Breeze Airways Adds Orange County as 34th Destination
Breeze Airways has announced the addition of John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County to its expanding national footprint. The new city becomes Breeze’s 34th and also signifies the airline’s 100th nonstop route, connecting California’s Orange County with Florida’s own Orange County in Orlando (MCO).
Breeze is also adding nonstop service between SNA and Provo/Salt Lake City, UT (PVU), and one stop/no plane change ‘BreezeThru’ service between Provo and Orlando. Flights will start on February 16, 2023.
Fares on the nonstop routes start from $119 one-way between Orange County and Orlando, and from $49 between Orange County and Provo, if purchased by November 15, for travel by May 16, 2023. Promotional fare is only available when booking a new reservation for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Breeze took flight in May 2021 and has quickly expanded across the U.S. connecting underserved city pairs. The airline’s business model centers around offering affordable fares, no change and cancellation fees up to 15 minutes prior to departure, free family seating and enhanced seating options including Extra Legroom and First Class seats.
Seat pitch for a Standard Economy seat is 30 inches on the A220s and 31 inches on the E-195s, while seat pitch for Extra Legroom is 32 inches on the A220s and between 34 and 39 inches on the E-195s, depending on the row selected. First Class seats feature 39 inches of seat pitch, 20.5 inches of seat width, and special features, such as a footrest, for added comfort, and in-seat AC power and USB/C ports.

Totally pumped about this one. Delta used to be my preferred choice MCO-LAX but dropped that non-stop to seasonal. Granted, SNA is not in Inglewood but business class for a coach fare? Sign me up! I will make it work even if I have to thumb it into LA!
