"We're thrilled to add service to San Diego, our fifth destination in California, as we introduce five brand new nonstops and two direct destinations from San Diego International," Breeze Airways' President Tom Doxey said in a statement. "Now San Diegans won't have to connect when traveling to these seven locations, getting there twice as fast for around half the price, and travelers from those cities will have fast and affordable travel opportunities to come enjoy San Diego."
Breeze offers travelers both bundled and a la carte options known as Nice, Nicer and, on flights operated with the Airbus A220-300, Nicest. The Nicest bundle includes two checked bags, priority boarding and Breeze Ascent -- the carrier's inflight experience featuring 2x2 recliner-style seating and complimentary snacks and beverages, including alcohol.
According to a statement, routes from San Diego will be operated with Airbus A220-300 aircraft which are configured with 12 recliner seats, 45 extra legroom seats and 80 standard economy seats.
