A really interesting, mixed experience with Avelo, and it almost seems pointless to review them now…read morethat they left the West Coast. I will try to mix this review as both the company as a whole, and the Burbank location, as I had a much better experience with the location in Arcata, CA. Firstly, the price. Man oh man, there is absolutely no better price for an airline ticket that I have experienced since. I believe I had a $15 round-trip ticket from Burbank to McKinleyville and back once. That alone would give them a 5 star, no questions asked. And if I had reviewed them directly after my first few flights, this would be 5 stars. Let me get to the negatives, and circle back to the positives. My main concern was my most-recent visit to the Burbank location, and obviously the last one I will ever do because they closed (I even had a ticket to use that they cancelled on my with no warning but that's a separate issue). Active-duty military get two free checked bags. At the time I was active-duty, and this wasn't my first time using my military ID with them, and the other few times went off without any hitch whatsoever. But this time, the lady at the checked bag area said that my ID said an incorrect birthday. To her credit, the DOB is printed in black, and it overlays the black and white photo of me on it, so it's hard to see. She confused the 5 in "1995" for a 6, and said that my ID is invalid. I told her if she looked harder it is obviously a 5, but she accused me of essentially having confirmation bias and only seeing a 5 because I want there to be a 5. It's a government issued ID I was using for years to that point to get onto literal military bases. She then said I had to pay for my luggage. The problem with that is she is essentially accusing me of having a fake ID, military no-less. That's a federal crime, so if she truly believed that, she should have called the police. But instead it was just grounds for not wanting to give me a bag check. The ironic part of the "confirmation bias" is funny because she would ask a coworker and instead of saying, "what number do you think this is?" She would instead ask "This looks like a 6, right?" What coworker would say anything other than yes? After asking to see someone higher up (probably the only time I have ever done that in my life actually), one eventually came and saw me, told me my ID was good, gave me a checked bag, and just recommended I asked to military to issue me a new ID with a more clear 5. They never did because it was obviously a 5 and that would count as wasting time. I was worried the entire trip about the checked bags for the plane ride home, but it went off literally without a hitch. I guess that happens when people can tell the difference between a 5 and a 6. My last point that I want to bring up is that I had one more round-trip planned with them, but the cleared out of the West Coast way earlier than they said they would. That meant they gave me a flight credit of roughly $100 for an airline I could never use again. It took me many back-and-forths with the customer support team to finally get that money back not as a credit, but they eventually did it. So mainly, this airline was mostly pretty good, but gave me one very sour experience where they implied that I was some criminal, but not only criminal enough to not give something they said they would. That experience was a one star, most of the experiences are in the 4-5 star range, but the dishonest early closing brings them down to a 3, which I would argue should be a 2 but like I said, I got a $15 round trip once. That is amazing!

My complete and utter failure to win the lottery has me watching these oh so lucky travelers with quite a bit of envy. They roll up in the Escalade, and walk ten feet or so into a private aircraft (most often the assistant (s) has delivered the luggage) the plane buttons up and roars off to no doubt an exotic location where more luxuriating occurs (at least that's the way I imagine it). For those of us in the medical transport game, these private terminals are where we get fuel and meet our ambulance to head off to the referring hospital. Some are spartan affairs offering a clean bathroom, some hard candy, or fresh baked cookies. Other are quite big and decked out In the case of our stop in Burbank it was Million Air, and Million Air terminal is one of those decked out places. It was immediately apparent when we pulled in that we were the poor cousins in our King Air. From G650's to Global Expresses and all manner of planes in between there was probably 150 million at least parked around us (and yes one had an Escalade unloading people). This review is from the perspective of someone who get out of the plane and uses the facilities. I cannot comment on fuel prices, landing fees, or how the ground handlers were. Inside, the terminal was clean and well appointed. the furnishings were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean, and had the biggest bottle of Listerine I have ever seen. For us the big plus was the food. They had a mini 7-11 like set up with fountain drinks, snacks, and donuts that are on the house. It hit the spot. The staff was friendly as well.

Serious savings for those willing to forego some, if not all, comforts…read more The wife got us tickets from Burbank to Denver aboard Frontier Airlines for $26 per person. For such a low price, we were willing to deal with the narrow and non-reclining seats, our assigned seats not being next to each other, and even having to rebook our flight altogether because Frontier decided to cancel the original one. We could've paid a fee to pick our seats, but we decided that we could stand being apart for two hours to save some dough. Fortunately, we were both placed in a row that had one seat unoccupied. Frontier only does food and drink service for those willing to pay up. Pro tip: you can pack a lunch ahead of time and bring it through TSA! Frontier certainly isn't for everyone. I'm a skinny guy, but even I would've been very cozy with my rowmates if I had ended up in a full row. Frontier can be a good option if you're willing to roll the dice, and their fares still seem competitive even if you decide to pony up to suffer a little less.

My last flight here boarded early, and I showed up with time to spare and was so grateful I made it lol I've flown to SeaTac, PDX, and a few other places the last few years usually with great prices for round-trip. Grateful for the newer planes with more amenities and if you can do or upgrade premium class or better, absolutely try it #TreatYoSelf those complimentary drinks really make for a cozy flight or a great start to a mini vacay Alaska is the last terminal and deep in the back with tons of seating in the waiting area. Unlike LAX and larger International airports you usually board and unboard onto the "the apron" and up or down a ramp.
