With the addition of LAS to its network, Avelo will now fly to two highly coveted destinations from STS: Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said “Getting to Vegas from the North Bay is now easier and more affordable than ever. We’re excited to take flight today to this popular vacation and entertainment destination. The addition of Las Vegas to our existing service to Los Angeles, demonstrates our commitment to providing more choice and convenient access to the places our customers want to go at everyday low fares.”

Avelo’s first flight departs STS today at 10:05 a.m., arriving LAS at 11:45 a.m. The returning flight will depart LAS today at 12:25 p.m., arriving STS at 2:05 p.m. Effective today, these flights will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The Entertainment Capital of the World

As one of North America’s leading business and leisure destinations, Las Vegas offers something for everyone, including unrivaled entertainment and nightlife, exhilarating sporting events, world-famous hotels and dining experiences, casinos, shopping and more. Beyond the strip, outdoor adventures, family friendly activities, top-rated golf courses and iconic attractions await visitors of all ages.

“We are pleased to welcome Avelo Airlines to McCarran International Airport and wish them great success with their Las Vegas air service,” said Chris Jones, McCarran International Airport airport chief marketing officer. “Whether travelers are looking for the entertainment of Las Vegas or the allures of wine country, Avelo’s new nonstop flights make these desirable destinations more accessible.”

The New Way To Las Vegas and Los Angeles

STS is a small hometown airport experience where Customers enjoy smaller crowds, shorter walking distance from curb to gate, and quicker TSA lines. Whether arriving or departing, STS offers a smooth hassle-free travel experience – Customers arrive at their destination refreshed and ready to go.

“It is with great excitement and honor that Avelo Airlines is reconnecting two world class destinations together with their unique brand of customer service and affordability,” said Jon Stout, airport manager at Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport. “This new flight is a testament to our growing partnership and the strong response from customers to their 141 days of serving Sonoma County with more choices in convenient travel.”

Avelo’s everyday low fares have no change or cancellation fees. There is also no charge for Customers who choose to make reservations by phone. Additionally, Avelo offers several unbundled travel-enhancing options that give Customers the flexibility to pay for what they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags, and for bringing a pet in the cabin.

The single-class, fuel-efficient 189-seat 737-800 mainline jets Avelo operates from STS offer a more spacious and comfortable experience than the regional aircraft historically serving STS. Customers may choose from several seating options, including seats with extra leg room, as well as pre-reserved window and aisle seating.
