Flying Avelo Airlines' Inaugural Flight
ฝัง

- Hey guys! It's time for yet another special full flight video...but this one is REALLY up there and historic. In this vid, I travel aboard Avelo Airlines' B737-800 on their very first revenue flight ever. The route was from their base of operations in Burbank, CA up to Santa Rosa, CA. I had an absolute blast aboard this inaugural flight as the mood and atmosphere onboard from all the employees and Avgeeks to the toasts and announcements were all very special and memorable. This inaugural definitely had the most festivities of any retirement or inaugural flight and even though it was an ultra low cost carrier, I enjoyed every minute of it. I really think Avelo has a chance because they have a clear goal in mind with a strong leadership team to man the ship at the top. If they will actually cater to the passenger and treat people like humans instead of cattle, I think they'll gain a good reputation as time goes on. I will definitely be onboard again in the future to see what a normal experience on Avelo is like, but for now I really hope you guys enjoy this very special flight on the inaugural flight for this new U.S. airline!

That women looked very annoyed when he lowered his chair! 😂
Yeah he was getting the death stare
i got a complaint once but i only did mine as the guy in front of me reclined to the max ...
I have my fingers crossed for Avelo. I hope they're able to join the ranks of jetBlue and Southwest in the years to come. And that livery! Absolutely love it. Simple and clean yet still bold and distinctive.
Great way to start my weekend, beautiful filming as always!
Wow, I gotta say that intro was NICE
I agree
I was eagerly awaiting the upload of this inaugural flight, great job as always. Nonetheless, I wonder how long this Airline is gonna stick around but gotta wait and see. Hence, I totally agree with all you're assessments "The seating definitely reminds me of Spirit Airlines"
Great to see all the videos from BUR this week thanks to Avelo's launch. The airport really hit a peak in 2019 but dropped up dramatically last year and it's slowly recovering. Hopefully Avelo can bring it back up to 2019 levels.
One of the few airlines I know that their HQ is in one state and the base of operations are in another. Being Avelo's HQ is in Houston, but they operate out of Bob Hope Hollywood Burbank.
This is so exciting. When I first started visiting our Santa Rosa field office in 2011, the only option into STS was Alaska/Horizon. Otherwise you had to fly into SFO or OAK and deal with all the traffic. Lately, we have gotten so many new routes. Now this! Wishing Avelo much success!
The 1 dislike is the Alaska Airlines youtube channel.
??
@@theroastedbean9866 STS is very important for Alaska, so they don't like that Avelo started flying there.
@@inflightreports didn't know that- I live in seattle Alaska's main hub so I don't really think about the other airports to much to be honest.
2 dislikes now. Ughhhhh.. 🥴
@@MaryHernandez-5909 Probably Allegiant...
Thejazzguy13, thanks for sharing your video about your first time flying on Avelo Airlines inaugural flight!
As I work for one of the big airlines, I wish Avelo well!! It can never hurt to have a new airline fly to smaller airports and serve those markets that the bigger ones don’t, I feel those are overlooked and it shouldn’t be that way
Wow! It`s encouraging to see new companies starting their activities in so strange times. Here in Brazil we also have a new one called Ita that started two weeks ago with regular flights around the country! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing video! Avelo looks good, excited to see what the future holds for them!
Bro I wasn’t expecting you to be here I thought you didn’t even know about Burbank airport the closest airport to my house
Thanks bro! Yah definitely seemed really good, but I would like to try them again when they aren't trying highly to impress 😂
The amount of times watched this flight must have watched every av geeks video on it...u guys filled the freakin plane
Another great video! This is a very nice for a 737! Can't wait to see what is next!
yes they did very well.
I discovered this channel just a few days ago and I'm binge watching already. Each and every production is so enjoyable to watch.
This is the closest you have been to where I live. Thank you so much for traveling there.
Yes! Very close to where we now live (we used to live in High Point NC and I actually pointed out in one of his other videos that he literally flew over our subdivision in NC which was awesome seeing) We have family in Pittsburg and northeast Ohio so I feel like he broght home here to Burbank❤️✈️🌴 Thanks for posting and always look forward to your videos!
