Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) passengers were treated to a tax season surprise last weekend, as the company provided all passengers on six separate flights with surprise refunds for the airfare portion of their itinerary.

One flight per day April 15-17 was selected to be part of the campaign and three flights were selected on April 18. In total, 907 customers received refunds totaling nearly $140,000.
