Breeze Airways Debuts Airbus A220 Aircraft in Huntsville

Huntsville travelers will soon be able to fly on new Airbus aircraft to Tampa, FL and Charleston, SC. Beginning May 6th, Breeze Airways will be premiering its new ‘Nicest’ fare with first-class seating and an introductory fare of just $99. 

Huntsville International Airport (HSV) will be one of the first in the nation to be served by the fleet of new, Mobile-built planes. As the largest commercial airport in North Alabama, HSV serves over 1 million passengers annually. Additionally, HSV offers nonstop service to ten destinations that are served by American, Delta, and United Airlines, along with ultra-low-cost carriers, such as Breeze Airways, Frontier Airlines, and Silver Airways

Breeze will have 15 Mobile-built A220-300s in service by the end of 2022, which will be used primarily for longer-haul flights, including transcontinental service. The carrier, which began service in May 2021 with an all-Embraer fleet, has agreed to purchase eighty A220-300s, with one aircraft scheduled to be delivered each month for the next six and a half years.

The A220-300 aircraft will feature a dynamic seating plan which can be customized for seasonality or by route. The A220s offers a range between 10 and 45 extra legroom seats and 80 standard legroom seats, all in a two-by-three configuration. The aircraft also will be outfitted with between 12 and 36 first class seats in a two-by-two configuration, featuring 39-inches of seat pitch, 20.5-inches of seat width, and special features such as a footrest for added comfort. All seats will be fitted with in-seat power and USB ports.  

Until now, Breeze guests have been able to select from either the ‘Nice’ or ‘Nicer’ fare when booking on the Breeze A220 SeatingBreeze website or app. Travelers will have an enticing third fare option. When booking a flight on the A220-300, guests can choose the ‘Nicest’ fare, which will include a range of bundled amenities, along with first-class seating.

The ‘Nicest’ fare will include two checked bags, a carry-on bag, and a personal item. Travelers will also receive 6% BreezePoints earned. On the longer routes, fresh food items will be introduced sometime in the future. 

Later this year, all A220-300 aircraft will be outfitted with technology that will allow guests to seamlessly stream TV or movies, check email, browse the internet, and stay connected via social media or messaging apps while inflight.

Breeze has extended its travel booking window through September 6, 2022, revealing which routes the A220 will operate. To determine which flights are operated by the A220, travelers should check to see if there is a “Nicest” fare option, only available on the Airbus jet.

The Salt Lake City based Breeze began operations in May 2021 and is considered the nation’s best funded start-up airline in history. Breeze provides service between 16 cities across 13 states, which by mid-February will expand to 18 cities and 14 states. 

What’s unique about Breeze is that it relies on an app that delivers a simple yet, streamlined travel experience, providing users with the self-service tools need for booking, managing, changing, and canceling flights. In fact, the airline does not have a traditional call center; it handles guest requests via text message, Facebook Messenger, and email. 

Founded by serial airline entrepreneur David Neeleman, considered to be one of the very few people who has launched five successful airline start-ups: Azul, JetBlue, Westjet, Morris Air, and Breeze Airways.

The ultra-low fare carrier merges kindness and technology to deliver its signature Seriously Nice™ nonstop service between secondary airports, bypassing hubs, and saving travelers valuable time and money. With Breeze, there are never any change or cancellation fees, even up to 15 minutes before departure and flight credits don’t expire for 24 months.
