The airline announced new routes to and from New Haven, Connecticut on Tuesday. They'll be available starting May 2, with searches of ticket availability indicating most round-trip bookings will come to less than $150.

This exclusive nonstop service will also make enjoying Atlanta’s abundance of vibrant urban and outdoor experiences a fast and seamless journey for Connecticut visitors.”
