I flew from Orlando to Provo, Utah via Santa Ana in California on a "Breeze Thru" connecting flight, which aims to maximise aircraft use and provide guaranteed connections. So, what's it actually like? It was half the price of Delta first class for almost the same route (Delta fly to SLC, 50 miles to the north). So, what's it like? The result surprised me!

[@jonathancapece]

Wi-Fi is coming to all A220s very soon! It is available on select aircraft now. Thanks for flying Breeze!!

[@BlueBird1994_]

Is there any way of knowing which individual aircraft *do* and *don't* have wifi currently? So you could potentially know in advance?

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Did a round trip on Breeze first class and it was a nice trip. No wifi and no meal service but knew about it beforehand and brought food and don’t care nor want to pay for wifi. United and Delta first class had nice meals but not worth the price difference. Flight attendant in trip out was incredible and super attentive to passengers. Flight back back all the flight attendants kept gathering in front to talk to each other and hid around corner so you had to get up to get their attention. Friendly staff and will fly again

[@afb2]

I flew this transcon to LAX, and I was honestly impressed. Would prefer to layover, but nice to have this as an option. My only real complaint, strange one I know, is that they did not come around to take the trash enough. That A220 on the other hand is truly something special. Could not believe how big the windows were, and how QUIET it was.

[@ryanfischer6550]

Breeze is breaking the monopoly held by SWA by me at ISP in NY. Their liveries are very nice. Looking forward to getting a flight with them.

[@ktesha65]

Just flew Breeze earlier this month from Hartford,CT to Charleston,SC roundtrip..It wasn't bad..no complaints..under $200..you get what you pay for

[@stevevarholy2011]

I guess they've resolved their operations issues. I almost got stranded in Hartford because they delayed, delayed, delayed, and then cancelled their Hartford to Charleston flight. Luckily, the travel boards had alerted that Breeze would do that to some flights.

[@tammypearson4500]

What a beautiful day to fly! Breeze flies out of New Orleans, so I definitely will consider. The food in airports is ridiculously pricey. Last week at LHR, I couldn't have a drink and small meal for $20.00. Geez. Great video!

[@LoveStallion]

I went to school in Provo, and I would have LOVED for Provo to be taking commercial flights when I was there. Heading up to SLC wasn't the end of the world, but I love that Breeze is serving interesting smaller markets.

[@naturallyherb]

Very nice! My longest A220 flight was Montreal to Vancouver on Air Canada, thanks to a strong headwind it was 6 hours. Still very comfortable in economy.

[@rezaalan3991]

Great flight. For 7 hours flight with only Snack box onboard, I think bringing your own food outside airport is a must.

[@raylee17]

Conceptually, Breeze Ascent is very similar to Porter Reserve on Porter Airlines. The difference is that since Porter uses E2-195, Porter Reserve seats would have the same 2+2 configuration as the normal "economy" seats, thus they are not wider, like what you have in Breeze Ascent. However, Porter Reserve includes a proper cold meal.

[@AirShark95]

And all Porter jets come with Wi-Fi, free for the entire flight if you sign in with your VIPorter account

[@mach1_v1]

I believe the Breeze A220s do have the ovens installed. Hopefully they start hot meal service! Great content.

[@johndornoff]

I Flew Breeze last year from Tampa to Charleston, SC, and back. Breeze gate agents were extremely rude in Tampa but extremely friendly in Charleston, along with a very friendly flight crew. I Flew economy up which was just Nicest. For that short of a flight, the onboard service was fine. However, several of the Ascent seats including mine had broken parts and my back started getting hurt on the way up in economy I just flew 8 hours in Delta economy and my back did not hurt. Got some good Instagram moments on the flight back as a lady boarded the plane with a large Chucky doll (it was just a couple of days before Halloween).

[@gaijinhito]

Loved the Coffeezilla cameo. :D

[@Ningy909]

your videos are always so relaxing to watch in the evening. i recently flew spirit for the first time on a route i had done twice before with other airlines (delta, united) and, being totally honest, for the low price i really enjoyed it. it's gotten me curious to try other carriers when i get the chance.

[@finalascent]

I flew Spirit from OAK to LA to ATL on Spirit - both flight segments were excellent - really nice crew onboard.

[@jonathanm2690]

Always good to see your videos pop up on my TL, have my tea ready and looking forward to settling in watching your trip :)

[@Levi_SchonesRC]

Thanks for showing my home airport some love! SNA is awesome

[@juleslowery2030]

Hey Paul, I enjoyed the twist with this one!. The hot mess class system had me believing it was heading towards a one to avoid and then they over delivered!!! 🏆😀

[@briangasser973]

I like the layout of MCO. Connecting to terminals is easy and rental cars are available at the airport without needing to take a shuttle.

