How To Book

These new routes are available on AveloAir.com. You’ll find the cheapest flights on the Wilmington (ILM) to Washington-Dulles route, but the best deals are to Nassau. Flights start at $84 each way, which is a great deal considering other flights on the route (which aren’t nonstop) cost nearly $150 each way.
