Flying Breeze Airways' Inaugural Flight
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Hey guys! Almost exactly a month apart, two new US Airlines started up, both with quick hour long flights to kick off their operations. The first one being Avelo Airlines which I've already done a video on. Today, I fly aboard the even more hotly anticipated one...Breeze Airways! Instead of flying to secondary airports that are very small and have very little service, Breeze is taking a more mainstream approach flying to large cities without a major hub such as Columbus, Charleston, Hartford, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans. 80% of their planned routes will be without competition so they're really banking on people wanting to fly point to point for very cheap prices over connecting on legacy carriers through their hub airports. And what do I think of the idea? I absolutely, positively, really, very much LOVE it. I also really like how they aren't like any other airline in the US currently, especially not like Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant even though they will be using their formulas for all the "extras". As far as onboard product though, I'd put Breeze in between Southwest and JetBlue. They will be using Embraer 190s and 195s for now until their A220s arrive - which is set to really make Breeze a solid contender. Like I say in the video, I am super optimistic about this new airline and think they'll be around for quite a while. I'll definitely be flying on them again. Hope you guys enjoy!

18:40 - for those interested the book will be called "From Jet Who to JetBlue" by Jorge N. Gayle and will take an inside look at the culture and values that brought humanity back to air travel! Should be out relatively soon
Omaha Eppley Airfield is larger and busier than Charleston International Airport
I know Jorge - great guy! Thought I recognized him! I miss seeing him at LSC (JetBlue’s headquarters.)
Are you from Pittsburgh
@@michaelsharp3615 did anyone ask? The answer is no, no one did.
@@liflyer0413 answer is yes
I love their livery, but the branding on that safety card is the best I have seen yet! Thanks for taking us along.
it was Panda Beting that designed it all!
I heard about this airline on the local news a couple of weeks ago here in Pittsburgh. I agree, great news to hear they want to use PIT! Also, their plane livery looks cool
Breeze is supposed to recover the business routes out of Pittsburgh US Airways used to serve in the hub days! :D
@@steel_city_aviation140 that’s awesome!
David Neeleman founded Azul Airlines in Brazil and Azul today is one of the biggest airlines over there. It started as a low cost and it had some really good prices in the very beginning. Today Azul isn't a low cost any more, it competes against the big dogs. David Neeleman also saved TAP airlines from Portugal from going out of business. And now he's starting a new venture with Breeze. Just for some coincidental context, Azul in english means blue, which is the color of Breeze aircrafts. So not only David Neeleman seems to be a very good airline manager, but his color of luck is apparently blue. :)
Yeah, he loves blue. Surprised you didn’t mention JetBlue
Dont forget JetBlue!!!! We miss him at the blue
Best flight I watched. this was absolutely amazing. I loved it man. Huge fan of your vids. Much love from Philadelphia
9:09 You sat 2 rows in front of the Breeze CEO (and founder of JetBlue/Azul)!
Honestly, I’m impressed, from the airline, to the festivities, to the amazing job Chris did covering the experience! Being in Lexington myself, I need to head to SDF and give them a go!😸😸
Congrats Breeze THIS IS HISTORY! CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR STOCK TO COME OUT SO I CAN LOAD UP ON THE MILLIONS! CONGRATS
I like the livery, it’s a tough market out there for airlines but I wish them the best of luck as I did the same for Avelo, as an employee of one of the biggest US carriers it’s good to see competition and fares being matched on new market’s to cities who have been underserved by us and other carriers, secondary airports you get to avoid all the foot traffic and headaches by missing hubs, thanks for posting
Very nicely documented! I live in the Charleston area and am along the approach path for many of the flights coming in from the south and west. It was great to see a trip report to my hometown!
I'm originally from Arkansas & have determined you must have some southern roots because of you using the words, "looky" & "y'all". LOL. Thanks for inaugural flight!!
If it wasn't for you breeze wouldn't be my favorite airline and I don't think I would have even heard of it so I just want to thank you I mean I really can't thank you enough I LOVE BREEZE
I have flown with them once down to Disney from NY (not the city) and had a great time with only me and my dad so again thanks for helping me and my dads bond grow too
Wonderful video. Always excited for and root for new airlines to make it, especially in in-between sized markets!
Awesome trip report. Love the celebration they made for this inaugural flight, they look fun
Great report my friend. Wish I could've taken it with you and everyone else! I'm glad you were able to document this historic day for aviation! It's too bad this seating layout suffers from the same old ERJ-170-195 problem of having mostly misaligned windows. I read an article somewhere that said something like "also it's seriously NICE that there are no missing windows on their aircraft, and I thought... A lot of the seats might as well not have even had a window as misaligned as they are.
