Avelo Airlines Reviews Here are a few avelo air reviews left by people who used their services: I had my doubts after seeing bad reviews, but both flights were seamless. They left on time and arrived early, even though it was spring break. The smaller airport at Wilmington was easier and quicker to navigate. – S Lane My experience with Avelo Airlines was one my family and I would never forget. We had a great time flying from Orlando to new haven. But coming back to Orlando my family and I were surprised when the flight attendant recognized my daughter for her upcoming birthday on November 28th. She had the passengers flicker their lights to congratulate her which was very special as this was our first time flying in years. I was one happy mama and proud as well. – Terrica Lewis Flew on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. No problems at all. I have to admit I do not like that we not even offered a drink. So you need to make sure that you carry on a beverage of your choice and any snacks as there is nothing on the plane. The plane was not full so the stewardess offered people to move to another seat so they could stretch out. It was very expensive but I assume that it was because of Holiday travel. I would fly again, as very pleased with this airline – C Crum No complaints. Super cheap. Direct flight. No delays. As you should expect, ones to pay for checked bags. Absolutely going to fly them again. Old plane, but Newport News airport is easy, and everyone was nice. – Lynn Stravino Editor's Two Cents My most memorable flight was the one I took on an Avelo. Raleigh to New Haven, CT last summer. When I boarded the aircraft, I discovered that it was one of our flight attendants' first flights following training. It was a neat moment when everyone clapped after the announcement. Our captain is Captain Taco, the lead flight attendant may have mentioned during the welcome announcement. A few of us exchanged the "Did I just hear that?" look, so I wasn't the only one who heard that. Immediately following takeoff, as soon as we leveled off, a man two rows in front of me experienced a medical issue and passed out. The woman two rows ahead of him had to be a doctor because she sprang to her feet, put him down, and put on an oxygen mask. We were able to safely arrive in Raleigh after he eventually turned around a few seconds later and the flight crew moved the rows around him to make room. The woman in front of me asked the pilot if he truly was Captain Taco, to which he replied "No," before the man was taken off by EMTs and we were permitted to disembark. Then she inquired as to his true name. His reply? "A complete mystery." 10 out of 10. would take off once more. At first, I was very cautious. When I discovered that the $69 price excluded the required seat selection, they gave me major Spirit Airline vibes. I therefore had the worst expectations possible in the days before my trip. Fortunately, the entire journey from Palm Beach to Connecticut was extremely enjoyable. A few things to note: it was a little unsettling that no staff members appeared at the gate until roughly 30 minutes before boarding. However, the personnel was really kind and pleasant. Although they had overhead covering, the plane was being boarded outside. The cost of a seat is determined by how comfortable it is; more legroom, window or aisle seating, and overall location on the aircraft will cost you more. There is no infotainment of any kind on this very basic aircraft. They did, however, provide a small bottle of water and some shortbread cookies as snacks. It was the same process to disembark as it was to board: descend the stairs, pass beneath a makeshift canopy, and enter the airport. Nothing fancy at all, but it was still a fun experience. My total round-trip airfare came to $72.74 (tax included), plus $31 for the seat ($16 & $15), a $15 promotional fee, and $65.26 in additional fees. Thus, the $69 round-trip ticket that was advertised came to $154. Every other airline I researched was *promoted* at $290+. The round-trip cost would increase by $84 if I chose to upgrade to a more expensive non-emergency row seat. A few other things to consider are how small the airplanes are. Thus, stay away from Avelo Air if small aircraft frighten you. Bring portable batteries for your devices because there is no power in the seats. Would I Take an Avelo Again? Yes, I would. Given the competitive pricing, I might even think about purchasing one of the more expensive seats. To Wrap It Up! After reading all of the Avelo Airlines reviews it is clear that they are best in service. If you are contemplating on whether or not to choose their service then by all means go ahead with them! That was all for information regarding Avelo Airlines. Thank you for reading up till here. I hope you found the information useful. Let me know in the comments your thoughts on the same.

