Flying Breeze Airways - America’s “Nicest” Airline
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- My last trip of summer 2021 consisted of 4 flights, all aboard "ultra-low cost" & "low-cost" carriers...the first being America's (now) newest airline: Breeze Airways! Previously, I had flown their E195 for the first ever service back in May, but I really wanted to see how their other Embraer aircraft faired out with a more normal experience, and today I did just that. Wow was I impressed. As I say in the video, it's always super cool flying a brand new airline and/or airplane model cause you really don't know what to expect. Breeze definitely has their act together in my opinion and perfectly stand out from the rest of the pack with their friendliness and "point to point" business model. I really wish them all the best and certainly recommend flying them. Hope y'all enjoy!

I just flew Breeze out of Alabama to Las Vegas on the A220 model plane last week. They had literally taken possession of that plane a week and a half before I flew on it. It was very clean and nice features that I’ve not seen provided on other airliners. The service was impeccable & planes were always on time, no delays. In this economy, the fact that I can fly round trip to Vegas and back over the weekend, in their “first class” for under $400 is awesome!
Thank you for this.. I will be flying out to Vegas in 2 months also from Bama..
Breeze looks like a pretty good airline. I love their livery.
Yeah, they are different for sure.
Me too. The livery is so different and cool
you mean Nice
@@nolank.3982 Right.
Im a Flight Attendant For them
I flew Breeze MSY-CHS two weeks ago. I was a non-rev, as I work for another carrier, so i can't guarantee the experience would be EXACTLY the same for a revenue customer... But I found them to be great. From a revenue passenger standpoint, they were selling buy-on-board items and had a menu in the seatback pocket. They had wifi in the sense that you could connect to inflight entertainment (An OK selection at a glance, but I had already downloaded some stuff I wanted to watch), but no internet connectivity yet. From a non-rev standpoint, I liked that, due to the loads, I got a seat assignment when I checked in online (which was 24 hours prior) and they put me in a "Nicer" seat. A carrier with lots of promise that I think, despite being branded a ULCC, leans Southwest more than Spirit or Frontier.
thanks flying CHS-MYS in May for my birthday and I’m excited!
I haven't actually heard of this carrier before, but looks really smart, and perfectly kitted out from the POV of being a 'budget' option - well captured mate!
I flew Breeze just a couple weeks ago to Florida and let me tell, it wasn't bad. I mean it was smooth and honestly, Its my favorite airline now
"And turns out, the scanners at the gate were broken". The same thing happened to some passengers in either Boston or STL airport on a Southwest flight I took in April (of this year) and they had to have paper ones printed. I usually go paper boarding pass after checking in at the kiosk in the airports anyways just in case something like this happens; I don't think I ever have used an online check in/mobile boarding pass yet. I should do that next time.
I haven't flown Breeze recently/yet at all, but I'll let you know! They added a few more flights from my home airport a while back and I've always wanted to try them since last year but never had the time or chance.
Also - aw, looks like I won't get to fly Aha anymore. Oh well. More room for Breeze and Avelo I guess!
I took a flight on breeze in 2024 three months ago. They charged for the snacks, and water, but the coffee was free. I didn't buy the snacks because there a bit price. Also there's no Wifi on the plane, but that will change whenever they upgrade. The flight was very smooth with very little turbulence. I'm taking breeze again in September 2024.
I just flew Breeze round trip last week .. in a Nicer seat CHS-MCO R/T after my first experience on Breeze last year from CHS to BDL. Breeze is polished for a new airline, the crews act like they have been there before, and the flights are mostly on time. I will continue to fly Breeze. I cannot wait to try the A220 first class product next month.. I am a Platinum on Delta, but love being able to get to Orlando nonstop from Charleston without having to make a stop in Atlanta (Lounge access makes it okay, but nothing beats a nonstop!)
Fare CHS --MCO (and back) in a Nicer seat was $91. This included a checked bag. The snack service is roughly the same as you would get on a Delta flight, except you can buy more food if you want it.
