Allegiant was severely understaffed for check in and actually took longer than the TSA check. T pre-baggage check was slightly useful but the the person manning it would've been more useful at the actual baggage check. All lines were at capacity.

TSA pre-check was closed. But otherwise seemed efficient. Except that their equipment and/or personnel were poorly trained or too sensitive. A small wrist watch set the metal detector off, but hasn't set off a detector before.

All fights (5?) near my flight were all through the same gate so several flights worth of people were all at the same gate.

It was like they didn't realize how many fights were leaving near that time or couldn't plan accordingly. Don't fly out of this airport if at all possible.
