Breeze Airways Adds More Routes from NYC Area
Breeze Airways is adding eight routes from the New York City area this year, including nonstop service to Los Angeles, CA, San Francisco, CA, Las Vegas, NV, Charleston, SC, Norfolk, VA, Jacksonville, FL, and Savannah, GA – and one-stop, same plane service to New Orleans, LA.
Current commercial air service from Westchester only serves as far west as Chicago. With the new additions, the top two destinations from the New York metro area, Los Angeles and San Francisco, will now feature daily nonstop service. Separately, Breeze is also announcing new service between New Orleans to Savannah, plus Hartford’s Bradley International to Las Vegas, the airline’s 8th new route from Hartford announced this year now for a total of 11 nonstop destinations.
Breeze A220 First Class
Breeze has ordered 80 brand new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, with options for 40 more, that will be delivered one per month for six years. The airline plans to double its fleet this year, from 13 Embraer 190 and 195 aircraft to 30 aircraft, including 13 Airbus A220s and four additional Embraer E-jets.
Breeze’s initial A220 aircraft deliveries will feature 126 seats, including 36 First Class seats in a two-by-two configuration, 10 Extra Legroom seats, and 80 Standard Economy seats in a two-by-three configuration. The A220 seat configuration is dynamic however and later deliveries will offer 137 total seats, 12 First Class seats, 45 Extra Legroom seat and 80 Standard Economy seats onboard. The eco-friendly aircraft has the widest cabin, highest ceiling, largest windows, and biggest overhead stowage in its class, while still managing to burn 25 percent less fuel, with half the noise footprint of past generations, making it the perfect pairing for these high demand routes.
Guests may choose from three price bundles that are offered as ‘Nice,’ ‘Nicer,’ and ‘Nicest.’ Guests may even choose a Nice or Nicer bundle and buy an upgrade to a First Class seat.
All seats on Breeze’s Airbus fleet are fitted with in-seat AC power and USB/C ports. Global communications company Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) will outfit Breeze’s Airbus A220 fleet with its most advanced in-flight connectivity (IFC) solution allowing Guests to seamlessly stream TV or movies, check email, browse the internet, and stay connected via social media or messaging apps while in flight. While Breeze will operate the Airbus A220 starting in May, the first aircraft featuring Viasat connectivity is expected to enter service in October 2022.
