Low-cost Breeze Airways has announced its latest crew base in Fort Myers, marking its third hub out of Florida.
The airline, which was created by JetBlue founder David Neeleman, connects smaller airports to popular destinations across the country. By establishing a base at Fort Myers in addition to Orlando and Tampa, Breeze can expand with even more flights servicing the rest of the Sunshine State.
Travelers will soon be able to reach Fort Myers, thanks to a handful of seasonal routes beginning just in time for snowbird season. This October, Breeze will launch twice-weekly service from Manchester, N.H.; Newburgh, N.Y.; Lansing, Mich.; Scranton, Pa.; and Bangor, Maine. The airline offers more than a dozen year-round flights to Southwest Florida International Airport:
Akron/Canton, Ohio
Charleston, South Carolina
Columbus, Ohio
Hartford, Connecticut
Las Vegas, Nevada
Louisville, Kentucky
New Orleans, Louisiana
Norfolk, Virginia
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Portland, Maine
Providence, Rhode Island
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
Richmond, Virginia
Syracuse, New York
Travelers can book Breeze flights directly on its website, mobile app, or Priceline.com, the airline’s first-ever online travel booking partner. All three fare bundles, “Nice,” “Nicer,” and “Nicest,” can be booked depending on whether passengers need to bring a carry-on or checked bag and pick seats with extra legroom.
