ 54,339 $ 33,499 $ 119,205 $ 67,720 Less net income allocated to participating securities (265 ) (239 ) (609 ) (492 ) Net income attributable to common stock $ 54,074 $ 33,260 $ 118,596 $ 67,228 Net income per share, basic $ 3.19 $ 1.87 $ 6.95 $ 3.74 Weighted-average shares outstanding 16,954 17,777 17,073 17,971 Diluted: Net income attributable to Allegiant Travel Company $ 54,339 $ 33,499 $ 119,205 $ 67,720 Less net income allocated to participating securities (265 ) (238 ) (607 ) (490 ) Net income attributable to common stock $ 54,074 $ 33,261 $ 118,598 $ 67,230 Net income per share, diluted $ 3.18 $ 1.86 $ 6.93 $ 3.72 Weighted-average shares outstanding 16,954 17,777 17,073 17,971 Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and stock-settled stock appreciation rights 59 128 71 120 Adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding under treasury stock method 17,013 17,905 17,144 18,091 Participating securities excluded under two-class method (21 ) (40 ) (30 ) (36 ) Adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding under two-class method 16,992 17,865 17,114 18,055 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of earnings per share were not material.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company”) and its majority-owned operating subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates in which the Company’s ownership interest ranges from 20 to 50 percent and in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods, or for the full year.
New Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, intended to create a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date by one year, to December 15, 2017, for annual and interim periods beginning after that date. The FASB has also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial statements of adopting this new accounting standard. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which amends existing guidance and requires the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than a deferred charge. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial statements of adopting this new accounting standard.