Thank you for doing this review. My Fiancée and I are flying CHS-LAS for our honeymoon in December and were growing concerned about their performance based on other people's reviews. You, thankfully, have raised our spirits and we look forward to traveling with them this winter. Thank you for providing us the most in depth and accurate review of these guys. You've earned yourself a new subscriber
Omg I just saw my old office by Gate A4 at CHS on your video! 😂 I used to do Operations, Load Planning, and Payload Optimization! So cool!
This the first time I’ve seen something about breeze. Good job. Not a bad flight
The plane looks great
Breeze is a great airline the cabin is great since all of the seats have chargers. The only complaint is have is the landing. The landing at my vacation spot was really hard and I think the plane bounced. The one at home however was a little better but that is the only complaint I have
Yikes. AHA lasted about 5 minutes
RIP 💀
I think we all knew AHA wasn't going to last.
Never heard of them till few weeks ago
I work for a contractor that serviced AHA, (We work with about 4 other airline’s at my station) we all made bets on how long it would take for them to file for bankruptcy and sure enough I walk in to the operations center one day and all that was left of AHA was a piece of paper saying they went bankrupt. They didn’t even set up a number you could call, you could only dispute it with your bank. All equipment that they gave us was immediately shipped away within 48hrs to sell off I guess. Overall it’s one of the least favorite airlines I’ve been a part of servicing😂
@@jay77productions …sounds professional 😂 damn! So it was as obvious to you guys as it was in jazzguys video about them on day 1?? Lmao
7:55 Breeze does have a buy on board (as of my June 2022 ORF-PIT flight), but the FA was nice enough to give me M&Ms and a water at no charge
Wow, the Macaw Sharp thirst comments landed early today! LOL
- Red
Sure did
Hey! Just wanted to thank you for your videos. I have had a huge fear of flying, but watching your videos made me want to try it because you make it seem so casual and, daresay, exciting and even fun. You also often fly out of my hometown airport, PIT, so your tours of the airport really helped prep me. I ended up booking a flight from PIT to CHS on Breeze, and I ended up watching this particular video like 20 times because I found it so relaxing. The flights were a success!! I am not a huge fan of the feeling of ascent, and we had "moderate turbulence" on the way home, but I survived and it was absolutely fine. I feel like I can actually explore the world now and not have to drive a million hours for a place that would be a short flight instead. So, THANK YOU for being so relaxing to watch, and for having such great videos. ❤
So I worked for breeze as a ramp agent in Tampa , I can tell you the N126 had the bathroom leak for a while and it shouldn’t had caused a delay
I’ve flown on JetBlue’s 190 from FLL-JAX and one thing I did appreciate was the IFEs , it may have been buffering a bit but it did work perfectly for the most part
There E190's Are There Smallest and Oldest Planes They Will Be Exiting JetBlue's Fleet In 2026. There A220's Ife and Everything Else Are Much Nicer and Are Taking Over Their Fleet!
Well Breeze was founded by David Neeleman wich already created other 4 air companies MorrisAir, WestJet, JetBlue, and Azul Linhas Aéreas, according to Skytrax 2021 they occupy the 53º,32º, 47º, respectively (MorrisAir does not exist anymore), so experience and business model are already there, Azul is an excellent hit by him in Brazil always competing within the top spot with Latam currently 45º, Breeze is very similar to Azul, I guess it's a rebranded Azul for nom Latin countries (Azul logo is Brazil map).
Moriss merge with southwest
Breeze was actually founded by the father of JetBlue!
I enjoyed it I am willing to fly them i hope they add DFW-LAX route
I’m flying breeze in 2 days, I know we have red seats, but wish they had screens in the back of the seats.
Breeze will deploy a fleet of 13 E190/E195s by this summer that will link underserved cities in the Southwest, Midwest, Southeast, and Eastern US. The airline selected the Embraer airplanes for their low operating costs and ideal capacity for the markets they will serve. David Neeleman, the carrier’s CEO, says that “Breeze provides nonstop service between underserved routes across the US at affordable fares. A staggering 90% of Breeze routes currently have no airline serving them nonstop.”
In a recent interview, Mr. Neeleman cited the advantages of smaller-capacity aircraft. “80% of the available seat miles in our summer schedule have no nonstop competition. So, what happens, in that case, is that you generate maybe 6, 7, 8, up to 10 times more traffic than you actually take from everyone else.”
