Low-cost airline Breeze Airways is expanding its warm-weather routes next year with seasonal flights from Connecticut to Orlando and new service from the New England state to Orange County, California.
Beginning 29 May 2024, the airline will begin non-stop service from Hartford to Orlando three times a week.The service will be operated by an Airbus A220-300 aircraft on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
On the same day, Breeze will also launch five weekly flights from Hartford to Orange County-Santa Ana in California. This route will be considered a “BreezeThru” service, meaning there will be a stopover, but passengers won’t have to change planes.
“Breeze has served Bradley International Airport since our very first day of operation, and Hartford was one of our first bases”. “These two new routes to Orlando and Orange County will connect our guests to two great, family-friendly destinations – and access to both Disney parks!”
To celebrate the new routes, Breeze is offering fares between Hartford and Orlando starting at just $59 one way for its “Nice” seats. The sale must be booked by 11:59 p.m. ET on December 18 and is valid for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from May 29, 2024 through September 3, 2024.
In addition, Breeze is offering 35 percent off nearly all roundtrip base fares from Hartford by using the promo code “FAROUT” at checkout. This promotion is available until 11:59 p.m. ET on December 14 and is valid for travel from December 18 through September 1, 2024. This sale excludes travel between Hartford and Orlando and excludes blackout dates of 21-23 December and 26-28 January 2024.
Launched in 2021 by former JetBlue founder and current Breeze CEO David Neeleman, the rapidly expanding airline flies to 45 cities in 26 states. The airline operates a low-cost model with three fare options: “Nice,” “Nicer” and “Nicest” (which includes Breeze Ascent, which comes with perks such as checked baggage, complimentary snacks and beverages, and in-seat AC power and USB and USB-C charging ports).
Recently, the airline began seeking approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to eventually fly to international warm-weather destinations and parts of Europe.
