This Airline Just Launched $52 Flights To Jamaica, Cancun, and More

A low-cost airline is on the move with new routes and flight deals.

Avelo Airlines, based in Houston, recently announced a major expansion with its first international destinations of Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Cancun, Mexico.

In celebration of the new routes, the airline is offering “very low, one-way fares” from $52 while availability lasts. The airline also announced an expansion with 16 additional new domestic routes including to Daytona Beach, Orlando-Lakeland, and other markets.

The new international routes will operate from Hartford, Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport (BDL), where Avelo will operate service to Cancun, starting  November 20, and Montego Bay, Jamaica, starting November 16, every Wednesday and Saturday. 

“Avelo’s purpose is to Inspire Travel and the addition of 18 new routes and our first two international destinations will make getting where our Customers want to go easier than ever,” Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy shared in a statement to Travel + Leisure. “Couple this with our industry-leading reliability and it’s no surprise over five million people have chosen to fly Avelo.” 

Tickets for the new routes are available on Avelo’s website. 

Avelo operates some flight routes from smaller, regional airports that are near a major city. For example, instead of operating from Orlando International Airport in Florida, the airline operates from Lakeland, FL, which is one hour southwest of Orlando International Airport, but still provides an accessible option for families looking to visit Orlando’s theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, or SeaWorld. 

From the airline’s hub in Orlando-Lakeland, FL, the airline will add bi-weekly service to Boston-Manchester, Charlotte-Concord, Philadelphia-Wilmington, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The airline will also expand routes from its Hartford hub, where Avelo will add bi-weekly service to Charlotte-Concord, Daytona Beach, Houston (Hobby), Orlando-Lakeland, and Wilmington, North Carolina.

For those not familiar, Avelo Airlines is a relatively new low-cost airline that was founded in 2021. The airline operates a fleet of 16 Boeing 737-700 and Boeing 737-800. Avelo frequently touts their on-time performance, and low cancellation rate, which is currently the best in the industry as ranked by the US Department of Transportation, and data firm Anuvu, respectively.