[@isaacflyaway]

Love the livery Breeze has! They should at least include a complimentary meal for a first class product

[@MrGreatplum]

The rainbow at 15:15 is pretty special! Seems like a great idea - weird there’s no proper meal service but apart from that - fab product!

[@finRiley]

Brilliant video. I would love to see a video for Barbados-LHR with BA. Very unique in that they use a completely separate terminal for their first class customers, with a private vehicle taking them to the aircraft.

[@finalascent]

5:35 - Hoping that they ditch ALL of their Embraers for the A220 - a much better plane!

[@katherinespencer2633]

I so enjoy your videos,Paul. I think I’ll give Breeze airline a try, thanks for the tip.

[@Paul_Lucas]

Thank you Katherine!

[@jamesedwards3076]

Travelled on a brand new Air Baltic A220 - Lovely aircraft,

[@jimwest7107]

Love your videos still Paul. Always an adventure.

[@JoshDoesTravel]

Great look at Breeze! You’d definitely get a much different ground experience flying them now out of MCO, since they operate out of the new C terminal. Might be worth a revisit!

[@WINGSANDRAILS]

Always love flying the A220 most of the times with Swiss or AirBaltic! Always enjoy it. Great video. To bad no real food options.

[@PuentesRE]

What a lovely plane. I actually had a Southwest flight that started in Santa Ana, paused in Phoenix then off to my destination. Never left the plane. I rather liked that, saved so much walking. Plus the take offs at SNA are fun... lol.. rapid take off then the glide to reduce noise. Hopefully Breeze does well, it looks like a really good and affordable product.

[@derrickgullage4403]

I find airport are expensive in general are a little more expensive when it comes to a pre-flight meal. I sometimes pack something in my carry-on to snack on as I usually pass through a couple of airports when travelling.

[@santoshgujar3796]

Thanks

[@Obiwan234]

Great video Paul, thanks for your great efforts! 👍

[@lookinup22]

Glad you loved Breeze. They are now my favorite airline and the A220 has become my favorite narrowbody as well. ❤️

[@maxsaviation9512]

2:48 10:17 the catch is that the meal is cold and doesn’t taste good at all 😂

[@alexalexsson210]

A220 is my Favorit Aircraft. Fly them regularly with AirFrance .

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Great video Paul! I especially love seeing Breeze’s CLASSY AND SHOCKINGLY UNIQUE Livery especially on their A220 fleet! 😊 Also, I see you visited from Orlando Airport, as a longtime OG subscriber of yours, I know you have visited MCO quite a few times now with Frontier Airlines, Delta and JetBlue I believe also, even though the terminal building is outdated and really needs renovation, I still like that classic from the 1980s an early 90s. 😂 Finally the seat on Breeze’s A220-300 looks absolutely amazing, especially for a domestic US airline except for no hot food 🥘 that seems a bit of a loss to me. However, as much as I would like to try Breeze a lot of the roots they fly are mostly for leisure and they are still a pretty niche carrier Sadly, I don’t think I would go out of my way to fly. 😢🎉 Great video anyway! Maybe if Breeze adds a service from somewhere in Michigan where I live, such as Lansing maybe then I’ll give them a try! Also at 3:11 I get flashbacks to your previous trip with Delta on their A350 from Atlanta to LAX in Delta One Suite but only “First Class” on a domestic DL Flight in the whole buying food to eat on the plane while in First Class of all things! Remember that what a horrible experience and I’m afraid you’ve managed to repeat again! 😂😂😮 Cheers 🥂 mate! Caleb’s Aviation 😊

[@karenbaisch2868]

Thank you Paul, I live in the Provo area and love the airport. Sadly being a Delta diamond I usually make the trek up to SLC but I have been able to use Breeze twice and found them excellent value.

[@Paul_Lucas]

Great to hear. If they are still able to get Delta frequent fliers to use Provo occasionally when SLC is up the road there is a future for them. New SLC airport is also really wonderful though!

[@lawrenceakini4981]

[@J.D.7]

Airbus should model all their future planes designs like the A220. Best looking modern plane currently in use imo. The nose is perfect.

[@thecaynuck]

Bombardier and the subsidiaries before it sure made planes with nice noses. CRJ, Q-series Dash 8's, and the C-series which is now the A220

[@gerardacronin334]

Nice seat, nice plane, but no lounge, no meal, no Wifi. I don’t know how you can call this first class!

They don't. They call it Breeze Ascent.

Iam So Agreed Whit A220 Is ABeautiful Aircraft.Great Trip Report

[@2chuck]

Great video! I've wondered what their cabin and service is like, from the looks of it both are excellent. The A220 is such a great choice for Breeze and their Interior is really nice. So Breeze flies nonstop from Orange County to Orange County. (MCO is in Orange County, Fla). BTW, and inexpensive option for food at an expensive airport is to look for a restaurant or shop that sells bananas, they are about the only food they have less than $10.99. I ususally bring Protien Bars in my carry on as well.

