Low, one-way fares start at $98
Avelo is the only airline offering
nonstop service from H-town to CT
HOUSTON, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avelo Airlines announced today
it will begin exclusive nonstop service from Houston to Hartford,
Connecticut beginning this fall. Hartford will be the second Connecticut destination Avelo serves from
H-Town.
Low one-way fares start at $98*.
Travelers can make reservations at AveloAir.com.
The Houston-based airline will
offer nonstop service between H-Town's most convenient airport –
William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) – and Hartford's Bradley International Airport (BDL). Avelo is
the only airline offering nonstop service between Houston to the state of Connecticut.
Avelo will operate this route twice-weekly on Mondays and
Fridays, beginning November
15th – utilizing Boeing Next-Generation 737
aircraft.
Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew
Levy said, "We are excited to debut our second
route from Houston. I am very
encouraged by the response to our inaugural service between
Houston and New Haven, CT, and I'm optimistic we'll see a
positive response on both ends of this route, as well. We're
already hearing from our Customers how excited they are about the
convenience, affordability and reliability Avelo is introducing to
Houston."
Last month, Avelo inaugurated service from HOU to Southern Connecticut's most convenient airport
– Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN). Avelo operates twice weekly
flights (Mondays and Fridays) between HOU to HVN.
Director of Aviation for Houston Airports Jim Szczesniak said, "It's exciting to
see Avelo Airlines continuing to expand its service at Houston
Airports with this new route to Hartford,
Connecticut. This addition provides even more options for
travelers seeking convenient and affordable connections between
Houston and the Northeast.
Following the success of their Hobby Airport to Tweed-New Haven route, this new flight further
strengthens Hobby Airport's position as a leading regional travel
hub."
Hartford – The Gateway to
Northern Connecticut and New
England
From its origins as a Connecticut River trading post
in 1633, Hartford is the capital
of Connecticut. It is known for
its historical attractions, a thriving arts and entertainment
center, a revitalized riverfront and beautiful parks and public
gardens. It's home to the Mark Twain House & Museum where the
lovable Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer
were born in the imagination of celebrated author Mark Twain and
immortalized on paper during the writer's Hartford years.
Hartford is also an easy
gateway to many other Connecticut
and New England points of interest.
America's Most Convenient Airline
Since taking flight
on April 28, 2021, Avelo has flown
nearly 5 million Customers on over 40,000 flights. Today Avelo
serves 52 destinations spanning 23 states and two international
countries: Jamaica and
Mexico.
Avelo has unlocked a new era of convenience, choice, and
competition by flying unserved routes to primarily underserved
communities across the country. Every route has at least one small,
easy to use airport. This makes every Avelo journey a smooth, easy,
and more enjoyable experience than contending with the crowds,
congestion, and long walks at larger airports.
Avelo is distinguished by its industry-leading reliability. In
the first half of 2024, the airline ranked #1 in on-time
performance and achieved the lowest flight cancellation rate in the
industry. These results are reported by Anuvu, a leading aviation
data services company also utilized by The Wall Street
Journal for the publication's annual airline ranking.
Avelo Customers can always change or cancel their itineraries
with no extra fees. Additionally, families can travel with ease
knowing every child 14 and under will be automatically seated with
an accompanying adult at no additional cost.
Avelo offers advanced seat assignments for sale. One third of
its seats are extra leg room seats, ranging from 32 inches to more
than 36 inches, offering a more comfortable experience for
Customers who value more space. In addition to advance seat
assignments, Avelo offers several unbundled travel-enhancing
options that give Customers the flexibility to pay only for what
they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on
overhead bags, and bringing a pet in the cabin.
