Discount Airline Lands in Time for Chester Countians to Save Hundreds on Flights to Florida
Just in time to get away from the cold of winter, a discount airline has landed at the nearby Wilmington Airport for Chester Countians and Pennsylvanians alike to snag a cheap flight to Florida, writes Dan Stamm for NBC Philadelphia.
Avelo Airlines plans to open a new base at the New Castle County Airport. The Texas-based airline opened last year and has flown more than 1.2 million customers.
One-way, nonstop flights will take off to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, and Tampa in Florida.
“Just 25 minutes from Center City Philadelphia and 90 minutes from New York City and Washington, D.C., it features easy access to I-95, I-295, I-495, and the New Jersey Turnpike; and is just 10 minutes from the Wilmington Amtrak Station,” said the Delaware River and Bay Authority website.
Tickets start at $49 and they must be booked by Oct. 27, 2022 with flights taken by April 30, 2023. The inaugural flight will fly on Feb. 1 to Orlando, and other flight destinations will follow in the days after.
So, if you’re looking for a savvy way to save, then these flights may keep your budget down.
