Avelo Airlines Celebrates UConn Huskies’ Victory with Exclusive Parade Discount Offer

Sunday, April 14, 2024

Avelo Airlines joins the jubilant crowd of almost 50,000 fans to honor the University of Connecticut Men’s basketball team as a proud sponsor at Hartford’s victory parade. Since 2022, Avelo has stood as a steadfast supporter of UConn Athletics, and it stands as the sole airline participant in today’s celebratory procession.

In recognition of this momentous event, Avelo extends a special offer to travelers: a $32 discount on round-trip base fares* for all flights booked between May 1 and June 21, 2024, using the promo code “UCONN32” on AveloAir.com. This $32 promotion pays homage to Donovan Clingan, the Huskies’ formidable center, adorned with jersey number 32, and honored as part of the 2024 Final Four All-Tournament Team. Clingan, a sophomore, recently announced his decision to enter the 2024 NBA draft.

Moreover, Hartford.com will host a ticket giveaway on their social media platforms, awarding roundtrip tickets to the creators of the “Best UConn Parade Selfies” tagged with @HartfordHasIt and @AveloAir.

Fifteen dedicated Avelo Crewmembers, including Giselle Cortes, the airline’s Head of Airports, will take part in the parade festivities. These Connecticut-based Avelo Crewmembers will joyously pedal the Avelo-themed Elm City Party Bike along the parade route, celebrating the back-to-back national champions in style.

Avelo Airlines Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said, “As a proud partner of UConn Athletics, we are excited to join Connecticut in celebrating the Huskies’ 2024 NCAA national championship. We applaud the team’s commitment to excellence and teamwork – two winning virtues our team of 1,000 Avelo Crewmembers embodies, as well.  We hope the $32 congratulatory discount will inspire fans to continue their celebration at one of Avelo’s 25 popular destinations.”

Operating from Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN), situated in Southern Connecticut, Avelo Airlines connects travelers to 25 destinations across 11 states and Puerto Rico. With this extensive network, Avelo proudly offers more nonstop routes from Connecticut than any other airline serving the state.
