With flights as low as $56

Add Charlotte's Concord-Padgett Regional Airport to the list of direct flights from Albany. Avelo Airlines made the announcement Thursday. Avelo CEO Andrew Levy: 

We are excited to launch another link between New York’s capital and the Carolinas. Our purpose at Avelo is to inspire travel with affordable, reliable and convenient experiences: the airports at Concord and Albany both deliver on that score, with shorter lines and fewer crowds, and we are confident travelers from across the Charlotte region as well as those in upstate New York will value this new route.

Flights will be offered twice a week - Tuesdays and Sundays and begin immediately. Avelo is offering $56 one-way flights to celebrate the new destination. Travelers can book flights at AveloAir.com.
