Avelo Airlines have taken Tweed Airport by storm, offering cheap flights from New Haven, CT to many major destinations on the east coast and Chicago and Tennessee. Tweed is one of Connecticut’s small airports that until recently only allowed passengers to go to Philly. Avelo, which launched its first flight out of Tweed in November Avelo will serve a total of 29 cities by the middle of November. Passengers have the convenience of a small airport yet the capacity to fly to their favorite destinations.

This was my mother-in-laws first time on a plane in 50 years. She was so scared but when we landed, she said she would do it again!

Now let’s answer all your questions as to WHY you should be choosing Avelo at Tweed in New Haven vs Bradley, in Hartford!

1. Convenience! Skip the stress of traveling all the way to Hartford and dealing with long lines, mega people, and long walks from the parking lots or waiting for shuttles. Tweed’s parking is close and if you’re near by you can Uber and save the parking fee.
2. Check in is super easy and even with a line, the longest I waited was 15 minutes.
3. Security lines are very short, usually only the people from your flight are going through security at the same time.
4. The terminal is very small, so no running through a large airport to catch your flight! You also have zero chance of getting lost.
5. The crew is amazing and treat you as if they knew you forever.
6. Price! You will always find great deals, including flights from $49 one way
7. Destinations! Avelo is constantly adding new cities so check often. (map below)

You do have a charge if you’d like to check a bag and for a carry-on, however, you are allowed to carry on a tote. It needs to be able to fit under the seat. If you’re going away for a long weekend, you should be able to carry everything on if you are a smart packer. Another option is getting everyone’s items in one large suitcase and only pay for one checked luggage.

My husband and I each had a checked bag and we paid for one carry-on and it was still the cheapest price we could find.

Easy in and out is worth a lot to us. I don’t want to waste hours traveling. I have flown Avelo many times now so if you have other questions, please let me know!
