This Low-Cost Carrier Is Launching Its First Caribbean Routes—With Some as Low as $99

Breeze Airways, a fast-growing low-cost airline in the U.S., will introduce seasonal service to Cancun, Montego Bay, and Punta Cana this winter, targeting weekend resort flights.
Founded in 2021 by David Neeleman, who also co-founded JetBlue, Breeze Airways is known for serving smaller airports with affordable, direct flights and offering different ticket options for varying levels of service.
Sample introductory one-way basic economy fares for the new international routes start as low as $99, with flights from cities like New Orleans, Norfolk, Providence, Charleston, Raleigh, Tampa, and more.

One of the U.S.'s fastest-growing low-cost airlines is about to make your next Caribbeanvacation a whole lot more affordable.

Breeze Airwayswill begin seasonal service this winter to Cancún, Mexico; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, flying out of airports it already serves.

"We picked places that have all-inclusive resorts because people like to go on Saturday and fly back (the following) Saturday," said Breeze Airways founder and CEO David Neeleman. With peak demand on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays and Mondays on its current routes, he said he sees spare Saturday capacity as the perfect opening for weekend resort flights.

"We're excited to be able to fly people out of the country," he said, all with the "...same great service and the same great airplanes."

Breeze Airways began operations in 2021, and was created by Neeleman, who cofounded JetBlue. The affordable carrier serves underserved, smaller airports in the U.S. and provides low-cost, direct flights. It's become known for its "Nice, Nicer and Nicest" ticket options, which offer different levels of service, leg room and amenities like WiFi.
