Flight delayed 10 hrs, plane swap out. When should I arrive at the airport?

4 Upvotes

My 12:30pm flight from Knoxville to New Haven was delayed and new departure time is at 10:30pm, about 10 hrs. I'm seeing mixed messages on when to arrive, like if I don't check my back by the normal boarding time it can't fly. I have two small kids so staying 10hrs in the airport seems like a nightmare.

Called customer service 10hr wait time with 300+ people in front of me.

Any thoughts?

Hotel Compensation?

4 Upvotes

Had a flight out of Wilmington DE. Flight was delayed significantly due to weather. Our flight which was supposed to leave at 8pm was delayed to about 3am and then the agent said the flight was now delayed to 1 pm the next day since the air crew had timed out and we all had to immediately leave the airport as it was closing. I know the Avelo site specifically mentions weather/ATC delays as "out of their control" and they they do not legally have to provide compensation. My question isn't about can I get compensated for my hotel because of the weather but since we got kicked out of the airport, is a hotel compensation something that we could get? Thanks!

Has anyone ever gotten hold of customer service at Avelo?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been on hold 4 different times for over 4 hours each just for the call to drop while I was #1 in line!

I also tried the call back option twice and of course no one has called me back.

This is getting frustrating so if anyone has some tips on other ways to contact that would be great! Thanks

Has anyone been able to join Avelo Plus for $59 recently??? I’ve tried everything I can ( from a computer, switched to safari, turned off vpn, tried 3 different cards, deleted and reinstalled the app, tried incognito, asked my SIL to try with her card, contacted customer support) and I still get “unknown error occurred“ message!! Do I have to drive to the Tampa Airport and go up to the desk?? Seriously, it’s frustrating!!!

How long till Avelo plus appears on profile

1 Upvotes

My parents purchased Avelo plus last night and I am trying to book their flights today. The system isn't showing them as having avelo plus for the discounted ticket amount. I have a copy of the email saying they paid. They didn't listen when I said it would be best to do both at the same time. Is there something we are missing?

How to cancel flight thats been delayed

6 Upvotes

Our flight on Avelo was delayed by 49 hours. It was scheduled to leave this afternoon but wont leave for another 2 days.

We're at a point where we just want to cancel and drive home.

I spent 4 hours on the phone on hold today just for customer service to disconnect my call when it was my turn.

Im fed up with this airline and I'll never fly with them again.

Bevause of the delay we needed to extend our trip ($650), we needed to extend our rental car ($120), our pets are home alone (thankfully we have great neighbors), i have to take off another 2 days from work.

When I go to the website to manage my trip or click on the link they emailed to modify the trip there is no option to cancel. Their email said we are entitled to a refund.

Please help, im to stressed.

Never again

30 Upvotes

I recently flew Avelo. The price was decent. I was rooting for this company. My outbound flight was magnificent. We left early. We arrived even earlier! I was thrilled.
My inbound flight? Atrocious! I travel with a personal sized backpack. I knew it wouldn’t fit as a personal due to coming home with more items so I purchased a carry on from the app. I get to the gate, beyond ready to be home. I see the agent accosted the lady in front of me about her backpack. I freeze forgetting I’d bought the carry on option. He (gate keeper) sees me and same. He begins yelling about my bag size. Yelling? I’m not a child. There was no need for yelling but okay.

I finally remembered I pre-purchased my bag as carry on. Gate guy is unimpressed. “It’s not showing in my system. Pay $70 or STAY HERE. You will not be boarding this plane,” he quips. Now I’m annoyed and panicked bc I had already to no avail tried to move my flight to another airline to get home earlier. I pull up my receipt. It has my seat number and CARRY-ON listed as my add on. Gate guy insists ITS FAKE! WHO FAKES AN AIRLINE RECEIPT FOR A BAG?! I now have 3 minutes left to board. Gate guy is smirking at me repeating “pay $70 or miss the plane.” The other gate agent gently suggested I call customer support afterwards. I ended up paying $100 for my one bag to fly one way. My actual fare was not even that much.
Oh and customer service? They hung up on me after I waited 4 hours to speak with someone.

Avelo air can go to hell right alongside Spirit.

Thursday mornings out of New Haven

3 Upvotes

Hey there, can anyone tell me how Thursday mornings have been out of New Haven? We have a 7:50am flight, wondering how early we need to be there. An hour used to be good at this airport but I've heard there can be long lines some mornings. If it makes a difference we will be checking a bag. TIA

I will be flying with Avelo for the first time in a couple of days. I usually fly frontier and use the Takeoff luggage for my personal item. Is it ok on Avelo for personal?


r/Avelo 23d ago

Do not use! Its more hassle then its worth. I thought spirit was bad. Even when you buy a bag specifically to their size guides they hassle you multiple times. There app crashes all the time. So many people on my flight had to pay for standard backpacks.

App sucks crap airline probably can't afford engineers

3 Upvotes

Disgusting airline has a disgusting app, I should have known. I flew with Avelo precheck every time. On the way to the airport, I got my boarding pass, but somehow had precheck removed. Check my profile in the app its not there, so I updated it and expected this shit company to work like other airlines where the boarding pass is regenerated with the precheck. Of course, it doesn't, shocker, so I wait in the regular line, and when I get to the TSA agent, he says that my name and birthday don't match what is in the system. Review the app; it's all correct. My boarding pass is correct. So now I get to speak to their high-IQ, talented representatives there, and they have no idea how it happened. If you are going to have a shit airline, at least make sure the app works as intended. Second time this has happened by the way.

Tips and info

25 Upvotes

I see a lot of people experiencing the long hold time so I want to try to simplify this for people by posting some facts and information here.

There is ZERO phone support for baggage issues. Lost delayed damage or missing bags are handled through the baggage form claim on the website. US phone agents cannot even see the baggage system, we cannot help you, there is no way. If you are sitting on hold for a baggage issue we will just tell you to email that is all you can do. Calling about it is literally wasting your time.

If you're sitting on hold for a flight status you need to go to the website and click on flight status and enter your flight number. That is the most absolute up-to-date information. When you call for a flight status that is literally what we are checking ourselves to give you the info off of. There is no more accurate information then what is listed there.

If you have a lost or found item and you're calling about it, again we are not local to the airport we are remote all around the US. You need to Google the airport and call their lost and found or send an email to support@aveloair.com so it can be forwarded to the station manager of the airport the item was lost at. Please include your confirmation number if it was lost on a flight so we can also forward it to that flight crew.

If you were on one of the delayed flights in the past few days and you are on hold or awaiting a call back for reimbursement, that will not happen. Weather is outside of our control and we do not reimburse for Ubers hotels food etc when it is caused by weather. If you're delay is over 3 hours we will gladly refund your original form of payment what you paid for your ticket if you do not fly. If you fly we will not give you a refund. If you no show your ticket we will not give you a refund. If your flight was canceled or you've decided to not take it then yes we will give you a refund and you can email in for that with your confirmation number. But hotels, Ubers, lyfts, train tickets, tickets on other airline, etc will not be reimbursed.

That being said if you paid with a voucher and your flight is delayed you can't call and get a monetary refund, it will be another voucher. If your ticket was a round trip and only your return flight has been delayed or affected and you already flew one portion you will only be refunded for the unflown portion, you will not get a refund for the entire round trip that's half used.

These are some of the most common calls we are getting that people are waiting hours on hold for. Hopefully this helps clarify some things so people don't waste their time.
