Breeze Airways Debuts First-Ever Transcon Service From Westchester

HARRISON, NY — Westchester air travelers' options for avoiding LaGuardia Airport just got a whole lot more inviting — and affordable.

Breeze Airways, the low-fare airline founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, of JetBlue fame, added two new routes from Westchester County Airport (HPN) on Wednesday: nonstop to both Los Angeles and Sarasota-Bradenton, FL, starting at around $109 and $74 one way, respectively.

Just five months after its first flight from HPN, Breeze now flies to nine destinations from the airport, more than any other airline.

• Sarasota-Bradenton, FL (3x weekly, starting November 2, from $74 one way)

"As a former resident, I know first-hand that HPN is the most convenient New York-area airport for many travelers," Breeze Airways’ Founder David Neeleman said. "However, before Breeze, there was very limited commercial service, especially nonstop flights. Now Westchester and Fairfield County residents can save time and money when flying to the West Coast and beyond."

Breeze offers a la carte and bundles options that run the gamut from all-inclusive first class, or "Nicest" Bundle, to a coach seat with per bag fees. The "Nicest" bundle is only available on flights operated with an Airbus A220-300 aircraft and includes a First Class-style seat in a two-by-two configuration.

Seat pitch for a Standard Economy seat is 30 inches on the A220s and 31 inches on the E-195s, while seat pitch for Extra Legroom is 32 inches on the A220s and between 34 and 39 inches on the E-195s, depending on the row selected. First Class seats feature 39 inches of seat pitch, 20.5 inches of seat width, and special features, such as a footrest, for added comfort and in-seat AC power and USB/C ports.

And perhaps best of all, Breeze famously doesn’t charge change or cancellation fees up to 15 minutes prior to departure.
