I arrived at the Dayton Airport at 05:00 AM and parked in the economy lot. I called the phone number for the Day-rider Courtesy Shuttle and the person asked what location I was in at the lot. Well, I looked and looked, but I saw no location in my line of sight, and I looked up I saw no locations listed anywhere. It was dark, so I told them I did not know where are the location signs? The person called me a “f*ING IDIOT” and hung up. I walked from the economy lot to the airport with my baggage. I told the check in lady and she said I need to report it to the parking manager. In any case, when I returned from my trip- we took a shuttle back from the airport to the economy lot and the driver asked me what section I was in, and I again told him, I do not know I never could find a location/selection sign. He pointed about 60 feet up in the air, towards the very top of the light poles and that is where the section locations are. I was astonished – it was no wonder I could not locate the sections the light was directly shining in my eyes at 5 AM and there is no way I would have thought to look straight up towards the very top of the light poles for the locations of where cars are parked. This was the very worst airport I have ever visited, communication was terrible, management never responded to my inquiry, and it is very unsafe walking with baggage in a 50 MPH road with no sidewalks, and the employees are incredibly unforgiving and rude. Never again, I would rather drive to LaGuardia in NYC then fly...

This review is specifically poor due to Allegiant Airline ticket counter and the Allegiant management here at Dayton - their general unprofessionalism and notably poor customer service. About 2 hours prior to departure, a line had started forming at the ticket counter. After around 15-20 min of waiting, a few of us called the airport to see if any of them could help us. United counter workers weren’t offering anything in the way of assistance, so we just needed someone to provide service for checking in. About 10 min later, the female manager stormed out of her office upset and raising her voice at all of us in line since airport police had gotten involved trying to locate anyone from Allegiant who could help. There were around 40 passengers in line at this point. She was obviously upset at all of us, telling us to stop calling the airport police (which we hadn’t, we called the general airport number), and then stormed back into her office to do more paperwork until she deemed it was time to start checking us all in for our flight boarding in 1.5 hours. All airlines suggest arriving at least 2 hours prior to departure btw… Regardless, when customer lines build, having the decency and professionalism to provide timely and appropriate customer service should be a bare minimum job requirement. This individual has no business being in customer service, much less a managerial position. I am a frequent flyer and Allegiant priority member, and I’ve NEVER had an experience this overtly...
