This episode is all about ULCC’s with Travis Christ, Head of Avelo Marketing, joining the show. We were supposed to fly on Avelo’s inaugural from Orlando to Dubuque, Iowa but the flight was canceled due to DBQ Airport still establishing their security plan. Avelo had an awesome recovery effort which led to Travis joining the show. He tells us all about the new airline and about his path from ramper to airline executive.
Doug and Drew proceed with our ULCC run with plans to fly Avelo soon. We take you along for the ride which in avgeek Morse code is:
SFO-EWR-MCO-BNA-CID-DEN-SFO.