Iceland has its fair share of folktales and historical sagas, making it an adventurous and unique experience for a person to have. There are places that you can visit which will give you some of the most unique and imaginative adventures of your life. With a collection of 200 volcanoes, Iceland boasts remarkable features worth visiting. Visitors' unworldly experiences should be preserved, as industrialization can easily misuse natural resources. This Is The Best Time To Visit Iceland & These Are The Things You Should Do! Sustainable development is one of the significant parts of the Tourism Policy Framework 2020-30 that the Ministry of Culture and Business Affairs has developed. Quality of life of the natives, positive visitor experiences, conservation of the environment, decreasing carbon footprint, innovation, and creation are the highlights. Things to do and places to visit in Iceland reflect these highlights. If you have an active imagination, Iceland is the place to go! The land of fire and ice gives you the feel of returning to the New Stone Ages, where horse riding is regular. Want to know the best time to go to Iceland? Read along to know the best time to visit Iceland. Iceland Tourism is one of the major sectors from which the country gains economic stability; however, it was severely impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, the tourism economy accounted for 73% of the total tourism expenditure. However, tourism in Iceland saw a gradual fall as there was a 78% decline in the rate of tourists visiting in 2020. Even though the tourism visitation rate has recovered in 2021, it remains below the actual rate in 2019. The country needs to have a considerable rise in the number of tourists visiting the country so that it can contribute to the GDP. So, visiting Iceland will contribute to the growth and development of the economy! What Is The Best Time To Visit Iceland? You can visit Iceland based on your planned itinerary, even though it is generally said that summer is the best time to visit! If you plan to check out the northern lights the best time of year to visit Iceland is to book your tickets between September and March. If you have other plans related to summer activities, you should visit Iceland in the summer between June and August. However, if you are tight on the budget, you should visit Iceland between January to May. Flights, accommodations, and car rentals will be quite cheap. The country as a travel destination is moderately expensive with its natural wonders and captivating landscapes. The tickets from the USA to Iceland range between $700 and $1100. You can easily save money and travel with a fixed budget! What Are The Things That You Can Do In Iceland? "How much would we accept for a mountain? Two billion? Twenty billion?" is a line that will resonate with you from the documentary Dreamland released in 2009 internationally. The film shows some beautiful and untouched nature being exploited by industrialists and business people. I also learned from the documentary that exploiting something that does not need improvisation can nullify all attempts to grow, develop and succeed! The country experienced a crash in the economy in its effort to make it the largest aluminum producer in the world. It wastes the unlimited wealth of opportunities Iceland has from its natural resources and features. Based on this realization, I have composed a list of places that shows how nature can be a perfect strategy to bring in money! know more about the best time to visit Iceland! 1. Don't Miss The Northern Lights The Northern Lights is one of Iceland's main attractions, also known as aurora borealis! They are known to be elusive as there must be perfect conditions to see them, such as less or almost no clouds, no light pollution, and flaring activity in the magnetosphere. It is a natural display of light that can only be seen between the months of winter, from September to March. The attraction is only visible in the northernmost parts of the world. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the green, gold, and purple waves dancing in ribbon-like formation. There is no telling when they will appear, or for long they will appear in the sky; however, there are probabilities to ensure you see them. Guides in those areas do have an understanding of the appropriate vantage points. 2. Give Horseback Riding A Shot Icelandic horses are different from normal horses worldwide with their muscular build and short legs! They are quite popular for their reliability. They are sturdy and smaller in their size and are often confused with ponies instead of horses. Going horse riding across the ice is a perfect way to experience the country and the riding. The breed is actually from Scandinavia and has evolved differently across the ages. 3. Visit The Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon The Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon is a lake filled with glaciers; this should be on your bucket list if you visit Iceland. Some icebergs make a sound as they crunch and impact each other. You can take a zodiac boat ride or stay on the shoreline, where you can watch the seals dip into the lake. You can walk down to Diamond Beach from the Lagoon with jet-black sand and glistening icebergs creating a stunning visual of the natural landscapes. 4. Go Snorkeling Between Tectonic Plates One of the best snorkeling spots in Iceland visits Silfra Fissure, where you will experience a dramatic visual representation of a glacier melt-water-filled rift. The tectonic plates between Eurasia and North America are drifting apart. You will find yourself a dry suit, a guide, and snorkeling equipment with an entrance fee to Silfra starting from $119. You also get cookies and hot chocolate once you have completed the activity. 