Many of Breeze’s target city pairs are those where air service was suspended, cancelled, or infrequent. The 108-seat E190s and 118-seat E195s are the right sized jets to offer point-to-point nonstop flights. Mr. Neeleman sees the new nonstops as time savers. “If you’re in a really small market … where maybe you connect through a hub and it would have taken 3 hours to get there … now we can get there in an hour and 15 minutes.”
The fleet of 13 E-Jets is comprised of 3 E195s leased from Brazil’s Azul Airlines and 10 E190s leased from Nordic Aviation Capital.

Have they gotten their A220s yet?
@@officialoison Ask'em
Flying next week, super excited to see how it goes!!
Absolutely fantastic trip report Chris!😸
Hey Life’s Ups and Downs!
Your videos are some of my favorite on TH-cam right now. Nice work jazzguy!
So, I flew Breeze last month from CHS-TPA on the A220 in nicest class. They made me pay for my soda, but we did get a granola bar and water for free. I was told that nicer and nice classes must pay for everything
"first class" gets a measly bottle of water and a 25 cent granola bar lol
I flew an E190 from JAX to PHN, and the flight got delayed 3 hours and then just canceled entirely. The next flight was at 9:00 AM the next day, but that was delayed an hour. The plane was nice , but the wait was not good
OK south west airlines please get the broken stuff fix
Snacks and drinks on Breeze. Nice seats are buy on board. Nicer seats free snack. Water is free, other drinks are available for purchase. Nicest seats for flights under 4 hours free snack and drinks are available for purchase. Nicest seats over 4 hours everything is free including upgraded snack and alcohol. YMMV as sometimes they hand out snacks in all classes.
Chris, Breeze Airlines is a fantastic flight! Great video presentation!
DearJazzguy thank you for such a good video...In many ways, you've become some sort of "coach" and I am grateful. If you are ever back in Washington DC, I would very much like a chance to shake hands and meet personally... May G_d bless you and your family & friends...You are a great guy...Take care!
PIT is comically huge, also kinda looks like a mall from the mid 90s
It used to be a hub for USAir.
I flew Frontier back in 2012 from Omaha to DC Reagan which had empty seats on that flight and once airborne people moved seats
I’ve flown Breeze and Avelo recently to CT from Raleigh and back. Avelo is the winner for me. The Breeze employees I encountered were rude and the plane we were on was filthy and old. Avelo staff has been amazing, flights are on time/early and planes have been comfortable and clean.
yay ur back
We flew Tampa to Arkansas, it was fine in first class.
I was gonna name my airline when I’m older Breeze airlines but i can’t
My hometown!!! The burgh!!!
Butter landing
Qatar Airways at Pittsburgh?
It's one of their cargo only flights. They started the service to PIT back in 2017.
If you haven't checked out Charleston before you should fly down there again and do it! My best friend lives there and its very historic and has 5 beaches to choose from!
Surprised David Neeleman did not put in TV's in his planes, like he did with JetBlue
Loving your facemask! Looks like some sort of Charles Shultz drawing--where did you obtain it? Hard to believe that there is enough demand from residents of Pittsburgh for Qatar to have service. What company flies that unpainted A-340? Wondering why you left so late in the day? Guessing you have a personal space issue what with you moving up a row or two.
I’ll be flying with Breeze next month, I’ll be sure to let you know about the snacks.
Sweet Jams
utz chips are one of the best made in pa i ived there for 17 yrs
I also would have moved seats, away from a guy. Nice plane, attractive & appropriate color interior scheme
There's another video about this airline that was released a few days before yours, it seems like that flight only had a pitiful buy on board menu with prices somewhere between convenience store and hotel minibar. I always brought my own snacks anyways lol so this is the one newer airline that goes to my airport, so I also hope they succeed. :)
I work for pit at alaska csa I think I saw you that day but wasn’t sure
Anything planned for Avelo again?! Maybe you can checkout their new route this Fall. Newport News, VA (PHF) - Orlando, FL (MCO). So happy to be seeing a new airline like Avelo coming to my hometown airport. American is the only airline currently still operating there after Delta left.
