Ultra-low-cost carrier Avelo Airlines has introduced two new seating upgrade options providing more personal space and comfort for its passengers.

Customers purchasing Stretch+ will be seated in a row where the middle seat is intentionally left occupied and will be available for an additional fee on all Avelo flights beginning September 3, 2025.

Avelo Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Brian Davis said in a statement, "Stretch and Stretch+ reflects our commitment to giving travelers more choice and comfort while staying true to what sets us apart: convenient, reliable, and affordable service.”

He added, “We know comfort matters, and this new option offers a better experience for those who want it, without changing the value our customers expect from us."

Avelo currently offers a range of seating options. These include Standard, Stretch, and Stretch+. Stretch provides extra legroom, with pitch ranging from 32 inches to over 36 inches. Stretch+ features a unique upgrade where the middle seat is blocked. Customers can also purchase window and aisle seats in advance of their flight.

In addition to advance seating assignments, Avelo offers several unbundled options that give customers the flexibility to pay only for what they value, including priority boarding, checked bags, carry-on overhead bags and bringing a pet in the cabin.

Additionally, every child 14 and under will be automatically seated with an accompanying adult at no additional cost.
