OT Avelo Air/Tweed New Haven Airport

[Steve85]

Does anyone have any experience flying Avelo - good, bad, or indifferent? What about flying in/out of Tweed? I decided to fly to Chicago Midway via Avelo this trip as non-stop and convenient from Trumbull.

Avelo Airlines at Tweed

Would be awesome to fly commercial out of Tweed! Curious where their direct flights will be, but a lot of their west coast locations are near national parks and/or nature destinations. https://www.wshu.org/post/tweed-airport-expansion-advances-through-new-haven-city-planners#stream/0

Flew direct from Tweed to Wilmington, NC. Initial flight delayed due to storms but they kept us updated. return flight had no issues. Both flights had friendly crews and smooth rides in air. Also did flight to Myrtle without issue.

Easy parking right at the runway, super fast security, it’s as close to flying private as it gets.

Easy direct flight, good experience

Will pay extra for everything, even carry ons

Still cheaper

Flew out of Tweed a few times. Very satisfied.
I thought their parking was expensive. I may try the offsite parking next time.

All positive.

There is a thread somewhere about it.

Do they fly internationally like Stewart?

I flew to Savannah and to baltimore this summer from Tweed. Both very very easy. The baggage claim is kind of funny because it’s not circular. It’s a short straight conveyer belt and at the end it just drops the luggage lol

I have heard good things. The throng of STOP TWEED EXPANSION yahoos go down easier than orcs as you approach the entry to the airport. They are passionate but any type of car can wipe out 6 to 12 easily.

All positive.

Yeah, read this thread and you'll see it.

This is pre-Avelo, haven't flown them, but if you live close enough to Tweed, Uber worked great for us. Lots cheaper than parking there.

I don’t believe you can currently arrange an Uber or Lyft pickup at Tweed. Gotta use the local taxi service.

That has to be a change. Don’t see how it can be prevented. It’s a private car. If true, maybe from some spots a cab is still less than the parking fees.

Since they apparently don’t have permission to operate there absent an agreement, I’d imagine that you can’t enter it as a pickup or drop off location. But I haven’t tried. I park there.

Yup...

"Under the new fee structure, Lyft and Metro Taxi have agreed to pay up to $4 out of each Tweed fare to the airport. “Uber did not want to agree to those terms and we had to suspend the service,” he said."

A ha, so you can use Lyft. Good to know.

So Lyft is still possible. never cared which of Uber or Lyft I use, but don’t use either often and not at all since pre-pandemic.

I've never been there, but it looks according to Google maps like one can walk a couple hundred feet to a public street and get picked up there.
