Breeze Airways Expands With New A220 Flights

Breeze Airways, an American low-cost airline, has announced various changes to its network. These changes include a total of 10 new destinations and 35 new routes. The airline, which has begun to receive the Airbus A220-300 aircraft they previously ordered, believes the new aircraft, "will be a gamechanger for transcontinental flights as well as long-haul flights also."

Breeze has added the following new cities to its expanding route map:

• Jacksonville, FL - flights starting May 2022
• San Francisco, CA - flights starting May 2022
• Nashville, TN - flights starting May 2022
• Savannah, GA - flights starting June 2022
• Sarasota, FL - flights starting June 2022

• Syracuse, NY - flights start June 2022
• Fort Myers, FL - flights start June 2022
• Los Angeles, CA - flights start June 2022
• San Bernardino, CA - flights start August 2022

These new destinations will be linked with Breeze's current destination list by mostly utilizing their new Airbus A220-300 aircraft. The aircraft is modern and spacious with an innovative first-class product and economy seats that feature a USB-C port. First-class passengers can expect extra legroom and a lie-flat seat, this will aid in flights where the journey is longer than 1,000 miles up to the A220's full carriage distance of 3,900 miles.
