Amidst a sea of budget airlines, Breeze Airways has become one of the more-recognizable names in the air travel sector. Breeze, launched by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, plans to fly low-cost, high-comfort routes to underserved markets. For the budget traveler in 2025, how does Breeze compare to other low-cost carriers? Let’s explore.
Unique Route Strategy
Breeze targets secondary airports and underserved city pairs, unlike the typical budget airline that hones in on primary hubs. All of this helps ease congestion, and allows passenger’s direct flights that wouldn’t be an option anywhere else. Breeze, for one, offers nonstop flights between Mobile International Airport and Orlando International Airport.

The bulk of Breeze’s current fleet, which it plans to grow with Airbus A220s, are Embraer 190s and 195s. These types of planes are noted for economy of fuel and passenger comfort. The carrier provides the same seating levels: “Nice,” “Nicer” and “Nicest.” The “Nicest” option offers first-class seating, who said the low-cost carriers could not offer extra comforts and amenities?

Pricing and Flexibility
Breeze has an à la carte pricing approach which means passengers can choose the services they need and pay nett of what they do not. Although base fares compete with one another, services like carry-on bags, checked bags and seat selection are additional. This is particularly relevant with Breeze, which has a number of flexible options with no change or cancel fees up to 15 minutes before departure, an advantage to those who may have a schedule that is hard to pin down.

Comparison Against Other Budget Airlines
Unlike other budget airlines such as Spirit and Frontier, Breeze offers unique routes and focuses on keeping its passengers comfortable. Instead of competing on high-traffic routes and at the biggest airports, as many budget carriers do, Breeze’s strategy of linking underserved cities means more direct and convenient trips for passengers. Moreover, first-class seating available on the flights offers an upgraded experience that the budget field lacks.
