Breeze Airways is the much anticipated airline startup in the United States. The guy behind the airline is David Neeleman, who also founded JetBlue. Breeze has been in the works for a long time now, and the airline is finally becoming a reality, despite the pandemic.

Still wish they had named the airline Moxy. Such a cool name.
Best of luck to Breeze! Hopefully they shake the market up for the better.

How can the planes offer streaming entertainment without WiFi? Will every seat have a personal TV?
Or will the planes offer WiFi but just no internet?
You should absolutely consider visiting Louisville. It's a vibrant city, great food scene, amazing art scene, and good access to Bourbon country. Beautiful landcapes/ countryside too. Really a cool unique city. Dont knock it.
I want this airline to fail because of the appalling labor structure that will make sure flight crews can't afford to live.
Wow, they are starting big. Changing the planes they fly to A220's is not the most economical. If Avelo is successful, Breeze could find that New Haven is a better market than BDL.
Echoing the Louisville comment above - go visit Mammoth Cave National Park - it's beautiful.
Cancellations up until 15 mins before departure?
That's a nice (nicer, nicest..) way to get a gate pass or visit a lounge...
I’m at MSY. Those destinations aren’t stunners but I can always find something to do in a city for a low enough fare, and for a 1-2 night stay I don’t need a bag.
Their predecessor Glo with a similar model failed pretty quickly, but I’m not gonna bet against Neelman.
Bentonville is worth it for the museum. Go for a weekend: one day for the galleries, one day for the grounds. Stay at the 21c. Eat some fried fish and hush puppies at that joint off the square.
I'll join the "don't knock those cities" bandwagon.
Huntsville has more to offer than you think. I had to go there for work a few years back, and I'd return for a long weekend trip if the fares were this low. They have the US Space and Rocket Center, beautiful botanical gardens, and it's home to one of the most successful "new towns" in America (Village of Providence).
I am so glad to see Bentonville (and Tulsa) on here! XNA can support more flight options, for sure. Southwest was planning to come before the market crash and never revived the plan, so we (mostly) are stuck with overpriced flights or driving to Tulsa. I sure hope it works out for them and that maybe they will expand.
What happened to cities like PIT, ECP & BNA being some of the first like was previously reported on multiple sites in addition to CHS?
And HSV-MSY & HSV-CHS?? What kind of LF’s are they expecting?
Bentonville, Arkansas. Mormon college students as flight attendants.
It's Air WalMart.
Can you load your Bluebird card and get a stack of money orders when you check-in for your flight?
+1 for Louisville. I don't think Ben kocked it really, he just said it's not in his travel plans. Cool town though.
You want this airline to fail because of its "appalling labor structure"?? I'm 100% certain that 100% of Breeze employees who have only just signed up will disagree strongly with your opinion because then they'd be.......unemployed. Clearly, logic is not your friend.
@J go out and start an airline or any business for that matter. See if you can make money selling good and services at what you consider "living wages".
I'm shocked ISP didn't make the cut despite their maintenance HQ being in Islip. They don't have flights from the New York metro area.
As being SAT based, I find interesting none of the routes hit the presumed focus cities. I wonder if SAT is a jumping off point for further expansion.

This is only stage 1. Am sure they will have more flights to more destinations in & out of Tampa down the line. They have a lot of aircraft coming into the fleet in the next 6 to 12 months or longer.
Hope they fly to some 2ndary airports in Colorado soon. Denver Int(DEN) is such a zoo & takes so long to get in & out of. Getting a rental car at DEN is a painfully slow process. I think there are actually some other airports in Denver or very close by that can take Breeze sized aircraft. Perhaps you might know ?
Denver area to west coast would also be great.
If/when Breeze can offer direct (or 1-stop) flights between Richmond and San Antonio, they'll be cooking with gas.
No wifi on E190s is a bummer. It might not be that important given E190s are used to operate shorter routes but it definitely makes them more Allegiant than Jetblue
Cool, Breeze.
+1 for Huntsville, important for NASA and DoD.
My wish lists include: Vail or Durango (CO), Missoula (MT), Santa Fe (NM), RDU (NC).
Hey now Lucky, San Antonio one of the country largest cities. We're only getting connections to OKC/Tulsa/Bentonville though.
I'm surprised SAT and MSY aren't linked though. Right now there's no direct flights to New Orleans on any carrier, you've got to stop at HOU/IAH/DAL/DFW.

Think the E90s are temporary until the 60 x A220s arrive & am sure they'll have everything.

Vail would be great, but also plenty of other airports in Colorado, even in Denver than have very little congestion.
sat rd warrier
these are only round 1. Am sure with 60+ aircraft there will be a lot more routes to be announced at a later date. You have to walk before you run, before you sprint.
@Ken: Dan Price didn't start his company with employees minimum wage at $70k, he moved them there once he was established and he was making millions. That said: I am a fan of his regarding what he has done and some of his thinking regarding wages and employees. I didn't "read" every line of this story but didn't see the employees salary mentioned here so not sure why @J jumped to the employees would be paid less than living wages.
