LOS ANGELES; Sept. 10, 2024 – Avelo Airlines announced today the expansion of our Wine Travels Free Program, allowing customers to transport their favorite wines for free across the entire Western United States. Avelo flies to 14 destinations across the Western U.S.

Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy said, “Originally launched at our base in Sonoma County, the Wine Travels Free program has been a success, garnering appreciation from our Customers. Now, wine lovers throughout the Western U.S. – from the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma to wineries in Oregon, Washington and beyond – can take advantage of our program. We’re making it easier than ever to share your love for wine with family and friends or to simply bring a taste of your favorite Avelo West Coast destination home.”

Complimentary Wine Transportation: As part of their checked baggage allowance, Customers who are 21 years of age or older can transport one case of wine per person at no additional cost. Avelo defines one case of wine as a single box or case containing up to 12 bottles, weighing 50 lbs. or less.

Packaging Perfection: To ensure the safe journey of cherished bottles, Customers must adhere to packaging guidelines, securely encasing their wine in a protective case or cardboard box with suitable packing materials such as Styrofoam, bubble wrap, or cardboard liners. Please note: Avelo is not responsible for providing packing supplies at the airport.

Airport Checkpoint: Prior to departure, Customers must present each properly packed case of wine to an Avelo Crewmember at the airport ticket counter.
