Well everyone, it's ready! I stayed up most of the night to get this video edited as soon as possible. So be sure to give it some love! I invite you to join me on Avelo Airlines' inaugural east coast flight from New Haven, Connecticut (HVN) to Orlando, Florida (MCO). As always, the full flight is presented to you in its entirety, in crystal clear 4K! It was an awesome flight, full of special festivities, a full power rolling takeoff, two water cannon salutes, an amazing flight crew, many special dignitaries including the Governor of Connecticut and the CEO of Avelo Airlines, and even some college sports mascots! The views of Connecticut, the northeast, and Orlando were pretty amazing too. To my surprise, there was still an amazing display of fall colors around New Haven, which in conjunction with the clear day, made for some stunning conditions for this historic flight! So sit back, relax, enjoy that perfect wing view, and be a part of this historic flight for New Haven, Orlando, and Avelo Airlines!
Side note. This is todays upload, there will not be an additional video at 4:00pm. And for those of you waiting for the final leg of the Alaska Airlines milk run, I moved that flight from KTN-SEA to Saturday.
Thanks everyone for your continued support! Enjoy this one!
Hi
Love to see Avelo becoming a successful US Airline. Also was kinda funny to see the SWA interior. Overall nice flight and STUNNING VIEWS! Nice video SP👍
Thanks my friend. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
That’s really weird all they did was remove the heart logos 😂
N701VL did fly for SWA beforehand, so it makes sense.
Out of the three new airlines, Breeze, Avelo, and Aha, I like Avelo the best. I like the moves they’re making. Great 737 fleet. Even a good livery. Well done Avelo!!
I’m a big fan of Avelo too. I quite like Breeze as well. I haven’t flown aha yet. Thanks for watching my friend!
so glad that New Haven has increased airport service...though I live in PA. New Haven is one of my favorite places to visit....nice city with FUN restaurant scene
Avelo was doing so well that Tweed airport is getting an upgrade!
That's great to hear my friend. I'm glad it's doing well for them.
Thank you as always for posting these exciting flight videos. Avelo is really setting their goal even further. Great ceremony before the flight too. Again you have the best flight channel on CZcams in my book.
As always, I appreciate that my friend! Thanks for watching!
Now that’s a true “Turn n’ Burn”. Must’ve felt awesome!
Congrats SKYLITE , very nice video 👏👏👏👏
Learned how to fly out of HVN. Hoping Avelo the best of luck! Thank you for the quick upload! Safe Travels!
Thanks my friend. It’s always my pleasure. HVN would be a neat place to learn to fly. Definitely more scenic then where I learned to fly. Salina, Kansas…. Flat open farmland as far as the eye can see!
Beautiful end! It always amazes me transitioning through the cloud layer. When I get on the ground and look up, I'm still up there with the clouds.
Watching again from New Zealand and thoroughly enjoying!
Nice to see you visit my home airport to fly on Avelo and HVN’s inaugural flight to MCO. I live in East Haven (the town on the east end of the airport. Cant wait to get our runway extended and the new planned terminal on the East Haven side of Tweed.
I really enjoyed not only the flight, but also the airport and area. I really hope everything works out for Avelo at HVN. They said their bookings are really strong! Thanks for watching my friend!
Nice to see Avelo Airlines aircraft have wings...Great feature for a nice flight.
Yes, the wings are a great feature to have. I wouldn't want to be on a flight without them ahaha.
Very cool!!! Congratulations on being able to fly on, and film an actual route-inaugural flight! It’s another great video, as usual. In full-screen mode, I felt as if I were actually looking out the window at seat 24F! Beautifully clear and smooth day for flying, and the fire department salute at both ends, was extraordinary.
It’s very special to be able to board the aircraft from the ramp-level, instead of through a Jetway. You get a perspective of the airplane, that you just don’t get from up above. I can remember, as a child, boarding my first flights on Western Airlines’ Boeing 720Bs, from the ramp in SAN. Lots of airports, especially the smaller ones, had ramp-boarding in those days. SJC boarded from the ramp at Terminal C, until it was closed in 2010. Actually, many Latin American and Caribbean airports still board from the ramp to this day.
