McKinney National Airport is officially taking flight! And we got to be among the very first passengers to board Avelo Airlines’ inaugural flight from McKinney, Texas to Fort Myers, Florida!
This wasn’t your average airport experience either! There were news crews, free Avelo-branded cookies, cheerleaders from McKinney High School, and even appearances from McKinney’s mayor and Avelo Airlines’ CEO to celebrate the big day. Our flight to Fort Myers clocked in at approximately 1 hour and 57 minutes, while the flight back took about 3 hours. Not too shabby for a quick Florida getaway!
Avelo Airlines is currently the only commercial airline operating out of McKinney National Airport, with plans to serve 11 nonstop destinations by mid-December, including Las Vegas, Orlando, Denver, Nashville, and more.
As far as convenience goes at McKinney National Airport, parking is only $15 per day, with no hassle of navigating a parking garage.
And while there aren’t any concessions just yet, fret not! There’s a coffee cart with a fridge stocked with drinks and snacks at surprisingly affordable prices. A bottle of water was only $3! We’re excited to see how this airport grows, especially with another convenient travel option for North Texans!
