Avelo Airlines Flights From Wilmington Return To 7 Popular Destinations This Summer
Well, this is great news as we enter the summer time months. Avelo Airlines flights from Wilmington will be returning to some destinations that were suspended during the winter months.
Avelo Airlines Flights From Wilmington Return
Residents of Delaware and our neighboring states can look forward to seven destinations coming to Wilmington for the summer of 2024. These flights are available to book now. This is such an amazing option for quick and easy travel, without the hustle and bustle that exists at the Philadelphia International Airport.
- Fort Lauderdale, Florida
- Fort Myers, Florida
- Tampa, Florida
- Orlando, Florida
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
- San Juan, Puerto Rico
- Wilmington, North Carolina
We’ve heard that Sarasota and West Palm Beach flights will also make a return in November.
There are a few popular destinations that might be done for good though – Savannah, Nashville and Daytona Beach.
Avelo Communications Director Courtney Goff had this to say. “They’re not canceled indefinitely. But we are waiting to get a little bit stronger of a sense, utilizing the routes that are really working for Wilmington and for Avelo, and capitalizing on those so that we can continue to gain that awareness and reach not only in Delaware but in the surrounding cities and states.”
I haven’t taken a trip on Avelo yet, but from what I’ve heard it’s a pretty great all around experience. Flight fares are less expensive than larger airports in bigger cities, delays aren’t as frequent and the times and days offered are in line with summer planning. And I hear the staff is friendly and welcoming.
All things that you cannot find at PHL. Ugh, the waits in Philly are the worst, even for a cup of coffee.

Secret Tips to Save Money on Your Next Vacation
1. Try to Negotiate Your Lodging
Did you know that hotel fees can be negotiable? Fidelity.com points out that, “You may be able to negotiate the online price by calling a hotel directly, or asking if they have any discounts for students, government employees, or members of certain groups, such as AAA.” So, don’t settle for that price you see on your laptop. Try to do better. It’s a secret tip that can pay off bigtime.

2. Get Smart with Your Lodging
Did you know some hotels that are virtually the same, including the same brand, can be cheaper just a few miles apart? As a general rule, hotels that are near the airport are more expensive. So, you can look at the hotels you want to stay at and their multiple locations in the area for the best rate. “Some hotels that are under construction may rent rooms at a discount, which is a great option if you can deal with the noise,” Fidelity.com points out.

3. Snack Your Way to a Cheaper Trip
Going out to eat on vacation can be one of the most exciting things about the trip. But, if you want to save on cash, skip a few meals out and opt for healthy, hearty snacks. Pack (or buy at a local store) some protein-rich snacks, like protein bars and meal bars, and limit your dining out. You can still enjoy some of the best food the area has to offer, just not as much of it. This is a way to stay fit on your trip, too. A lot of people don’t think of this tip, so it’s a bit of a secret.

4. Timing is Everything
You’ve heard it so many times in life: Timing is everything. That’s true for travel, too. Research to find the least-busy times to visit your destination. If you travel during those downtimes, you’ll save big. While this is a common tip, something people forget is that every vacation destination has its own peak time. So, be specific for your travel spot.

5. Travel with a Friend
If you’re thinking of traveling solo to a place you’ve always wanted to visit, go cheaper by traveling with a friend. You two can share lodging fees. Also, sometimes there are more deals and discounts for those traveling with multiple people. I always do this when going to a big music festival, if it’s far away. I’ll usually meet my friend there, and we share lodging costs. It also makes the trip more fun.

6. Find Free Spots to Travel
Look for some free attractions in your travel area. Chances are, they won’t be as packed as the big-named places, too. You can still visit some of the popular landmarks. But, if you add a trip to a national park or free museum to your itinerary, it will save you some cash.

7. Max Out Your Memberships
Are you a member of any random groups? You might have travel deals just waiting for you. Check everything, from your college alumni membership to your credit cards, for travel discounts. You may be surprised what you find.

8. Don't Get Picky
Say you just want to get out on a fantastic trip, but you don’t really have a place in mind. That’s actually a good thing. Take an hour to look at flight specials happening right now. If you aren’t picky on where to travel, chances are you’ll find a great rate on airfare and lodging somewhere. Once you find the most reasonable place to travel, then you can start looking at what to do when you’re there.

9. Go Popular
This is a bit ironic, but often times, the most popular tourist destinations are also the cheapest. That’s because there is a lot of competition for all those travelers. So, big-named destinations like Orlando, Florida, or Las Vegas, Nevada, tend to have really good travel deals. Go popular, or go home.