[@KingOrpheus]

Flew Breeze Ascent from LAS to ORF. The wifi was great. Could stream or even play games over it. The 220's are awesome and a breath of fresh air.

[@walterfillingham]

I’m going to go as far to say I think it looks like one of the nicest aircraft’s I have seen. Cracking flight and the service looks amazing too. Imagine something like that flying from Inverness where I live to London..

Not exactly only 2 hours longer if you are going to salt Lake City. You now have to find a way to get there which takes time. But in saying that the plane did look spectacular

[@jamesbartlett5640]

ITA just received a A220-100 in it’s brilliant all blue livery, you have to do the LCY flight to Milan.

[@ymcairedellbball]

It's not just airline food prices that went up after Covid. They've always been high. Everything outside of the airport has gone up by 50% or more in some cases because of overall inflation. Gas prices where I live were $1.85/gallon in 2019 and are now over $3.20/gallon. Some other parts of the country have gas prices nearing $6.00/gallon.

[@jonathanm2690]

I did like the fact you can stay on the plane for the stop-over and not have to get off

[@benjamintocchi7909]

I'm glad you had a good experience on Breeze. I flew them last year and it was a disaster. Breeze lost my suitcase (their agent put the wrong tag on my suitcase) and since they do not have customer service, it took over a week to get my suitcase back. Be warned, Breeze has no 1-800 number nor a customer service desk, the only way to reach them is through Facebook Messenger (I kid you not). After them loosing my suitcase, having me go to the airport four different times to find out the suitcase was not the flight it was supposed to be on, I go on either Delta or Avelo. I'd rather pay more to have help when I need it.

[@stevevarholy2011]

I had Breeze delay my Sunday evening return flight from Hartford to Charleston. First, it was one hour. Then it was delayed two hours. Then, delayed 5 hours to 11:00 that night, then delayed to 1am, then cancelled. Luckily they gave me a 18 hour heads up on the first hour delay so I could rush and book a one-way on Delta.

[@francisflood8921]

Too bad you didn't video the flight from EWR to MCO! Maybe next time Paul???

[@outwithjohn7038]

The last time I was flying Breeze was from New Orleans to Tulsa in the ERJ 190 during its very early stages. The seated class I was in was Nicer cause the plane only had two classes Nice and Nicer. I wish they had more flights to the Central Plains states. But Breeze Airways became to be one of my favorite airlines.

[@roberthamilton1301]

Thanks Mate

[@Cassie4486]

That's why when you clear security, ALWAYS buy food at the airport & either eat it there or bring it on the plane for later.

[@maxpowr90]

A transcontinental flight without meal service seems cruel.

[@DCONightingale]

I'm with you on the prices at US airports. At LAX, Duty Free costs more than the high street on many items. I'd never heard of Breeze until now-will def consider for trans continental flights for the "nicest" seat alone. Shame they don't feed you.

[@umbreonpokemon8190]

I think the aircraft do have ovens. I saw a picture a few months ago in the forward galley and was surprised. So hard to tell what breeze has up its sleeve for future additions to the experience

[@TimJamison-qc6sw]

I'm a flight attendant for another airline, and Breeze does have ovens in the forward galley.

[@jaysmith1408]

I flew breeze from John Wayne to John Glenn, besides them not accepting my bicycle as luggage (American did, no charge) and the abysmal ground handling (some contractor I never heard of) the airline went well beyond my expectations. It was just as relaxing as my flight on American on the way over, since neither had meal service, it was an even playing field.

[@LuccaRPG]

I never forgave Breeze for cancelling a flight to Charleston 12 HOURS before it was gonna depart due to 'mechanical issues'. Which they apparently have a lot of. Oh, and they have no help call line. It's by their stupid app. Never got a chance to try their 'nicest/ascent' seats. No entertainment whatsoever (though this is a minor quibble in the age of tablets). They eventually comped some of our miles but they pretty much cancelled our entire trip since we were travelling cross country. I'm glad things went better for you! This happened a little less than a year ago so maybe things have gotten better.

[@Gunner40Five]

Unfortunately Breeze have suspended this route until 2024. SNA have told the airlines to reduce capacity until next year. I was going to do this same route in reverse, but when I went to book it..........every thing is blacked out until February.

[@jtrender7833]

I fly Breeze, usually Breese Accent, between CAK-LAS.

[@ukdavepianoman]

Really interesting video. I've flown a fair bit around America and never even heard of Breeze! For the price of First Class it looks a very attractive option. Not sure about Nice/Nicer/Nicest and Breeze Ascent as marketing terms - but I guess we pick it up quickly enough.