Thanks for watching my friend! I appreciate it. I'd have loved to fly on a Boeing 720 or 707. As a kid, the oldest aircraft I can remember flying were DC-8's, but never a 707.
Nice to see you back on the east coast!
I plan to be around the east coast a lot more in 2022. It’s very under served on my channel!
@@sla31 Awesome! Hope you can come to PVD again
One of these guys was taxing behind me and my instructor at tweed when we where in a piper warrior. I had the jaws theme playing in my head lol.
that is amazing now you can avoid the huge ny city airports and boston this is very convenient for people who live in the suburbs in Ct, RI,Ma,NY
Just in time for all the snow birds. I live 10 mins from the airport and seeing one of these fly over me this morning walking my dog was....startling lol.
Two 737s filled up that tarmac. nice vid.
Good to see Avelo expanding. I thought about flying them out of Burbank but changed my mind last second.
I’d definitely recommend them. They have great fares, and with their À la carte type booking style you can really customize your experience how you want. Their onboard product is honestly not bad, and IMO, is closer to Southwest than Frontier. And Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant would be their primary competitors on paper.
@@sla31 Good to know!
There are times I miss the fall foliage of NE autumns. It’s all tan sand over here, year round.
I was surprised there was still so much color in early November. At home, much farther south, half of the trees have Already lost most of their leaves. It was a nice surprise. Thanks for watching my friend!
That is one funky looking terminal!
Nice flight, never seen this route before.
This is ADORABLE. Good on you guys. I wish we could play this in Flight Simulator.
Great video! I had a blast
Thanks my friend. I had a blast too. As always, it was great to see you and everyone else! I saw your video was up. I’ll have to check it out when I get a minute.
Thanks a lot for the view 🙂
Hopefully you guys enjoy your flight
Very cool SP👍👍. Liked and enjoyed👍👍
Thanks my friend!
Now that’s a turn and burn 🔥
Congratulations skylines very nice 😘🙂🎑
OMG, I love this video, it's great 😍
I’m glad you enjoyed it my friend! Thanks for watching!
@@sla31 It's a pleasure to watch your videos
Congrats to the opening!
Thanks for watching my friend!
Congratulations!
Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 You're welcome!
Ever since this inaugural flight, they grew exponentially at HVN. They also send in -800’s now on certain Orlando flights.
I'm looking at potential flights through HVN right now. I've got a lot of Avelo credit to burn though haha.
Cool airplanes ✈️🙂
Thanks for watching my friend!
Inaugural flight from my home state.....awesome. Definitely great views heading over Long Island. Quite a smooth landing too. The CEO of Avelo must have taken the flight down also so he could speak at the podium in Orlando for the inaugural (return) flight to HVN. Ugh...that yellow thing on the wing was annoying the heck out of me! Wanted to flick it off! haha. Come on...were you not tempted to take souvenirs off that table for the MCO to HVN flight? lol
confident
Good morning
Congratulations to your successful amazing 😻🤩❤️
24:34 a lot of smoke. these planes might be quite old.
Man that was a fast upload
When it is an important flight like this, I do my best to get it out as quick as possible. As always, thank you for watching!
I will like to fly Avelo someday. My home airport ( MIA) seen some Ex Southwest Airlines 737-700 on the maintenance area so seems they are going to Avelo
For an ULCC they're pretty good. Typically, I don't enjoy flying on the ULCC's like Frontier, Spirit, etc. but I really like Avelo. Their onboard product seems to match a LCC more than a ULCC which helps. I hope you do get to try them out soon. Thanks for watching my friend.
Hi nice fly
Hi. Thank you.
No problem
Hey there. I was born in New Britain, and we always flew out of BDL. How long has New Haven been open? I never knew there was an airport there, unless it was built post 1980's? Nice flight.
Tweed has always been there in one form or another. They had Allegheny, Us Air, United (in the 90s weekly 737 service to Chicago and United Express), Delta, New Air (New Haven Air which mergers later became Business Express among others over the years. We even had an Allegheny Flight from New London crash in the 70s sadly. New London and Bridgeport had commercial service at once point (Us Airways express was the last one in each airport before they stopped).