Maybe I’ll see you on the inaugural flight?! Haha.
I’m just glad they are using Newport News. That airport has been struggling lately because we have international airport nearby that people fly out of. Breeze is at that one. Might breath new life into it
The last video you flew Southwest and wore a Breeze Airline mask. This video you flew between Pittsburgh and Charleston and wore a Santa Rosa California airport mask. Chris, you are such a rebel!.....LOL 😃
I cannot wait to fly them out of SYR. They have non-stops to CHS and LAS and I believe both operate with their new A220's.
The new A220 are awesome , I was the ramp agent at TPA while they was doing proving runs and I had the opportunity to get hands on and working on them
I have yet to see the non-stop from CHS to LAS actually fly. I booked it a couple months ago and was soon moved to a Breeze Thru flight through RSW, almost double the flight time. I’m looking forward to the trip this weekend, but don’t like getting the ‘bait and switch’ routine.
Nice airline
smoth landing
I have a flight in mid September that leaves from their newest location from pvu so I will have to leave to update on the condition and how they operate from a new airport
I Am Absolutely Most Definitely Thinking About Traveling With Breeze Airline’s Whenever I Do Go On Vacation Trip’s With My Friend’s In The Future And I Also Absolutely Wish That Breeze Airlines Had Flight’s To And From Houston Texas To Other Parts Of The United States And Canada And Mexico And The Caribbean And Central America As Well Too Now!!! And Also Much Love To All Of Y’all From Houston Texas Too!!!
Can you fly avelo again
Gotta be honest the E195 seats were better
Does anyone think those yellow seats look like of ugly? They remind me of Ryanair or Spirit in a bad way. They should have gone with blue or dark green or something. Yellow just looks cheap.
whats going on with the generic a340-300 ????
I remember being at TPA during Breezes first flight. I wasn't on it unfortunately, but all the staff seems so nice, they all had a smile on their face, (noticeable all through their masks) and no passenger that I saw was sad tired or anything like that. customer service goes a long way.
Im A Flight Attendant With Breeze Airways
WE HAD A CONFIRMED ROUND TRIP TICKET AND BREEZE CANCELLED THE RETURN PORTION OF OUR TICKET AND NOW SAYS THAT DATE IS BOOKED!?!?!?! SO WE CANNOT FLY HOME ON THE DAY WE HAD A CONFIRMED TICKET FOR?? And they won't let us just cancel that portion for a refund .. we have to cancel the WHOLE ticket which we cannot do as we are meeting a contractor at our Hurricane damaged house in Florida!!!!! What is wrong with Breeze?? Pretty horrible service to stay the least!! I WILL NEVER FLY BREEZE AGAIN! You cannot TRUST them.... We need to get a flight home on Nov 12th or a REFUND FOR THE RETURN PORTION OF OUR FLIGHT SO WE CAN TRY TO FIND ANOTHER WAY HOME! We'll need the $$ ass more than likely the return flight home will be more than triple what we paid originally!! That's why they cancelled us! So Breeze could book seats at higher prices!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE
With in the first three minutes of this video the boarding pass scanners were down, and the bathroom is broken. No thanks to this airline for me.
Great video!
Flew Breeze from Hartford, CT to Vero Beach, FL. You need to pay for all snacks and drinks. No more water bottles. You will get a cup of free water when you are asked.
Hey Jazzguy13, Do you think Avelo will survive?
Breeze has nice employees and seems to be the same as other ultra lost cost carriers, but I’ve had some real issues with them delaying flights. That was a couple years ago and don’t know if anything’s changed
My Man likes his snack,lol.
Have you flown in the last year?
He has actually flown a lot in the last year.
Min 12:45 what type of AIr craft was that?
4 engines? Looks like a 707 but I doubt it
Can some one tell me please
Finally a KSTS person, it’s an amazing little airport, perfect for plane spotting!
Flew with them last week gave out small water and snack bar. You have to pay for the rest great airlines flew from Tampa to Huntsville.
