Allegiant isn't a deal at all for Hawaii. I just checked and flying from PHX to HNL with US Air in middle of Feb roundtrip is $347 round trip non stop with taxes and fees included.. And most likely you flight will be on time or very close to it compared to a 2-8 hour delay on just about every flight Allegiant has. You have to pay for luggage but not a carry on.. When you factor in all the fees with Allegiant vs US Air on this particular flight US Air is a good amount cheaper and you'll get snacks..
Allegiant may be good for those way off cities if you can handle all the extra fees and long delays but otherwise this particular destination you're better off flying one of the other airlines and get there on time.