@@andreapeoplesmarwah7395 Thank you. I live in East Contra Costa County so seeing TJG13 only a couple hours away warms my heart. By the way, when you said you had family in Pittsburg, are you referring to Pittsburg, California or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (or both)?
crazycoollady1999 Pittsburgh, PA☺️ Since living in California (we used to live in Bay Area also), I confuse the spelling of the cities. We left NC for our jobs here in CA then made our final move to Southern California nearly a year ago☺️🌴
crazycoollady1999 We lived in Contra Costa - San Ramon! Worked in Oakland.
@@andreapeoplesmarwah7395 That's awesome you have family in Pittsburgh, PA. I have always wanted to go to Pittsburgh, PA.
As someone who lives not too far away from Pittsburg, CA, I have actually heard of people spell Pittsburg, CA as Pittsburgh.
I love your amazing flight videos ✈️😎
It's nice to see a more 'Ryanair' type airline offering low fares like Avelo are. Of course you have other ULCC over in the states but the pricing structures seems to keep prices the same as other airlines so it's pretty expensive to fly compared to Europe.
I really hope Avelo can push on and build up a big network around the States. Especially for when I'm next there in February ;)
Great video mate!
Thank you Mr. JazzGuy. I have seen that a lot lately and did not know. I love that fact that you provide information with the video on all sorts of things like what we are seeing below and other things. Keep up the good work.
Wow, just wow! This was amazing Chris and among my favorite videos of yours! Maybe they’ll come to LEX or CVG!😸😸
Back from 1987 to 1989 I worked at STS for United Express Airlines. Since then I moved out of the area. I wished I was part of that inaugural fright for Avelo Airlines and wished to be part of the ground crew!
0:11 i can’t wait to see that flight
A new subscriber. I live close to that airport, the new terminal just opened and it looks really nice and spacious. Hoping you visit the airport soon. It was needed for a growing area!
Just found this channel..... Noted there were a number of "avgeeks" on board. Have only watched iTrips vlog of this same trip.
Interesting to get two different views of the same trip. I especially liked your call out of the various geographical features that slid by on departure from BUR. Was really amazed at the low water levels in the reservoirs across the state, especially northern CA.
I'm going to peruse a few more of your vlogs.
Such great rates! Keep supporting this startup airline !!
I liked the video overall. It's nice to see mainline aircraft return to STS. The Sonoma County and Napa County regions are beautiful...been there several times.
Congrats on the inaug! I was thinking of flying this too, but it's a logistical nightmare doing it all in one day coming from and returning to Omaha.
- Red
Yah man, almost couldn't make this one myself and thx!
Hopefully Midwest Express starts up as a brand new airline and the inaugural flight will be form Milwaukee to Omaha!!!
@@thejazzguy13 I like your videos a lot. You're the best aviation person on TH-cam. I love the music at the end of your videos. I wish you would fly Eastern Airlines inaugural flight on May 28th from Chicago to Sarajevo.
Love your video! Best wishes for Avelo in the future...deserves to succeed!
You will love San Francisco when you get there. Be sure to check out the cable cars. .
Santa Rosa is at least 50 miles away from San Francisco...
Wow I used to live in burbank.
I would drive by that airport a lot and also see some planes with my dad.
Good old days.
Love this video so so much! My favorite airline is Alaska Airlines and I don't think you have ever tried out there 900/800 product from seattle, truly an amazing airline I would love to see them on your channel especially from my hometown seattle
He flys alaksa alot.
@@NervousHagrid2.0 He only flew the milkrun once, on a 737-700
I thought there were a lot more than that.
We wish Avelo good luck. Let’s hope they will be on the ranks of JetBlue and Southwest.
Awesome! I thought you were going to do this and I wish I could be there for it. It looked very special with all kinds of those goods.
Wow
What a flight!
Avelo trip was amazing !!
I saw this plane earlier today. Hope I can fly with Avelo soon.
Sick Vid!
Totally 💯
Awesome trip report! The crew were very nice and friendly. Also, the legroom looks quite good for an ULCC. I hope to be able to fly with them in the future.
I know I might be jumping the gun, but Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant have two potential competitions.
Beautiful looks from the air
like the ground identifications
Awesome video I love the airline tail and name thank you for doing the first flight of the new Us Airline
Awesome video.... I spotted myself in this vid! Lol. I'm looking forward to flying Avelo again in about 6 months to see if they can keep the same evergy and service that they currently have
Those seats are so slim....Just like what you'd find on a KIA Sorento.
