Avelo Airlines Extends Southwest Florida Routes Through February 2026

Avelo Airlines is giving Southwest Florida travelers more time to plan winter getaways, extending its flight schedule across four local airports into February 2026. The low-cost carrier, operating Boeing 737 aircraft, will continue service to nine nonstop destinations through Feb. 10, 2026.

📍 Airports & Destinations (Through Feb 10, 2026)

Avelo will maintain flights from:

  • Lakeland International (LAL)

  • Sarasota–Bradenton (SRQ)

  • Southwest Florida International (RSW)

  • Tampa International (TPA)

Travelers can still fly nonstop to nine popular cities—ideal for holiday travel or weekend escapes.

💲 Fare Details & Booking Tips

  • One-way fares start as low as $37–39, making these routes budget-friendly for both winter and holiday travel.

  • These extended schedules reflect Avelo’s strategy of rolling flight plans out several months at a time—common for low-fare carriers.

  • Booking early is key: holiday flights tend to fill up fast at low fare levels.

✈️ Airline Strategy & Local Impact

  • Avelo is doubling down on the East Coast, where demand remains solid, even as it pulls back on some West Coast operations.

  • By maintaining service through peak holiday travel, it keeps Southwest Florida competitive with hubs serving larger airlines.

  • RSW, SRQ, TPA, and LAL benefit from increased options for travelers to destinations across the eastern U.S.