The airport itself has been there since 1931, but it hasn’t always had commercial flights. Until recently American had service to HVN from CLT and PHL, but they ended service there in September. With only 5,600 feet of runway it’s definitely a small airport, but Avelo seems committed, and I think this has the potential to be something great as it moves forward. I’m not sure if this is true or not, but I heard that yesterday’s flight was the first “mainline” non-regional jet aircraft to fly passengers out of HVN ever.
@@sla31 I will certainly promote HVN to people, but we also need either American to return or another airline that flies to a hub for connecting flights for the business travel market. If Covid did not happen i think American would have stayed, maybe they may return. Previous commercial service did not last as long as US Airways Express/American (after the merger) was always consistent with us. But i see great things for Avelo (i hope they are brave try out San Juan, there is a market around here).
@@sla31 thank you for the full recording, appreciate it. I learned how to fly out of this airport in the early 2010s. The instructor I had told me that United used to operate 737s out of here way back in the 80s/early 90s. So it's been a while since mainline service was there, but not the first
Again thank you for this, wishing Avelo all the best going forward!
@@chanman4rings good info here. So the chatter I heard yesterday wasn’t completely correct haha. Thanks for the info my friend!
Didn't think Tweed could handle a 737
They take in C17's and 757's when the President and Vice President come to visit
Excelsior! great stuff, as always!
Thanks my friend! As always, I greatly appreciate it.
Was that Orlando international airport or was it a different airport you landed at
Yes this flight was to Orlando International Airport. Thanks for watching my friend!
This plane used to be as Southwest Airlines N905WN!
Yup, all of Avelo’s 700’s were formally Southwest birds. They all still have the Southwest interiors too 😂
I still love Southwest Airlines
Good safe airline travel! 😁
Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 Welcome! Thanks for posting! 😀
Now you have to try breeze new a220 that’s going to be a nice flight
I plan to take that flight. A lot of it depends on when it is scheduled. I do have my regular job to deal with, and I can’t always take off. We’ll see!
Did this aircraft belong to SWA before XP?
Yes. And as you noticed, they didn't really change anything haha. Thanks for watching!
Woah Early upload!!
When it’s an important flight like this. And I’m trying to get it posted as quickly as possible. I upload it at 10 AM instead of 4 PM. It’s rare, but does happen occasionally. Thanks for watching!
You were on the same flight with QFS aviation
I was. Also iTripReport, theplanesguy, and others. This was not the first flight I've shared with QFS either. Just off the top of my head, we were both on JetBlues's inaugural A220 flight as well. Thanks for watching my friend.
I like 737 700
Thanks for watching my friend!
I am just curious. In this video what is the top speed of this aircraft?
The top speed we hit on this flight was 506mph according to flightaware.
Why aren’t they using the jet bridge at New Haven???
I’m not sure. But, there was still a decent amount of construction going on inside the terminal, and the jet bridge attached to the second level. Everything we used was on the first level. Perhaps they will start to use it once the terminal is finished. But again, I’m not 100% sure.
To save money. ULCC try to avoid the bridge at the smaller airports if they can
Could you pick your seat or they are assigned
You can pay to reserve any seat in advance. If you choose not to, it's assigned at check in. They do not have seating like Southwest where you pick when you board.
I thought the video is posted at 4pm
Typically yes, however, on rare occasions I post videos at 10:00am if they are high profile flights that I’m trying to post as soon as possible. I took this flight yesterday and had it ready to post this morning, so it went live at 10:00am. Thanks for watching!
Amazing video did you know that I seen some Avelo airlines 737 700 flying out of Burbank
Thanks man. I had seen that they were operating the 700’s out of BUR too.
1:58:57 -- don't you think that's a pretty close shave with the jet passing at lower right?
