America’s ‘Most Reliable’ Airline Now Flies To 4 Popular International Beach Destinations
Mar
An airline you may not be quite as familiar with has taken over U.S. skies as the ‘most reliable’ carrier in the country.
Given my awful experiences with budget airlines lately, that’s quite a feat, but not one to worry about with Avelo Airlines.
One of America’s newest additions, taking its first flight in Spring 2021, the low-cost carrier has rapidly expanded since its inception, starting off solely as a domestic carrier and now offering travelers affordable fares to some of the most sought-after international beach destinations.
Recently announcing a fourth international flight to one of the Caribbean’s most popular resort destinations, Avelo’s passport-required portfolio now totals 4 premiere getaways for an epic vacation.
Avelo Now Flies To 4 Amazing Caribbean Destinations
As the official first day of spring is right around the corner, there’s no better time to plan a Caribbean escape.
The downside is airlines know this and often jack up the prices knowing you’ll pay it regardless.
Well, that’s the beauty of budget airlines, especially when they’re as reliable as Avelo and not fighting bankruptcy or removing the only enticing perk that’s built a loyal team of travelers for decades (ahem, Southwest).
Avelo kicked off its international portfolio with Montego Bay in 2024 and has continued adding on with more flights to Cancun and Punta Cana as well.
So, let’s break down these popular vacation spots and why you should consider flying with Avelo over their competition.
Truth be told, Avelo has some strong competition with Frontier and Spirit both flying here too, but the biggest risk flying budget airlines isn’t safety or unreasonably high bag fees — it’s the scheduling.
Budget airlines stick to a tight schedule, often offering only one flight per day. If there’s a cancellation, it’s not unheard of to be stuck until the next flight, which could be days away.
While Avelo is certainly still growing, if you have the option to book with them, this lessens the odds of a massive travel headache should such a situation arise, all for trying to save a few bucks over peace of mind.
Montego Bay:
Jamaica’s most renowned resort town never disappoints. With ample flights here and numerous high-end resorts to choose from, Jamaica’s slice of paradise has long been one of the Caribbean’s most popular vacation destinations.
With bucket-list resorts like numerous Secrets properties, Sandals, and Riu, plus being a gateway to the stunning beach town of Negril, you can’t go wrong!
Avelo offers nonstop flights from Hartford and Raleigh-Durham (seasonal).
Cancun:
The most popular international beach getaway for Americans is none other than Cancun. Anyone surprised?
Mexico’s year-round escape for sun, sand, and luxurious resorts serving up ice-cold cervezas at the swim-up bar and endless plates at all-inclusives is never a bad idea for an easy-to-reach vacation.
At this point, many travelers have their favorite go-to resort year after year, but keep an eye out for these new hotels opening in Cancun, including a newly-opened posh Marriott all-inclusive resort.
Avelo offers nonstop flights from Hartford.
Punta Cana:
Despite being neighbors with Haiti, the Dominican Republic hasn’t missed a beat in terms of tourism.
The nation’s shining star continues to be resort-laden Punta Cana with largely affordable resorts and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Bavaro.
With plentiful flights and upscale resorts, Punta Cana has planted their flag in Cancun’s shadow and continues to rise as the D.R. shows no signs of slowing down as more Americans vacation here.
Avelo offers nonstop flights from Hartford and Raleigh-Durham (seasonal).
Avelo’s Newest International Destination: Nassau
North Carolinians must Raleigh love vacations because this underrated southern city is quickly becoming a major springboard to some of the world’s top vacation spots.
Already offering flights to Punta Cana and Montego Bay, now Raleigh has landed Nassau as Avelo’s latest Caribbean addition.
The Bahamian capital is gleaming with colorful streets, gorgeous white sand beaches, and towering resorts with equal parts relaxation and entertainment for the whole family.
Travelers will have to wait until summer to take advantage of the new Nassau route as it’s slated to launch June 11, 2025, with two flights per week on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
However, tickets are already on sale online with promotional fares as low as $84 one-way.
