Breeze’s Maine Attraction
Breeze welcomes Portland, Maine on May 17! The state of Maine is known for its stunning nature, beautiful coastlines, and its many lighthouses guiding boats home. It would be hard to come by a tourist’s keepsake photo without a lighthouse in the background.
Maine has grown in popularity over the years but has always been a hidden hotspot for New Englanders to enjoy. The biggest city in the state is Portland, which has a lot to offer visitors. Those who venture downtown will find charming cobblestone streets full of shops, friendly locals, and tasty seafood straight from the source!
It’s easy to see why Breeze is excited to make this awesome city more accessible for their passengers with 4 new routes to:
- Charleston, SC
- Norfolk, VA
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Tampa, FL (from $59 base fare)
“Portland is our first Maine destination and a great addition to the route network. We’re always looking for new routes that people are traveling today but can’t get there nonstop. So, at Breeze, we’ll get you there twice as fast for about half the price!” – David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
What To Expect
Since this is such a new airline, travelers should know what to expect should they choose to fly with Breeze. All routes within the Breeze network are nonstop and priced with the consumer’s wallet in mind.
Breeze categorizes their fare options in 3 classes:
- Nice ($39 base fares)
- Nicer
- Nicest (Only available on Airbus A220 flights)
Simple enough, right?
It gets better!
Many flyers find themselves extremely frustrated when something goes away in their travels. With Breeze, they take pride in keeping it simple. That’s why passengers may be surprised to know that they do not charge for flight changes or cancellations up to 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Instead, Breeze will provide flight credits lasting up to two years.
Breeze is also a great choice for families as they provide family seating together free of charge.
Maybe that’s why Breeze has already been voted the #2 domestic airline by Travel + Leisure in their first year in service!
All of these features and more can be found on Breeze’s app or official website, where flights are on sale right now! If users download the app directly from the website, Breeze will give away 500 BreezePoints to use toward flights! If travelers purchase bags directly through the app or website, they will save too.
Breeze allows a personal item that will fit under the seat in front of them, but larger bags will be categorized as a carry-on for tickets in the Nice class. Carry-ons are complimentary for Nicer and Nicest class fares as long as they are under 35 lbs.