Just realized it isnt avelos first landing...its actually the companies first landing under the avelo brand...its existed under many names
Cool ! Hi from Santos - São Paulo - Brasil !!
Ok ok we fly
Thought there would have been a water cannon salute for them.
I wonder if it’s worth it to fly that airline
Can’t wait until avelo comes to new haven ct aa is making a killing out here
5:47 Yes, let's go Pens!!!
Very cool
Love the livery!
Always 👍 from Russia
Believe it or not, United used to fly 767s into Burbank and Long Beach back in 1986/87.
I wanna fly avelo now!!!!
Me to
Two subjects never addressed here--who came up with the name 'Avelo'? And will they ever join one of the Big 3 FF programs? So your a/c had a 4hr layover before heading back to BUR--what were your plans upon arrival? Did most of the avgeeks mill around till departure? Was surprised to see AS and AA parked on the ramp,guessing Avelo is the only airline flying mainline jets to Santa Rosa--would be a great marketing ploy to have one or more wineries feature their product onboard on Santa Rosa departures--would be nice to feature some sort of service upgrade(seats,catering,bonus mileage) for those willing to do so as a future idea
there doing flights from kalispell to burbank this summer
HOW HAS IT BEEN A MONTH ALREADY. I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS LAST WEEK.
What is ULCC ? Any rude comments from anyone will be met with the same. This inquiry is to the jazz guy.
That'd be ultra low cost carrier 👍🏻
Like the livery. 👍
Maybe when they make their way east, Macon, Ga will be considered. We have Contour Airline that flies only to BWI. Another airline would be great
Hi 🙋♂️
Wow good for them nice bag and nice cookies at 23:22 and 23:23
Nice 👍
Great video ty.
The same lower back breaker seats as Spirit and Frontier
Wish they would try Bur-MSP. No airline flies that route nonstop. You think Delta or Southwest would..but maybe Avelo could make it work.
Hi!
ItripReport, Jacob's Aviation, Atlanta Aviation, theplanesguy were all on this flight
The most junior F/A? It's day 1 they're all junior😂😂😂😂. Is that snack bag going to be the standard offering or will there be a buy on board option when they expand to longer segments?
I feel like this airline might make a peopleexpress mistake of aggressively expanding, I hope I'm wrong, but I'll check in a year from now.
I’m guessing u got to Burbank by flying to lax from atl, then lax to Burbank southwest ?
You can drive fromLAX to BUR. There the same city.
@jazzguy13 Since you are based out of Pittsburgh you should do a video flying out of or into ERI, my hometown airport.
This is your first time on Avelo Airlines?
Yeah its the first flight kinda hard to get on before that.
Can we just take the moment to analyze Alaska Airlines still uses EYEBROW WINDOWS 9:43
We finally got an american ryanair
That lady behind him was pretty mad that he was reclining the seats far.
in 2022 united justed started fiying in to trinidad
I hope they really know what they are doing , and don't expand so fast it bankrupts them. That has happened to many startup airlines. I see They just started flights out of Burbank, and already announced they are opening a base in Connecticut. I'm not sure that is a wise move this early in their operation.
Avelo airlines needs to get 737-900
Fly to Omaha when the new Midwest Express has their inaugural flight from Milwaukee to Omaha!!! The old Midwest got bought out by Republic and Frontier and I miss their chocolate chip cookies and first class seats!!! When this happens I bet you a bunch of AV Geeks will want to fly to Omaha!!!
Me when I see they fly to Bozeman Montana 👀
Lots of people on this flight had boarding pass issues
The boss baby the season 2 the PU the Sigh and Cough the go Santa Rosa CA the STS airport!

The boss baby the PU the sighing and coughing the Avelo Airlines the Santa Rosa CA the STS airport the good!
To expensive for Avelo at my airport it’s $600 for two people to fly to the only location Los Angelos on Alaska airlines I can fly for $259
most cameras I have seen on an airplane.
Why did they have to use the worst seats possible?!!
13:30 RIP NAYA RIVERA
You should have mentioned Santa Rosa is the home of the Charles Schulz Museum for Charlie Brown/Peanuts gang fans to go visit.
Dare I say I thought Burbank was in Alaska
A budget sairline started from United employees? Sorry, but that's going to be an Avelno from me.
LOL $10 bag fees?! Try $40 each way!
Early gang
