- Breeze Airways is launching new nonstop service from Tampa to Nassau, with fares starting at $99.
A quick Bahamasgetaway just got a lot more tempting—especially if you’re the kind of traveler who loves a nonstop flight and a good deal.
This summer, Breeze Airwaysis rolling out new nonstop service to Nassau, giving budget-minded travelers a fresh, affordable way to reach one of the Caribbean’s most popular beach destinations. And yes, those headline-grabbing fares really do start under $100.
Beginning June 11, Breeze will offer twice-weekly nonstop flights between Tampa International Airportand Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, with service running on Thursdays and Sundays . To mark the launch, the airline is offering limited-time one-way fares starting at $99 , available to book through early February.
It’s a move that fits squarely with Breeze’s growing reputation for connecting travelers to vacation-friendly destinations without the usual hassle—or price tag—of legacy airlines. For Florida-based travelers in particular, it means skipping the layover and heading straight for turquoise water, white-sand beaches and easygoing island vibes.
The timing also makes sense. The Bahamashas been riding a major tourism wave, welcoming a record-breaking number of visitors last year. Nassau, home to well-known resorts , historic neighborhoods and quick ferry access to Paradise Island , continues to be one of the most popular entry points for first-time visitors and repeat travelers alike.

For Breeze, the Nassau route adds to a steadily expanding international footprint, while still sticking to its core pitch: nonstop flights to places people actually want to go, paired with flexible fare options. Travelers can choose from stripped-down basics or upgrade to bundles that include perks like checked bags, extra legroom and onboard Wi-Fi—handy if you’re turning a long weekend into a longer escape.
The new service also taps into a broader trend: travelers prioritizing shorter flights, fewer connections and destinations that feel like an instant reset. With just a few hours in the air, Tampa flyers can trade traffic and meetings for ocean breezes and beach days—often for less than the cost of a tank of gas and a hotel night at home.
Bottom line: if a Bahamas trip has been sitting on your “someday” list, Breeze’s new nonstop flights make this summer a pretty compelling time to finally book it.
