Breeze Airways, the ultra-low-cost airline, is all-in on the state of Connecticut, as it plans to add service from Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) to 11 cities on the East Coast and South.

There’s a lot to go over, so here’s what you need to know.

Breeze Coming to Second Connecticut City

Breeze Airways will make New Haven its 64th city, with service to Tweed New Haven Airport starting on December 10, 2024. Here’s a list of routes coming to HVN this fall and winter:

  • Fort Myers (RSW): 5x weekly starting December 10
  • Orlando (MCO): 5x weekly starting December 11; daily starting February 5, 2025
  • West Palm Beach (PBI): 5x weekly starting December 11
  • Vero Beach (VRB): 2x weekly starting December 13
  • Charleston (CHS): 4x weekly starting February 6, 2025
  • Jacksonville (JAX): 2x weekly starting February 6, 2025
  • Norfolk (ORF): 2x weekly starting February 6, 2025
  • Richmond (RIC): 2x weekly starting February 6, 2025
  • Raleigh-Durham (RDU): 2x weekly starting February 7, 2025
  • Sarasota/Bradenton (SRQ): 2x weekly starting February 7, 2025
  • New Orleans (MSY): 2x weekly, one stop/no change of plane BreezeThru service starting February 6, 2025

“From ‘Day One,’ our playbook has included significant growth across the Northeast region of the U.S. due to the high population density and limited nonstop travel options,” said Lukas Johnson, Breeze Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer.

Johnson went on to say that Breeze has been a “game-changer” for airports such as Hartford (BDL), Providence (PVD), and New Haven. Plus, Breeze says it intends to offer international flights from BDL in the coming months.

But Breeze isn’t the only low-cost airline throwing its hat in the ring in New Haven. As we reported earlier today, Avelo Airlines announced on August 13, 2024, that it would also add more flights from New Haven. The airline will add nonstop service to New Orleans (MSY) beginning November 14 and will increase service to San Juan (SJU) from 2x weekly to 4x weekly beginning November 8, 2024.

Breeze is offering tickets on the new routes from New Haven starting at $49 each way. You can check out FlyBreeze.com for the full details (including blackout and travel dates) for more information.

Bottom Line:

No matter which flight you choose, make sure you’re aware of Breeze’s seat and baggage policies before booking. Breeze uses à-la-carte pricing to keep prices low and passes on charges for seat selection and baggage, among other things, to the customer. However, you can bundle fares to make sure you get the perks you really want.

Final Thoughts

This is great news for Breeze, as it makes New Haven a major hub for its flights. This news is even sweeter when you consider that Avelo is also expanding in New Haven. If you were thinking of trying out Breeze, now’s a great time — especially with tickets so cheap!
