California residents have a new option for a weekend getaway to Las Vegas.
This week, discount airline Avelo launched a new route from LA’s Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) to Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). In celebration of the new route, the airline is offering introductory one-way fares for $57.
The new flight route begins next month on May 3 just in time for Memorial Day holiday weekend and the summer travel season.
The flight was piloted during the Super Bowl, which Las Vegas hosted earlier this year, the airline shared in a news release.
“We were very encouraged by the strong Customer response we received when we offered special flights between BUR and LAS for football’s big game in February. We look forward to offering travelers Avelo’s everyday affordability, convenience, and reliability between these two vibrant cities,” Avelo Airlines’ Founder, Chairman, and CEO Andrew Levy said in the release.
The route will operate on a Boeing 737 aircraft and operate every Friday and Sunday.
The flights depart Burbank on Fridays at 12:45 PM, and arrive in Las Vegas at 1:50 PM. The return flight departs Las Vegas at 2:20 PM and arrives in Burbank at 3:25 PM.
A representative for Avelo told Travel + Leisure they designed the flight schedule to be accommodating for people visiting Las Vegas on a weekend.
Avelo, which was founded in April 2021, currently flys 14 different routes from Burbank Airport including Sonoma, CA and Portland, OR. The airline says they achieved the most reliable air service in 2023, as measured by the lowest cancellation rate, ranked by independent firm Anuvu.
Las Vegas has seen a surge of tourism over the last year, with a record-setting 57 million passengers in 2023.
