Breeze Airways has announced new, twice-a-week service from Jacksonville to San Diego.
Promotional fares start at $129 one way if purchased by Jan. 15 for travel by Sept. 3, Breeze said Tuesday.
Breeze also is offering 35% off all roundtrip base fares from Jan. 15 through May 22. (Use the code “GETFRESH” at checkout on the Breeze app or at flybreeze.com through Jan. 12.)
Flights from Jacksonville International Airport to San Diego International Airport will travel Wednesdays and Saturdays starting May 1.
Breeze is a discount airline that markets itself as the “Seriously Nice Airline,” with fare levels labeled Nice, Nicer and Nicest. The higher levels include perks like more leg room, a carry-on bag, a checked bag, and a snack and drink.
Breeze founder and CEO David Neeleman also founded JetBlue Airways. He has said Breeze aims to serve underserved markets — “so you don’t have to drive long distances or fly through connecting hubs. With Breeze, we’ll get there twice as fast, for about half the price.”
Besides San Diego, Breeze serves 13 destinations from Jacksonville: Columbus, Ohio; Hartford, Connecticut; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; New Orleans; New York/Islip; Norfolk, Virginia; Pittsburgh; Portland, Maine; Providence, Rhode Island; Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; and Westchester County, New York;
