Flying soon and dreading the feeling of being smushed next to a stranger for hours on end? We totally get it and have been there.

Thankfully, there are some airlines that offer different seating options, such as Business Class and First Class, to give you more room while you travel, but this perk does come at an additional cost. If you’re planning on flying with Avelo Airlines soon, you won’t want to miss this new announcement — TWO new seating options will be available for purchase later this year!

Avelo Airlines just announced that it will introduce two new types of seating on its airplanes starting on September 25th, 2025. Stretch and Stretch+ will be available for additional costs.

The “Stretch” option will give guests a seat with extra legroom, going from 32 inches to over 36 inches. Stretch+ will put travelers in a row where the middle seat is purposefully left empty. That means that instead of three people per row, the two travelers in this row will have more room to spread out and be a little more comfortable. Impressive, right?

Those flying with Avelo can book these upgrades online right now for flights on or after September 25th. Avelo markets itself as “America’s most convenient airline,” and while you can select these seats (or a standard seat) in advance, the cost starts at $14. However, parents flying with kids 14 and under can feel comforted that those children will be seated next to an adult in their party at no additional cost.
