Breeze was offering an introductory fare of $49 one-way between Provo and Orange County for advance-purchase tickets bought before Nov. 15.
“Today marks both our 100th nonstop and our 34th destination with the addition of Orange County,” said Tom Doxey, Breeze Airways’ president. “I can’t think of a better way to commemorate this milestone than for the ‘nicest airline’ to connect two of the ‘happiest places on Earth’ while also giving our Provo guests an epic daytrip option from their house to the ‘house of the mouse’ in Orange County.”
Breeze began service May 2021 and has expanded across the U.S. with a stated mission of connecting underserved city pairs. The airline’s business model centers on offering affordable fares with plenty of perks, including no change and cancellation fees up to 15 minutes prior to departure, free family seating and enhanced seating options.{/mprestriction}
