David Neeleman’s Breeze Airways will be growing rapidly in the coming years. The JetBlue founder started with E-190 jets and will have a fleet of 15 A220s by the end of this year. That will grow to 80 A220s over 6 years. His goal is to connect cities and routes that other airlines have overlooked while offering industry leading customer service and friendliness in the skies.
You can download the Breeze app for iOS or Android, signup for an account, and instantly get 500 BreezePoints, worth $5 for airfare.
Breeze flights can be cancelled up to 15 minutes before departure at no charge, with the funds valid for 2 years.
The A220s will include 36 premium cabin seats, called “Nicest” seating, in a two-by-two configuration at the front of the plane. It will also have 10 “Nicer” extra legroom seats and 80 “nice” seats in a two-by-three seat configuration. First class seats will feature a whopping 39″ of seat pitch and 20.5″ wide seats and a footrest.
Breeze first class “Nicest” seat:
The A220s have in-seat AC and USB power, but unfortunately won’t have WiFi this summer. Speedy Viasat Ka-band WiFi will be installed on the A220s starting in October.

Here is the newly expanded Breeze route map, this will be rapidly expanding over the next 6 years, as the airline will get a new A220 delivered every month!
The $99 first class intro fares are a no-brainer!
Nicest books into first class, Nicer books into extra legroom, and Nice books into standard seating:
Will you book any summer travel on Breeze?
I actually emailed the CEO to please consider a route between BDL-CLE/CAK. I wonder
@Dan what are the chances they’ll keep the route as a regular and not just a seasonal summer?
Nice!
If people fly it, I imagine it will be extended.
That would be huge. We can use a permanent BDL-CLE area route!
Let’s see what Avelo does with that route. I have a feeling that they’ll try it too. Let the price wars begin!
Sheesh for once I wish I lived in a tertiary area
Lol. Similar sentiment here. Lakewood is somewhat near Trenton and Atlantic City airports, but so far they’re not flying from any of those yet.
Wonder when they will move into the EWR/PHL area? TTN/ACY would be a nice option.
Those Transcon routes seem a bit ambitious but I wish them every bit of luck
weren’t they gonna serve ISP? or am I remembering wrong
They are serving ISP, that was announced previously. These are new route announcements.
You can save even more with Breeze!
Look at these instructions via DDF!

Need someone to test that out first…
To bad I don’t live anywhere near where they fly
Dan, we get that you’re excited about this and hopefully this will be big.
But: A. His routes are terrible for most people here. B. Main point: I thought as a policy you don’t post spirit flights etc, because if a flight is cancelled you have nothing to do as they don’t work with other airlines. This is exactly the same.
And btw many people will tell you they only had good experience with spirit too, so the fact that some people will like this airline is irrelevant
A. They are growing. Southwest, Spirit, and Frontier also didn’t serve NYC and MIA at first if that’s what you’re looking for.
B. No, that’s one of many, many reasons I don’t cover Spirit/Frontier. If that were the only reason, I also wouldn’t cover JetBlue, Southwest, or American.
Spirit/Frontier have super unfriendly policies, from bag fees to change fees to legroom. Meanwhile Breeze has a coach and first class that looks better than any of the major carriers, at a fraction of their cost. They will be a game changer for the entire industry when they scale.
still no Chicago 🙁
Great news for us here in JAX!
Now I just need to figure out what to do in these random places. Vegas seems to be the only tourist destination, and $99 isn’t super cheap (considering $54 on B6 from JAX to LAX a few weeks ago).
Try this and let us know how it goes please!

Would love to, but they probably won’t have a ticketing desk till they actually start flying in May
Nothing out of JFK/LGA/EWR. Nothing out of MIA. A total waste of time for a majority of the flying population. Just another Tower Air/People’s Express/Frontier/Spirit in the making. We’ve basically got Delta and American as our only normal, non abusive, options.