5. Tour The Golden Circle The most sightseeing route, you must take a tour of the Golden Circle as it consists of the 3 major attractions, namely Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Thingvellir National Park. These locations are accessible from Reykjavik, the capital city. Thingvellir National Park is a natural beauty and is quite important as the tectonic plates of Eurasia and North America are drifting apart in this very area. The location has waterfalls, deep gorges, and lava fields. The Gullfoss waterfall is 105 feet tall and cascades down two rocky tiers getting the name "Golden Falls." Visitors often find a rainbow over the waterfall, making it a beautiful visual. 6. Voyage Into Ice Caving And Glacier Hiking Frozen landscapes are scattered across Iceland with floating icebergs, ravishing blue ice caves, and extensive glaciers. It is the winter months when you can see Iceland in all its glory when the environment reflects sparkling snow and obscure darkness. The glaciers are the perfect frozen attractions you can access if you love hiking. It is something that can be performed throughout the year. You must wear crampons to walk the ice so that you encounter the indomitable giants up close! Do not miss the ice caves just below the Katla volcano, with a variant of color in blue and white, creating a more gorgeous experience than you can ever have. However, ice caves are safer in winter as there is less risk of collapsing or falling rocks causing serious injuries. To experience the ice caves, the best time to visit Iceland is in the winter months! 7. Hop Into Natural Hot Pool Strokkur is the perfect place to start if you want to hop into a natural hot pool! The hot springs go up to 65 feet every 5 minutes, along with mud pools and steaming fumaroles surrounding it! The abundance of volcanoes has created geological activities such as mud pools, hot springs, and volcanic vents; as the land of Iceland is only a few million years hence, it is still alive. The erupting hot springs and mud pools are a perfect escape for tourists, and it helps them relax. The natural hot pools will ensure that relaxation is part of your itinerary after trying trekking or snorkeling. 8. Enjoy The Westfjords View Are you a nature person? Most people travel to North and South Iceland, which is common for most. Don't you want to experience something off-road and unique? Let me highlight some attractions that fulfill your craving for mysticism, magic, and folklore. A cultural hub, Westfjords is engrossed in natural beauty, such as Hornstrandir with bird cliffs, Dynjandi waterfalls, Arnarfjordur Bay, Flatey Island, and Bolafjall mountain. The staggering beauty of the locales is fascinating and boasts of cultural history. 9. Swing Into The Blue Lagoon Spa A geothermal spa in Iceland has become popular as The Blue Lagoon, which has one of the most beautiful surroundings and an atmosphere that relaxes your senses. It is closer to the airport, so with a busy itinerary, you can easily visit the place. Blue Lagoon tours and the Shuttle bus to the Lagoon make it an easier place to visit. It is, however, an expensive experience. Hence, you can choose other areas, such as the Myvatn Nature Baths and Secret Lagoon. 10. Ramble On To Lake Myvatn In North Iceland The area of Lake Myvatn is geo-thermally active. Therefore, hot pools and nature baths are spread across one of the largest bodies of water in Iceland. After a long day of exploring the beauty of Iceland and performing activities, enjoying the geothermal lake is the perfect way to end your day! It is also a cool place for bird spotting, as there are 58 species. One of the biggest collections of flora and fauna, the lake is a beautiful place to visit where you can see Dimmuborgir. These volcanic rock formations are haunting and alluring while the name is equally exquisite, "Dark Fortress." 11. Take A Food Tour Walk In Reykjavik You have to enjoy the crowd in Reykjavik with its delicious food and the exciting nightlife. The nightlife continues till 4 AM as in the summer. You can enjoy yourself to your heart's content as you can see that it's bright as daylight outside, even during the middle of the night. The city has authentic places to visit eateries, ensuring a beautiful personal experience. You should try the modern and traditional classic items popular in Iceland, skyr and Icelandic lamb soup. The soup represents what Iceland truly means! You can walk down Laugavegur Street, where you can find perfect places for food and drinks. Take advantage of the Icelandic Lamb hot dog you can try in one of the original food stalls from 1937. You can visit Cafe Loki, situated across from Hallgrimskirkja church, where you can try various Icelandic delicacies. You can't miss Rye Bread Ice Cream! I would also recommend Black Death or the special beer drinks that are well-known across Iceland. 12. Go Whale Watching On A Cruise Whale watching is one of the best experiences when you visit Iceland, especially because there are various species of dolphins, porpoises, and whales. There are tours from Husavik, Akureyri, and Reykjavik; hence, you can visit one of these places to access the abundant animal traffic. There is a probability of watching killer and fin whales; however, there is a higher chance of humpback and minke whales. 13. Get A View Of The Fagradalsfjall Volcano Eruption From A Helicopter One of the hottest fissure openings in Iceland is Fagradalsfjall Volcano which you can visit by flying around in a helicopter. The tour is 20 minutes, and a guide will tell you all about the active volcano. On tour from the helicopter, you can see the aquamarine waters, which are based on Faxafloi Bay, and pass over Reykjavik city, getting a bird's eye view. 14. Try Snowmobiling From Reykjavik It is in the Gullfoss waterfall to try a snowmobile tour based on the second-largest glacier, Langjokull. The glacier is snowy, and snowmobiling is a perfect way to feel the glide across the landscape. Conclusion So, what do you think? Ready for a trip to Iceland? The places I have listed will satisfy you if you are a travel bug. Experiencing amazing Iceland will ensure you see all the places that tickle your fantasy and experience nature at its best. Iceland has a mysticism to it, so visiting quaint little towns, remote lighthouses, mountains, thermal pools, and eateries across town are different ways to explore the city's culture and ethnicity.

