Let’s Talk About Breeze Airways!

As part of my mission to explore new, affordable travel options, I recently took Breeze Airways, a low-cost airline launched in May 2021, from Pittsburgh to Ft. Myers. Although Breeze isn’t as widely known as Spirit, their fares start at an impressive $39 for one-way flights—perfect for those who love to save on travel!

Flying out on Halloween, I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable seats, convenient device charging stations, and genuinely friendly staff. Breeze also offers two-seater and three-seater options, plus a streaming platform loaded with free movies and TV shows accessible from your device—a fantastic touch for a budget airline!

As expected in this budget-friendly class, snacks and sodas come at an additional cost, but coffee and water were complimentary. And they served real, fresh-brewed coffee—no powdered cream here, just real cream packets and sugar options, brewed on the cart right in front of you,  which I appreciate.

The return trip wasn’t quite as smooth. We faced some delays, and a small mix-up with our party member’s birthdate required a trip back through security to the Breeze desk. Delays are part of travel, and some delays, like waiting for a parking slot on two out of three landings, are beyond any airline’s control.

So, would I fly with Breeze again? Yes! For me, flights are just the beginning of the adventure, and spending less on airfare means more room in my budget for the actual vacation. Although Breeze’s budget model is different from JetBlue (even though they share a co-founder), it’s perfect for travelers looking for quality without breaking the bank.