Thanks mate, yah missed you there! Totally agree, while I love the Ejets for their space & comfort, the misaligned windows always seems to be a problem :/
Thanks for sharing!
Thank-you for the info!!The plane looks amazing!!Looks like the passengers are having alot of fun!! Ontario Canada
Great video. Exciting stuff for sure. Love that they will incorporate Pit into their route map.
What an awesome experience! :-D Wonderful videography and editing as always!
Awesome love to see this, 2 new airlines starting up AWESOME
Looks like a really cool airline that I hope expands to the smaller but important cities in my home state of PA like Harrisburg or Allentown. And I agree with you that Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete is the nicest part of Florida. I could definitely move there. Sure looked like a fun day being apart of an inaugural flight.
That is very nice airplane
That was one awesome party you got to go to. Thank you so much for taking the time to upload this. You are the best.
Wow amazing trip report great job
So nice to see happy people on this plane.
Glad you visited my hometown airport to fly on the inaugural flight for breeze! I love Tampa international and it will probably remain to be my favorite airport
lack of power outlets and wifi and PVTs could be beacuse these are older plans with a fresh coat of paint to get them off the ground untill the A22os arrive ... the new planes may have it all
Wow another awesome great video! I love how you edit these and talk it’s like I’m actually there! Got to say this is the best aviation channel in UA-cam! Keep it up 👍
So great you got to be on this flight - and seated only two rows ahead of Neeleman! Looks like a party of a flight! For what it is worth, I think your assessment of where the Breeze model fits in and their chances of success are spot on, but there is no doubt Neeleman is a genius at exploiting market niches. I’m hopeful for Breeze to be as big a success as his other ventures.
Speaking of, any plans to be on JetBlue’s London inaugural by chance?
Love your trip reports !! 👏🏾👏🏾
Me too
What’s so cool is me being a aviation enthusiast near Pittsburgh and having a aviation youtuber with a decent amount of subs being so close. What a small world. 😁
Thanks for sharing your video about flying the new breeze Airways!
Great video
I live in Tampa we heard all of this on the news it is really cool that this airline started in the birthplace of commercial air travel
Family will be flying SAT-XNA on them, and I'll be joining them on the way back, a month and change from now. A bit tighter on the E90 serving that route, but should be fun.
Live Music at the Airport, LOVE IT!!
I am booked for Thursday the 3rd to Charleston. I'm so stoked for this trip!
Cool. I’m flying with them from pvd to Charleston thanks for the preview
I love these airlines, both avelo and breeze
Nicely done video! It would be great if it stayed this way, but I have heard they are going to retrofit their cabins with slimline seats to add an extra row and that free snacks and drinks are temporary until summer when they implement their food and beverage marketplace. They are also supposed to have entertainment streaming by summer though. It will be interesting to see how the overall experience changes as they implement these things since they weren't ready at launch.
That’s great 👍 thank you for sharing this video. Also good luck 🍀 for this airlines 🙏🏻
i had the privilege to work for jet blue from year 2000 to 2009 under Nealman, he is one of the best CEOs in my opinion especially when it comes to employees, he treats employees and their families with the upmost respect, the quality of jetblue has fallen over the years since david left and that airline has turned into a growing empire by big corporations and less attention to their employees, congrats David for breeze
Awesome video and what a nice Airline I'm so glad to see them out there!
Love the swag you all got. And now I can't wait for the Michael Sharp comments to start flocking in LOL!
- Red
I'm counting 8 so far--wish Michael would go OUT THERE rather than urging others to see him in Omaha--OUT THERE is where the avgeeks live and have their being--Michael needs to greatly expand his world! Rant over! :)
Nice refreshments for a short flight.
Glad you included Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) at 10:45 as one of the destinations. It's suffered in recent years from all the turmoil, losing flights and carriers to the behemoth Hopkins in Cleveland an hour to the north. CAK is a great facility and a much more pleasant experience than CLE. Hoping Breeze is a great success.
Very well done, and informative. I'm also from Pittsburgh and can see myself using this airline in the future. I love non stop flights. I don't like trudging through Airports between destinations. Thanks
19R is one of my favorite runways to takeoff from. As soon as you rotate you can see the bay immediately off the right hand side.
What a great party! They di great! And you too! Bravo!
Great job covering this special event! I wonder if they’ll come to Denver, where I live?
Hope you enjoyed the flight✈️✈️
Enjoyed your video a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Ugh, wanna fly so bad again, haven’t flown since the pandemic started
It’s perfectly safe and tickets are really cheap right now... so do it!
I'm gonna be flying soon to meet my..mother. Excited for the flight!
Same. The last time I flew was in summer of 2019. At least I have a few transatlantic flights planned for this winter which I am excited for.
