Avelo has rapidly expanded since launching in the spring of 2021. In March, the airline announced it would begin nonstop service between its base in New Haven (HVN) and Baltimore (BWI), Chicago-Midway (MDW), and Raleigh-Durham (RDU).

And earlier this summer, it began flying routes from Baltimore to Orlando (MCO) and Wilmington International Airport (ILM) in North Carolina.

The airline serves 30 destinations across the United States from Burbank, New Haven, and Orlando hubs.

Introductory fares between Palm Springs and Sonoma County start at just $29 each way.

Tickets must be purchased by August 11, 2022, and travel must be completed by February 14, 2023. Remember that because Avelo is a low-cost airline, you’ll have to pay extra for services such as seat selection, carry-on luggage, and checked bags.