Thx for the info! Guess they finally started doing what they said they'd do
who still flies the a340? fly malta i think?
This doesn’t seem like a ULCC
Great Breeze review! I would love to fly on them, if they ever come to Denver.
Too big United southwest will take over (in my opinion only when they are bigger
I’m flying to CHS from BNA researching before I book with breeze
Your older videos - the ones before you moved to SFO - were so much better b/c they focused on travel and not on you.
I will not fly on a airline that doest have broken replacement aircraft… that is a good way to die… or bad way.
I enjoyed this video as always. There is one suggestion I have for your future videos. Before you switched formats, you used to have intro music that I had a blast listening to (a rock-style tune with the violin flipping up and down). Do you think you can bring that intro music back when you switch your format to on-camera vlogs? I strongly prefer your new format overall, but I still miss the intro music you used to use. Perhaps your future intro can consist of that music with a montage of you performing your hobbies.
I hope you uploading your next video!
Are you not vaccinated? Or smthing
Other airlines like delta jet blue United American and American eagle give free snack
You said it was one of the best flights you ever had. The best flight I have ever had was on West Jet's low cost subsidiary Swoop from Abbotsford to Toronto and return and only $69 Cdn each way.
I meet a guy who knows the airlines founder
Hopefully we get a new legacy airline in the future
I feel like Breeze is what Spirit wanted to be
Who the hell is paying for your ticket just to prove your point
Will you be able to visit Thunder Bay Ontario sometime
they do not give free stuff anymore i just flew maybe a week ago
i just flew breeze non-stop from Hartford CT. to Las Vegas on one of the A320 or A300.
The flight to Vegas was a first flight of the day, so the plane was clean.
The plane boarded on time, and take off was a few mintes early.
I had the "nicest" package for both flights. Seat 1A to, seat 2A retrning.
The flight to arrived abot 30 mintes early.
The retrning flight had some sort of ndisclosed isse, which made s take off abot 10 mintes late.
The retrning flight was also the last flight of the day, so the plane was dirty, crumbs in every nook and cranny.
the snacks for "nicest" were free, but they did have cashless payment for the other seats to prchase snacks.
No wi-fi yet, bt they stated they are adding it to every plane by end of 2024. (take notice, Southwest!)
Overall, wold I fly them again?
yes, bt only with the "nicest" package.
To me, the extra cost (and leg room) makes it worth it.
Im doing that same flight in july! Never heard of breeze til just recently and theres no other non stop flights nearby so i think driving hour and half to hartford for non stop ans cheaper flights is worth it!
Colors are sexy for breeze
Laid back. Tall, Lanky. Polish. Super nice. Do you realize you have insane BDE ? gawd......
Sept 2022 Breeze food situation: Nicer passengers get a bottle of water and a snack. Nicer passengers have the same unless the flight duration is longer than 4 hours.. then Nicer passengers can select whatever drink they want (including alcohol) and one snack off the buy menu.
Food is available for purchase.. $4 for snacks, $8 for snack packs.. Sodas are $3.50. A drink and snack together is discounted to $7. There are 4 bundles available that average $1 or $2 in savings over buying them individually.
Drinks are full cans with a cup and ice provided. Snacks are "share" size.
Always👍!
Not sure i would have called Aha! new, but im not really surprised. If only Expressjet would have realized that basing a route network on the E145 would make it extremely difficult to make money.....oh wait
never heard of it, thanks.
AVOID this airline if you need to be somewhere. I scheduled my flight from Orange County CA to Orlando FL more than a month in advance for a cruise ship vacation. Then today, a few weeks before the trip, I get an email saying that "we made a change to your flight" and now it's giving me a bad schedule when the cruise ship is at sea. I had to cancel for a refund. But the worst part of it is that with my super busy work schedule, this is wasting my time to research and re-book with another airline! I knew that "low budget" airlines are nothing but trouble, but I thought I would give Breeze a chance because I could get their "nicest" seat which is a pretend 1st class. I have never before had an airline change the booking on me like this without some unexpected weather or air traffic control event. Breeze is UNRELIABLE I am learning from other reviews. I learned my lesson again to avoid the stupid budget airlines.