Oh no, that’s pretty normal to be honest. Above 18,000 feet is all what is called Class A airspace. That’s 100% controlled airspace, which means every aircraft is being told exactly where to fly at all times by air traffic controllers. No one is allowed above 18,000 feet without a filed flight plan and being in constant contact with ATC. It looks close, and I can’t remember the exact minimum separation requirements in Class A airspace, but air traffic control wouldn’t have let either of us get that close if it wasn’t within limits. On top of that all commercial aircraft are equipped with a TCAS system. That’s an acronym for terrain collision avoidance system. And what this system does, in addition to warning about potential terrain, is that each aircraft is constantly talking with every other aircraft in the area. And if any two aircraft get too close to each other, breaking the minimum separation limit, the TCAS will go off in each aircraft, giving the pilots opposite commands. TCAS commands are the only commands that have a higher priority than ATC. If the TCAS system goes off, pilots are taught to immediately, and without question, follow the commands even if air traffic control is giving them a counter command. Anyway, the fact that neither plane made any sudden movements, indicates that neither of those systems went off. So. it looked close, but I am 100% sure it was within FAA limits. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 OK so there is a minimum distance planes have to keep at that altitude. I've seen planes go by before when I'm in a window seat, but never seen one go by that close. I figured each plane is monitored and is in constant touch with the controller. It just seemed abnormally close.
Bro That Is One Little Airport For The First Time
Tweed was definitely small, but they have big plans for the future. It was a nice airport, and I hope this Avelo deal continues to expand there.
@@sla31 copy that my friend
Beautiful 😍😍😍
Thanks for watching my friend!
@@sla31 It's always a pleasure
I'm getting worried that you might be stuck on airports due to mass flight cancellation by American Airlines over few days. Please reply.
No need to worry my friend. I’m home, and I made it home on American to boot. As always, thanks for watching!
Speaking about this video of SP? I have been imagine thos airlines kinda reminds me of a norwegian airlines that called ''Flyr''...Pause i dont know :) ?!
I’d honestly never heard of Flyr until now. Looks like a new company. Thanks for watching my friend!
No problem 😊. But if Flyr can fly to American too? And you may gonna fly with that too 😅 . I been do a Planespotter at the airport so many times until I saw Flyr out there and I really want to fly some of them too or one day if I can 🤔?
How many flights will you take in 2022 what’s your goal ?
Well, I don’t know for sure. But, to maintain my upload schedule, where I post at least three full flights every week. Then I have to take at least 156 flights next year.
Hello everyone 😁
Did they at least remove the SWA heart from the bulkheads? :)
They did haha.
nothing makes a flyer more cofident that they won't be part of a crash then a firetruck ceremony hmm
A 737 barely handles this SUPER SHORT Runway!! An A319 would handle much better
I don’t get it
You don’t get what? You’ll have to be more specific.
You can clearly tell it used to be a Southwest 737 700
Yes you can. But, if that helps Avelo expand more quickly and save some money then I’m fine it. I actually find southwest economy seats quite comfortable. So, this option is probably more comfortable than a new slimline seat would be anyways. Thanks for watching my friend!
why do they waste water by throwing it on the plane?
I’ve had other people ask this same question on other inaugural flight videos. And the answer is that they really aren’t wasting water. I mean, technically, they are…. But… Speaking as an aircraft rescue firefighter myself. Yes, that’s my day job away from YT. We’re required to check those trucks every day, and that includes testing the pumps and turrets to make sure everything is working correctly. Those trucks and personnel are there in case of worst case scenario type situations. Can you imagine a plane crashes, here comes the fire trucks, and the pumps are broken? That’d be a bad day. So, they have to run water through them everyday anyways. At my airport, if we have a fight that would like a water salute, we just wait to do the daily checks until then. Kill two birds type of deal. So, I’d imagine they did something similar. So, they’re not really wasting water. They had to do it regardless. Thanks for watching!
It’s a tradition when it comes to certain occasions like inaugural flights, retirement flights, etc.
That is literally a southwest interior lol
Cuz it's ex-Southwest 737-700
Yes it is. It’s an ex-Southwest aircraft. And honestly, I don’t mind. I always found southwest economy seats to be pretty comfortable. And if this helps Avelo save some money, and be able to put more aircraft into service quicker, then I don’t have any issues with it.
