Have you been dreaming of an escape to the sunshine state? Now it’s easier than ever. Earlier this year, Avelo Airlines announced its exclusive nonstop service to Orlando from the Gulf Coast’s newest airport, Mobile International Airport (BFM). Service officially began on May 31. Read on for details.

From Mobile to Orlando

Avelo, the only airline in Mobile offering nonstop service to Florida, has officially begun operations on its twice weekly flights from MCO to BHM.

The flights will operate on Thursdays and Sundays on the Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft. Not only will these flights make it much more convenient to get from Mobile to Orlando, but one-way fares start at just $29 through Avelo Air.

“We are beyond thrilled to see commercial flights coming to the Mobile International Airport, and we know Avelo will provide an affordable option for residents throughout the region traveling to and from Orlando. I’d like to congratulate the leadership team at Avelo Airlines and MAA. This is an exciting milestone for our community and a taste of what’s to come as more and more commercial flights begin departing from Downtown Mobile.”