Most of us think of the Nadi resort buffets when we are in Fiji. However, if you want to know the real food and soul of Fuji, you have to be in Suva. It is the “Melting Pot of the Pacific.” So, the food stalls and shops you find here are not tourist traps. With the fragrant smoke of BBQ everywhere, you always crave more. Furthermore, the sweet smell of pineapples and the earthy aroma of turmeric here are addictive. Also, there is a brilliant fusion of cooking techniques here. The food here blends the bold spices of India with the stir-frying technique of Canton. So, in Suva, staying cooped up in the hotel for breakfast would be a waste of time. So, let’s lace up the shoes and eat our way through the real Fiji. For more practical tips on exploring the Fiji capital like a local, you must read my Suva travel itinerary. Stop 1: Morning At Suva Municipal Market  The Suva Municipal Market is the place where you breathe and feel the city. If you have the right Suva market guide and you arrive here by 8 AM, you will find the freshest produce here. Exploring the Municipal Market is also very crucial if you want to explore the culture of Suva. • Try Tropical Fruit Tasting In Suva  The Fiji Gold pineapples are different. These fruits are sweeter and smaller compared to the alternatives found in Western supermarkets.  Other tropical fruits you will find here are Fijian chestnuts or Ivu nuts and Soursop. Soursop has a creamy custard flavor. • The Spicery Head to the spice floor of the market, and it’s okay if you feel sneezy with the aroma of coriander and cumin. Here, you will find authentic Garam Masala, so you can take the spice mix as souvenirs. Also, for the most authentic Fiji experience, get some Kava or Yaqona roots. Kava is the national drink of Fiji. It has an earthy taste and smell, and it’s a little numbing. • Have A Bean Cart Experience  Do you love Indian snacks? You can look for the glass wooden carts. You will find a snack mix or Bhujia here. This snack has fried noodles, peanuts, and peas. It is the ideal Suva snack. These snacks are the Suva Fiji hidden gems when we talk about an authentic food experience. Stop 2: The "Roti Parcel" Lunch  For a backpacker or a solo traveler, the Roti Parcel can be the ultimate convenient food. It tastes delicious, and it is a filling and affordable snack. Have you ever tried handmade Indian Rotis? These are the bases of Roti Parcel. These buttery Rotis are wrapped around a filling of dry curry. The dry curry is usually made of chicken, potato, and pumpkin. It is so convenient that you can do it even when you are on a walk. The Suva Bus Stand is the best area to try these Roti Parcels. There are many small kiosks and "holes-in-the-walls.” These places serve hundreds of Roti Parcels daily. Want to try the freshest Rotis? You must look for places where the queue of the office goers is the longest. Stop 3: The Curry Trail  Indo-Fijian cuisine has Indian spices. However, the dishes here are different. In the food here, you will use more local root vegetables. Furthermore, the dishes are spicier, and various cooking techniques are used in making them. Try eating at the following places to try vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indo-Fijian food. Indiana Curry House & Bar is the best place here to have lamb chops, tandoori chicken, and chicken butter masala. Govinda Vegetarian is the place to have Samosas, Barfi and Gulab Jamun. Stop 4: Indigenous Flavors You Must Try  To understand Fiji, you must eat Lovo (earth oven) style or stews thickened with coconut milk. It is the best local food to try in Suva Fiji. Kanalevu Kitchen or The Old Mill Cottage are the places to try Lovo in Suva. These places have an authentic vibe, and you will feel like being in your grandma’s kitchen. Another indigenous delicacy is Kokoda. This is Fiji’s take on ceviche. You can marinate the Spanish Mackarel in lime juice and then serve it with onions and chillies, and of course, a bowl of fresh coconut cream. The