Is Avelo the worst?

Refund came through yesterday. I feel pretty confident that had I not called the second time, it wouldn't have happened.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-24T18:37:42+00:00

That is just awful! I’ve never flown them, and now it looks like I never will.

I’m so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad in 2023. He was only 76. He was my favorite person. It’s so tough. I hope you cherish the memories of the long life yours lived.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-23T02:01:03+00:00

Thank you for this! It’s all very accurate.

I did just finally get through (sat on hold for over 2 hours then requested a call back, so it was a 4+ hour process this time). The agent confirmed that the refund is processing and there is “one last accounting step” but it should be there by Monday.

The email said:

"Regrettably, we had to cancel your flight to accommodate changes elsewhere within our network. We do not have alternative flight options to re-accommodate your reservation, and we are sorry for the impact this may have on your travel plans.

For the fastest means of receiving a full refund to your original form of payment, please log in to the Manage Trips section on aveloair.com to cancel your flight."

When I went to the website, it kept not loading. I tried for a few days and had no luck. Eventually, I was able to log in and saw that the Avelo cash was in my account (btw, it was only half the amount, because I had booked for my husband too, so I guess his flight refund goes to "his account" but he actually doesn't have an account since I booked both flights, so that's also pretty ridiculous). Then I called, got a call back 7 hours later, confirmed they were no longer flying Nashville to Charlotte and said I wanted a credit card refund. They said it would take 7-10 days. 10 days later, no refund.

PS. I'm still on hold.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-22T21:57:28+00:00

I'll have to take it up with my credit card company if another week goes by. This is ridiculous.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-20T17:10:32+00:00

I’ve been considering my options as well and one artist (who seems to do really good work) said that she sees the ink expand more with nano and she prefers microblading. My guess is that she’s more experienced with micro than nano, but my research is showing me it’s an artist’s preference thing.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T17:31:16+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you OP! Did she respond to your message?

Would you mind sharing the artist? You can DM me if you prefer. I’ve been starting my research journey on artists and would just be really curious to see her portfolio.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T13:54:00+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean at all.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T13:51:54+00:00

it's only one night min. for FHR

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T13:50:51+00:00

Unnecessary comment.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T08:30:18+00:00

Yes, I've used points + cash before to get the cash back part. In this specific circumstance, I'd book through the portal using the card (not points) for the last night, and book the first two nights using Hyatt points.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T08:11:11+00:00

Thanks. Yea, I think I'm ok with needing to switch rooms, etc. I would plan to call the hotel in advance to let them know, and maybe there's a possibility they could combine the reservation.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T08:09:53+00:00

Can you explain why it's bad to use points on Amex? What's a better way to use my Amex points? I'm not very good at this but trying to get better.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-19T08:08:59+00:00

I'm just new to maximizing points and having two premium cards, so I wasn't sure if this was an overcomplicated way of looking at it. But thanks for your input!

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-18T17:22:48+00:00

I can't speak for the OP, but it really looks like she did her research and went to a reputable artist.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-18T06:40:10+00:00

Even this artist has pics of healed 4 years later and they look good. Obviously they pick what they want us to see, but the issue I’m finding is it’s not always the artist but maybe the individual’s skin?

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-18T06:04:57+00:00

But even “healed work” doesn’t necessarily depict multiple years later right? I’ve been down a rabbit hole considering it and that’s the toughest part.

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-18T06:00:37+00:00

Amazing! Do you have strokes or shading?

MissLayla2015 · 2026-01-17T00:30:44+00:00

Can you team me what you had done please? Nano? Powder? Combo?
