Orlando, FL: Breeze Airways, the fast-rising premium leisure airline, announced a game-changing expansion this week, rolling out a wave of new flight routes across the United States—including the addition of two brand-new cities to its growing map. With fares starting as low as $39, the carrier is on a mission to make affordable, high-quality travel accessible to more Americans than ever.
Breeze’s Network Reaches New Heights
Since its launch in 2021, Breeze Airways has become known for connecting cities that have too often been overlooked by larger carriers. With this latest expansion, the airline is set to fly out of nearly 80 cities nationwide, stretching across more than 34 states and linking major leisure and business destinations with convenient, nonstop and “BreezeThru” (one-stop, no plane change) service.
Among the most anticipated news: Breeze will begin flying to Lincoln, Nebraska, and Tri-Cities, Tennessee this December—marking the very first time these communities will be served by the innovative low-cost airline. Locals in both markets will soon enjoy direct, affordable flights to major hubs such as Orlando, FL, and Washington, D.C.
Highlights of the Expansion
Here’s what travelers can expect from Breeze’s latest network overhaul:
-
New Cities Added: Lincoln, Nebraska, and Tri-Cities, Tennessee become the newest dots on Breeze’s map, with inaugural flights launching December 2025.
-
West Coast Growth: Expanding its footprint further, Breeze will debut service to a slate of new destinations on the West Coast in March 2026, including Burbank/Hollywood and Arcata/Eureka in California, Eugene and Redmond in Oregon, and Pasco/Tri-Cities in Washington.
-
Fresh Nonstop and One-Stop Routes: The carrier is opening routes connecting cities such as Orlando, FL, to both Lincoln, NE, and Tri-Cities, TN; Manchester, NH to Myrtle Beach, SC; and new links from Fort Lauderdale, FL, and Salisbury, MD, to destinations like Akron-Canton, Wilmington, and Orlando.
-
East Coast Boost: Breeze is returning and adding popular direct flights, such as a restored route between Tampa, FL, and Charleston, WV, and new service from Norfolk, VA, to Orlando, FL, and Ogdensburg, NY, to Raleigh-Durham, NC.
-
Features and Upgrades: With every expansion, Breeze introduces flexible ticketing options, including its new BreezeBy priority boarding, extra legroom, in-flight Wi-Fi, and “Nicest” packaged fares—serving up a premium experience without premium price tags.
A Win for Underserved Travelers
Breeze founder and aviation veteran David Neeleman underlined the airline’s commitment: “Breeze was started to bring affordable, premium air service to underserved communities, and we look forward to introducing new West Coast travelers to our premium product at a time when many of these airports are more underserved than ever.”
His words echoed the excitement among civic and airport officials. At Tri-Cities Airport in Tennessee, President and CEO Gene Cossey hailed it as a “major milestone” for the region and proof that “every ticket makes a difference.” The message was clear: Breeze is stepping in to fill the void left by legacy carriers, connecting families, businesses, and vacationers alike.
More Destinations, Less Hassle
What sets Breeze apart? The airline specializes in skipping the traditional “hub-and-spoke” model—its direct and one-stop flights are designed to simplify travel and cut out hours of time-consuming layovers. Travelers can now book direct flights from the new cities to top sun-and-fun resorts or urban centers, all at a price point that’s easy on the wallet.
The company’s rapid expansion also includes seasonal route resumption and increased frequency on existing flights, providing flexibility and more options for the busy travel periods ahead.
Looking Ahead
With West Coast service launching next spring and more east-to-west connections on the horizon, Breeze Airways shows no sign of slowing down its trailblazing journey through America’s skies. Whether you’re seeking that next adventure or simply trying to get home faster and cheaper, Breeze is making it easier—and “seriously nice”—to fly.
Travelers can begin booking the new routes, with introductory fares starting as low as $39. The only thing left? Picking your next destination.