combination is heavenly, and it has the right balance of flavor punch and texture. Now, it’s getting really grand. Rourou Mutton is the ultimate Fijian comfort food. In this dish, the Taro leaves (Rourou) are simmered. After a while, they have a spinach-like consistency. You can cook tinned fish or mutton in this mix. Also, you must add plenty of coconut milk for the rich, creamy texture. Stop 5: Sunset And Seafood  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tiko's Floating Restaurant 🇫🇯 (@tikos_fj) End your day where the city meets the sea. You can have the most unique experience at Tiko’s Floating Restaurant. It is a converted ship docked at the harbor, and you will have the best mud crabs and grilled lobster here. Another place is the Grand Pacific Hotel (GPH), which also has the nickname of the Grand Old Lady. It is a colonial-era hotel and has hosted Queen Elizabeth II. You will love sitting on the veranda here and enjoying the sunset with a high tea or sunset cocktail. Food Intensity Guide: A Note For Travelers On A Suva Food Tour Fijian hot is not the same as Western hot. So, if you are in Fiji and a local tells you that the curry is medium spicy, you must know that it’s hot.  If you are not a local, your brows are going to sweat. The small Fijian chilies or the Bongo chilies are powerful. So, it is always safe to ask for a mild spice level. Furthermore, indigenous Fijian food relies heavily on root vegetables such as Cassava and Dalo, or Taro. These veggies are starchy, and the gravies made with them are dense. So, be mindful of the quantity of these dishes while eating. Practical Tips To Follow On A Suva Food Tour Hygiene: Stick to busy stalls where the turnover is high.  Water: Stick to bottled water or "Fiji Water" (which is actually cheaper here!).  Cash is King: While hotels take cards, the market vendors and roti shops are strictly cash-only (Fijian Dollars).  What Are The Best Expert Tips For Your Suva Food Tour?  A food tour is not just about what to have. You must understand the flavor, texture, and richness of the dish you are having. Furthermore, you have to be aware of the right time to have them. The local market stalls and street vendors do not accept cards. So, you have to carry $5 and $10 FJD bills. You will notice a heavy crowd at the curry houses between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM. So, if you want a seat, you must visit between 11 AM and 2 PM. You will have the tropical fruits or the roti parcels in your hands. So, you will need to wash your hands before and after eating. So, carry wet wipes and avoid public sinks. Don’t eat the fruits collected from the market without washing them. However, pineapples and bananas are safe. Is the tap water looking yellowish? There is rust in your water. So, it’s best to choose an Island Chill or Fiji water.  Fijian curry has meat with bones. So, be careful while chewing. The vegetarian and non-vegetarian division is followed strictly in Fiji. So, if you want to have pure veg food, you must look for the same sign. Tipping is not mandatory in Suva, Fiji. But you must leave a small change ($2-$5). It is a kind gesture in small eateries.  The Fiji dishes with Lolo or coconut milk are heavy and rich. So, you must not plan any heavy outdoor activity, such as hiking, after having these gravies. Suva Food Tour: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  Here are the frequently asked questions and answers about the Suva food tour. 1. Is Street Food Safe In Suva? Yes, street food is usually safe in Suva. The specialties, such as the BBQ or Roti, are served fresh and hot. Also, the locals have them regularly, and when you see a long queue outside an eatery, you know that the food is safe. Avoid having cold and creamy salads that have been in the glass cabinets before you arrive there. Ask the vendor to make it fresh for you. 2. How Much Does A Meal Cost In Suva? If you want to eat like a local, you can try a roti parcel. The Roti Parcel costs $3-$5 FJD.
