Avelo Airlines is a startup airline offering low-cost flights to select locations across the US, from small airports to popular vacation spots like Las Vegas and Orlando. Their route network specializes in connecting smaller airports to popular vacation spots.
The airline strives to generate revenue through ancillary services such as seat selection and priority boarding, which allows them to offer affordable fares while still providing quality service to their passengers.
Cost-conscious Approach
Avelo Airlines launched in 2021 with the goal of making air travel affordable to more travelers. Their low-cost model relies on unbundled services that enable customers to pay only for those services they value – helping keep fares lower while still offering quality experiences.
Focusing on smaller airports and routes underserved by larger airlines allows this budget carrier to remain cost-competitive with other budget carriers. Furthermore, its fleet remains small while promotional fares are available – although unfortunately they do not offer frequent flyer programs and restrict onboard amenities.

Avelo maintains high levels of customer satisfaction despite its small route network by offering responsive and transparent service. Their pricing model relies on a simple ticket structure which includes base fare as well as one-way fees per leg of their flight; this enables passengers to avoid incurring additional charges for services they may not use such as seat selection or priority boarding.
Avelo Airlines currently provides limited daily flights between its five bases across the U.S. to various destinations across the nation, but in the future plans to increase flights from Los Angeles and Portland as primary hubs, as an alternative means of connecting small cities with vacation spots directly instead of through larger hubs.
No buy-on-board Menus
Avelo airlines does not provide onboard meals or snacks; passengers are invited to bring their own or purchase it at the airport. Furthermore, Avelo prohibits beverage or snack cart sales on board due to safety risks posed by such carts.
Avelo keeps its costs low by operating out of smaller airports near, but not within, large cities and by using more fuel efficient aircraft such as CRJ-200s and Boeing 737-800s that require less maintenance costs – saving Avelo money while cutting its operating expenses.
Avelo Airlines also provides free changes to flight reservations canceled within 24 hours of your original departure date, allowing you to switch seats as many times as you like before your flight – though any charges would only apply if the new seat costs more than what was initially reserved; otherwise any difference in price would be returned in Avelo Travel Funds to use on future journeys.
Levy claims that approximately 85% of his company’s flights leave on time, excluding weather-related or uncontrollable circumstances. Furthermore, their flight schedule ensures their aircraft return home each night which benefits both crew members and passengers alike.
No TSA PreCheck
Avelo Airlines does not provide TSA PreCheck, but has in place various security measures to keep passengers safe on board its flights. With low cancellation and on-time departure rates and friendly employees, Avelo’s flights remain safe despite lacking amenities like in-seat power/seatback screens/onboard buy-on-board menu. Furthermore, its limited domestic routes may make reaching their destinations more difficult for certain travelers.
Avelo Airlines’ base fares may be affordable, but additional charges such as seat selection fees, checked bag fees and priority boarding can quickly add up. Avelo focuses on serving smaller airports to lower its rental and maintenance costs; thus generating revenue to offset its lower base fares.
Customers have generally been pleased with Avelo’s affordable fares, though some have noted its drawbacks. Some routes only operate once or twice every week and there is often insufficient staff at certain airports; furthermore, Avelo does not have a frequent flyer program in place.
Although lacking amenities may be a drawback for some travelers, Avelo’s prices remain competitive with other budget airlines and it offers a selection of destinations – including smaller towns hard to access by other carriers – at competitive rates. Furthermore, Avelo boasts an outstanding safety record and has always responded quickly and effectively whenever any incidents have arisen.
Small Fleet
Avelo Airlines, one of America’s newest airlines, has quickly established itself as a reliable carrier with an easy mission: Inspire Travel! Avelo’s fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft are designed to offer consistent experience on every flight and further Inspire Travel by providing time and money saving convenience, low fares, and an exceptional Soul of Service culture for customers.
American Eagle flies across the continental United States, with a particular emphasis on smaller and more convenient airports. Most routes operate nonstop; prices are extremely affordable while offering no-frills flights that don’t charge additional fees such as seat selection and priority boarding fees.
Avelo operates a small fleet of Boeing 737-800 aircraft that can seat up to 189 passengers. Each seat offers both aisle and window views and all recline except those in the last row and exit rows, according to Andrew Levy’s explanation that allows Avelo to offer competitive base fares while still achieving industry-leading on-time performance.
Avelo may operate with a small fleet, yet their plan is to increase their presence through additional flights out of Los Angeles hub. Furthermore, Avelo hopes to serve other underserved Western cities including Eugene Oregon Pasco Washington Redding California with nonbase flying. They even plan on connecting Santa Rosa wine country in California with Las Vegas!
