The low-cost Avelo Airlines is back with an exciting route: Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) to Las Vegas (LAS).

Here’s what you need to know about the route — and how to book it for your next vacation!

Avelo’s 14th Route From Burbank

Avelo will fly between Burbank and Las Vegas 2x weekly on Fridays and Sundays beginning May 3.

Avelo will fly its Boeing Next Generation (NG) 737 aircraft on the route. The airline has a fleet of 16 737 Next Generation aircraft, which seats up to 147 passengers.

Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy noted that the airline received a “strong customer response” when it flew a special flight between Burbank and Las Vegas for the Super Bowl in February.

“As Avelo approaches the third anniversary of our first flight from BUR, we’re excited to make Vegas our 14th popular destination from L.A.’s most popular airport,” Levy said. “We look forward to offering travelers Avelo’s everyday affordability, convenience, and reliability between these two vibrant cities.”
