Allegiant Extra & Priority Experience
To support the launch of Allegiant Extra, a seat upgrade product offering more comfort, convenience, and perks, I developed a complete brand and experience system spanning physical environments, inflight elements, digital platforms, and customer communication. As part of this initiative, I also led the visual refresh of Priority status, a key benefit of the Extra product, to improve visibility and wayfinding throughout the customer journey.
The updated design system improved product visibility, enhanced the premium experience, and strengthened brand recognition across every stage of the customer journey.
