There is a $20 fee if you call in to book through the "Customer Support Center." No fee is listed for purchasing at the airport.I think there's a different fee if you book other than online.
But I haven't done it myself.
How strict are they with checking the bags? We're scheduled to fly with them next Thursday for the first time. Are we okay as long as the backpack is underpacked and can squish into a sizer? When I looked at the published sizes, the length is shorter than even my 'junior" LL Bean backpack that's appropriate for preschoolers.DH flew them last month. They're pretty much like every other ultra low cost carrier. The only major difference is their allowable size for the free personal item is tiny.
What did you learn about the personal sized bag? I am flying Avelo for the first time in October. I've been concerned about this.How strict are they with checking the bags?

Just got back today. At no point were they checking bag sizes, and basically everyone had as big a pack as they wanted. My kid and I, on the other hand, had our stuff needlessly jammed into those junior backpacks. We’re the rule-following suckers.What did you learn about the personal sized bag?

I found the info, I'm just having a hard time finding a bag that will work with their dimensions. And honestly, don't really want to buy one as I have several bags already that are just over the size limit.I would check the Avelo website for specifics about personal sized items, carry-ons, baggage & the associated fees. Many of these low-cost airlines are VERY particular on what type of baggage can be carried on the airplane partly as a way to charge you more then just the ticket price. Some airlines hardly ever look at the size of what you carry-on, but others are VERY strict.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I've heard conflicting things through searching but it's nice to hear a recent report.Just got back today. At no point were they checking bag sizes, and basically everyone had as big a pack as they wanted. My kid and I, on the other hand, had our stuff needlessly jammed into those junior backpacks. We’re the rule-following suckers.
And while there was a sizer to check for overhead bin carryon luggage (for larger paid bags and suitcases), Avelo didn’t even have a personal item box sizer like Frontier and Spirit do. My take away is that as long as your bag fits under the seat, you’re fine.
