They probably lowered the landing gear early because they were given a very slow speed restriction from Air Traffic Control. For example, the other day I was given a “slow as possible” speed restriction from approach into RDM. We were fully configured around 12,000’. Lowering the gear is one of the best ways to slow your plane down quickly.
So the 220 is super aerodynamic which is great for fuel efficiency and having a quiet cabin but this plane is super difficult to get down when we are high and fast. If ATC leaves us high and fast, we are very limited in options to get down quick and the gear will always do the trick.Thanks for flying with us
Great video. I flew breeze ascent from SPI to MCO on august 3 and other than a 4 hour delay I really enjoyed it. Luckily breeze was really good about communication with the delay and wasn’t stuck in the airport all day. Because of the delay Breeze gave us $50 vouchers for a future flight which was very nice. I enjoyed breeze way more than Allegiant from BMI or PIA to SFB. Wish more people knew about the service. Whenever I told people about our flight they all commented that they had never heard of Breeze.
@@bendon26 that’s great they communicated well. I had someone on my flight commenting that this flight was better than Allegiant as well 😂 I guess they would normally fly the SPI-PGD flight.
I have flown Breeze (MX) 11 times, mainly to/from CAK. All but two were in Ascent seat (the other two were CAK-PBI with E195 planes & Nicer seat best available on those). Great service on all of them. You should be able to go 4 to 5 hours without a meal. Used MX between CMH- SNA and CAK-LAX. The flight CMH-SNA was only $302.00 upfront one way. The CAK-LAX flight was $356.00 & my UA return flight LAX-CLE was $856.00 (CLE is only 40 miles from CAK). I use UA a lot in First but that's a big difference in fares for a meal. On MX, they come around several times in Ascent for drinks/snacks on the longer flights. If hunger is an issue, they have snack boxes you can purchase. I've never flown in the Nice cabin but know people who have & they said their seats are more comfortable than G4 or F9 flights.
Thank you for sharing your trip here. I am glad you had a good experience here flying in the A220. I take it the snack/meal service could be with a breakfast wrap and sandwiches for the afternoon at least?😊 Furthermore, I heard that landing was a little hard there in Tampa!😊
@@joshmaer thanks a lot! Quincy is western Illinois so not technically central. Thanks for that input on the gear, I had a feeling it was related to reduce speed.
Yes, I miss those days of having Meigs Field Airport here in our downtown area. We use to have a ton of general aviation flying in and out of that beautiful small airport. I use to over to the Lake Michigan area towards the airport. I miss walking upstairs on the Observation Deck to see Illinois Air come up from Springfield. And to see Citation 1s and 2s fly in. And to see big King Air aircraft landing and parking was soo nice. But when it was closed soo abruptly one crazy night well, that was a sad situation!!
I loved today’s video! I read a long time ago that Breeze was starting service from Springfield, Illinois to Florida, and I was super excited. I’m from northern Illinois and have O’Hare and Midway right nearby so I’ve never found an excuse to go down to Springfield and fly to Florida from there, but I’m really excited to one day! Oh, on a kind of related note, do you have any United Boeing 737 MAX 9 videos you can point me to, old or new? I’ve flown on their beautiful Boeing 737 MAX 8 before, at least two or three times, but I’m flying their MAX 9 for the first time next month from ORD-RDU.
Sometimes teams will charter a big plane for the team itself and a slightly smaller plane for team staff, press, families etc. But not every team does this. With it being pre-season i can see some spill over with extra scouts and players on board.
took Breeze from tampa to charleston.alright flight for an hr.had to pay for everything,including drinks and wifi.for an hr flight would do it again,but no longer flights
VPS is my hometown airport, really wish other carriers like Breeze or JetBlue would service it, currently Allegiant is the only LCC/ULCC serving the airport, and they absolutely suck. I also wish there was more focus on other parts of the state as well as the wider southeast. Currently, VPS does not have any nonstop services to any other airports in Florida. Pensacola has intrastate flights offered by Spirit and Silver, but VPS doesn't have any. Allegiant is clearly focused solely on bringing vacationers into my hometown and doesn't really attempt to serve the local community at all. As someone who has had to move around for work, previously working in Orlando, having an option to fly home nonstop from MCO, or SFB with Allegiant would have been really convenient, unfortunately, no such service to VPS exists. I know this comment is kinda ranty, but anytime someone brings up leisure travel between midwestern states and Florida, I am reminded of the frustration of being stuck somewhere else in the same state with no economic way to go home to my family. Just to make a point of how big FL is, Orlando is an 8-hour drive from my hometown.
After watching this video, I wondered not only how many airports there were in Indiana, but if they could be reached by passenger serivice all in one day. I thought there would be 5, (Gary/Chicago GYY, Indianapolis IND, South Bend, Ft. Wayne, and Evansville.) But GYY no longer has passenger service, although it does have charters. Also there is no way to fly from one Indiana airport to another without a connection in O'Hare, Detroit (DFW), or Atlanta, so in one day wouldn't work, either.
Might have been overweight for landing so needed to burn off extra weight. Extending the gear early would cause more drag and thus burn more fuel. Or perhaps needed an expedited decent or slight mechanical issue with the gear. I’d say the first is the most likely
I keep hoping Breeze will announce flights into MCI, but I don't think it's happening anytime soon. The cleanliness issues you pointed out are unacceptable. I know that they aren't going back to the COVID-era steam cleaning and sanitizing anytime soon with staffing costs being what they are, but there shouldn't be weeks' or months' worth of crumbs and dirt lining the storage pockets.

That was going to be my guess.

Great bud as always. What about Quincy? Southern airways flies out of there and the gear was probably lowered to reduce speed and increase drag
@@joshmaer thanks a lot! Quincy is western Illinois so not technically central. Thanks for that input on the gear, I had a feeling it was related to reduce speed.
Another Great video
2:38 I saw that coming 😂
Great video! The brakes might have been hot. That might explain why the gear was down so early, airflow might help to cool hem down.
Springfield used to have frequent service from the now-closed Meigs Field (CGX) in Chicago.

It be cool to see Breeze seasonally fly to MKE.

Please do a video from Orlando to AVP

how did you get back to springfield??
@@davidharris2519 Amtrak from Chicago
how was the load on the flight
@@davidharris2519 looked like less than half full
Rice or Roti?
@@Zayedairportisbig I’m taking roti 8 times out of 10
they used to service 100,000 back in the day and those letters have done nothing so far it is still adead airport and air wisc service sucks
im flying into ohare tomorrow… any tips?
@@upaviation787 what tips exactly?
