- Charleston (CHS)
- Jacksonville (JAX)
- Las Vegas (LAS)
- Los Angeles (LAX)
- New Orleans (MSY)
- Norfolk (ORF)

“This is exciting news for residents of the County of Westchester who’ve been wanting convenient flights to the West Coast,” said Hugh Greechan, Public Works/Transportation Commissioner of Westchester County.

This announcement is great news for those living in Westchester County and across the New York metropolitan area, whose only options for nonstop transcontinental flights — until Breeze’s new routes begin — are LaGuardia (LGA) or Kennedy (JFK) airports in New York or Newark (EWR) airport in New Jersey.