My first time flying breeze was amazing and also my first time flying in a EJET the flight was from (CAK) to (PIT) a couple weeks ago
I remember retirement flights like Delta MD 88 and the AA Boeing 737 MAX 8 reinaugural had media at the gates as well as the Alaska Boeing 737 MAX 9 inaugural
Fantastic video Chris, very entertaining from Australia
yeah its good. you knew how to assess a flight . i also viewed your avelo flight. keep it up.
Very interesting flight! I can't believe that Louisville (SDF) is one of the first destinations! I also love the free snacks in-flight and arrival at CHS. Too bad there wasn't any IFE. But can't wait for that to come. Great video!
I've heard about this airline, hope they eventually serve DCA! It'd be nice having a new option here to fly with.
My local airport (BDL) is one of the focus cities for Breeze!
So Avelo y for the West coast? Great video, congrats!
please god, come to Sanford!! I can't keep flying Allegiant man, it's pure hell!!
Aaaaaaaaas
Looks like a Cool Flight. Hopefully they eventually fly out of Harrisburg (MDT) later on, especially when they get the Airbus A220 airplanes.
I like the look of these planes
I like the 2 by 2 rows
I also thought you were going to do this too ever since I heard there would be two new airlines this spring. As a matter of fact a couple days ago I was playing tennis at a local park and then a plane went really close right above me and the other players. It doesn’t usually happen right there that often.
Very nice seat colors. It looks more upgraded airlines comparing to those low cost carries.
I hope that this is one more score of Mr. Neeleman - Azul is considered the best airline in the world, thanks to his belief in Brazil`s potential. By the way, this very E-195 used to be Azul`s PR-AUB, now N190BZ (very happy denomination indeed!). Thanks for sharing!
I love your videos ❤❤❤
I think this Airline is going to do well.
So proud for Embraer. Congrats form Brazil.
I agree with you on your comment about having that jetblue feel, southwest employees and spirit prices, also i am not sure if you know that David Neeleman was also part of the original southwest airlines start up along with Herb Keleher.
but it is sad to know that jetblue is now charging a $35 fee for a carry on bag on certain fares and if you have to check it in at the gate then the fee is $65
I flew from Charleston to Tampa this weekend. I will fly this airline again
I am VERY down for a low cost carrier flying E-Jets, although their business model sounds a lot like Allegiant's...fly routes between under-served areas with little legacy competition and the demand will fill in by itself. I think I'm rooting for Breeze though.
I wish they would expand to CLT to some of the destinations that don’t get flown to from
here
Awesome livery
Can't wait to fly with Breeze! Are they going to be using the E190's that JetBlue currently flies?
Amazing review! Hi from Australia!
Well, the seats sure look more comfortable than Frontier's rock hard non recliners for economy.
Thanks for the video. I am wanting to fly on breeze. Look the look.
loved the video! will you being going to San Fransisco anytime in the near future? id love to see a san fran video
I've been waiting for this video. I hope Breeze does service to Houston soon
Very nice video. Love to see TPA in your videos. Best airport in the world but then I might be a little biased.
It was weird seeing the building I work in as soon as you touched down 😅
Nice video.. E195 are ok, but when they start getting A220s, that will be a huge game changer
Great video! Now a subscriber 👍🏻
I hope will expand to mid-wesrtern states to service our regional airports. Specifically Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island, Nebraska.
@Chris Jazz breeze also has nonstop service to rdu and at a great deal too
Sounds like the final routes before the re-born PaanAm failed.
Great video..
Blue grey goes with blue like theme
hi, I flew the e195 up to CHS yest, no service, great seats though, rude staff. The return to TPA was on the A223, and the nice seat has no lumbar support, very tight on leg room, again no service( 56min flight with turbulence due to storms) and again, staff were not friendly at all. I was kinda surprised as I was expecting the B6 style with WN hospitality. I was wrong on both. Dissapointing to be honest.
That cabin is like all used stuff I think, that’s probably the reason for the color choices
I want your job . How can I get into this business? I love travel and always wanted to be a flight attendant . Love watching your videos. My fav was the Alaska Milk Run , when you actually talked during the the video .
Seriously, how do you deal with take off and turbulence? That's what scares me to death!
You don't have to be a jerk. I also wasn't asking you.
I know how you feel. Turbulence & takeoff can be scary
OMG I LEFT TAMPA AT THE SAME DAY AT THE SAME AIRPORT!!! AND I WAS ON A TRAM THAT WENT BY THE BREEZE PLANES TO
Breezes livery is clean
Thats Awesome!
I woulda just said I was flying, got a slice of cake and leave 😂
I know this doesn’t have much to do with this video, but can a piper Cherokee do a Montreal-Quebec City flight?
