Slowly but surely, Breeze Airways is working towards becoming one of the best airlines in the US. They’ve still got a ways to go yet, but with the addition of the A220-300 to their fleet, things are looking up.
These airplanes feature a premium seating option which they call the “Nicest” seats. They aren’t kidding. They are pretty nice.
This is a full review of Breeze Airways flight number 116 from Richmond, VA to San Francisco, CA. Total flying time was 5 hours and 15 minutes, I had seat number 5F (one of them fancy “Nicest” seats), and the aircraft registration was N206BZ.

One thing that I didn’t hear mentioned was the nicest seat also comes with 2 free checked bags, a free carry on bag, and a personal bag. That alone is around $120 in savings (give or take depending on flight route) so it definitely seems worth it to me. Hoping to try it out next year and look forward to the next video
I work for Breeze as a flight attendant. They do plan to bring meals for the longer flights. the Chex mix you ate is usually sold to passengers and not given.
Are they good? I hate flying.
We have been watching Scott for last 2-3 years. He has inspired us to take so many of these routes on new and interesting airlines! THANKS SCOTT for all the insights, jokes and crazy cool videos
You’re very welcome - I’m very glad that you’re finding my videos to be inspirational!
I agree that Breeze has a very unique, striking livery, and the A220 is already a good looking airplane. I got some great shots of this very aircraft, N206BZ, as she was landing at SDF not too long ago
I love Breeze Airlines. They had trainees on my flight and they were amazing. They were kind and jovial with each other. The flight was the smoothest ever. I treated myself to an upgrade in the nicest seats because I’m an old and portly gal!! Sooo comfortable!! Loved the tray tables for my phone and snacks. I flew from RIC to SF and we were there in just under 5 hours. I fly frequently to San Francisco and that was my most comfortable flight yet. Didn’t really care about having a meal. My guess is that this is a new airline that is evolving as much as time allows. Highly recommended!!❤
I work for Airbus and delivery all the a220s for breeze, delta, and jet blue. Been apart of every single aircraft made lol
Better than Boeing right about now!
It’s an honor to have you onboard our flagship! Thank you for your time and service.
Your videos are amazing. Breeze Airways is planning on bringing hot food onboard with their onboard ovens they have installed.
Thanks! It was a really great flight. It’s also good to know that more substantial food is coming in the near future. I’ll be back to try it out!
@@sanspotter :)
Something so simple such as a hot meal offering goes a long way, regardless of it costing extra. The planes are new n beautiful. I'm def wanting to fly on breeze next time I travel.
Completely agree that a meal offering, even for a cost, should be offered on such a long flight. The seats look very, for lack of a better term, nice. Gotta love the A220
Yup, as soon as they start serving real food, the other airlines will have have something to worry about. Until then…
@@sanspotter breeze isn’t profitable even right now offering nothing on a 5 hour flight other than a bottle of water and and some leftover Halloween candy while also paying their crew legitimate PEANUTS. I don’t understand the optimism with breeze. There’s nothing innovative here. When you look at all the reasons why other airlines don’t fly underserved routes with First Class Nonstop it’s because the demand falls off a cliff when you start charging for what it actually cost to operate it
I'll take a half sub
I was one of the working FAs on that flight😊
Glad you enjoyed it.
I've heard Breeze is discussing real food options and ovens in the A220. However you mentioned it in your review, you paid an AMAZING price for a transcon, premium seat. With that amazing price, there may be a subtraction or two, including hot food. In addition, it adds to the workload of a Flight Attendant and weight of an airplane. I bet they will want to work out all the kinks like you mentioned before they start any additional service. Great video. I've wanted to fly the A220 for a long time and hopefully I will get a chance soon.
I would gladly pay what he paid for his ticket plus a few bucks for an actual meal. Not including it at that price point is perfectly acceptable, but it would be nice to have the option, even for an extra charge.
I have terrible anxiety issues being crammed into economy seats (and that's with medication lol), so I'm currently paying high prices for domestic first to have any hope of arriving at my destination intact mentally. Breeze has said they plan to make my local airport one of their operational bases, so I'm REALLY looking forward to being able to utilize their Nicest fares!
So nice to see this video. I live about 45-60 minutes from RIC, so nice to see some local options.
Nice to see Richmond’s airport featured; I flew in and out of there a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised.
I swear I’m not on the chamber of commerce, but Richmond is a great place to visit. Definitely check it out.
I'm so happy that people are finally going to my home airport, Richmond!
Richmond is my home airport. Thanks for this video!
Another great video Scott. I'm hoping to take Breeze next year from White Plains to LAX, so this was useful!
Thanks Paul! Hopefully they will be serving real food by the time you get the chance to fly with them. Either way, I think you’re really going to enjoy it!
HPN is the best airport in the tri-state area.
I love the A220. Flew on one twice on Delta, and it was a nice flight!
Yeah, the A220 is probably my favorite aircraft at the moment. 👍🏻
It looks so cute and reminds of Embraer one that JetBlue uses!
I recently flew from Nashville to Hartford on Breeze. They have some of the most enthusiastic flight attendants I’ve met and I loved the conversations! I was lucky enough to see two on both flights! Hi A, if you see this!
Unfortunately, Breeze ordered the A220 without lavatory windows, so no loo with a view.
Flew this route back I august. We experienced the delays…they told me through Facebook (the only way you can correspond with the company) that they ran out of A220 pilots due to callouts and had to shift crews around. The flight was delayed 4:30 hrs out of Tampa the morning of our flight which caused a delay for the entire day. Fortunately they let us know the night before.
The aircrew was extremely apologetic and were amazing. My wife and my daughter sat in the nicest seat and they had a very comfortable flight, got a good laugh out of the in flight meal. We came prepared though. I sat in the nicer seat and got a water and kind bar.
Overall I was pleased with the experience. They are a new company so I can sort of expect there to be hiccups. As a military member whose wife and my family are both in the east coast, this is a great cheap option for our family.
Also they don’t have in flight entertainment, but they did tell us before we got on the plane that we should download movies books, music etc.
this channel is massively underrated
I've flown Breeze several time Tampa-Huntsville. Always a good deal and no problems
As a Canadian Aviation enthusiast I can tell you that particular livery is near universally reviled here in Canada.
I kinda got that sense when I saw that FA taking pics of our airplane. 😂
I'm not sure why it's reviled, I think it's stunning. The new AC livery looks like a bad ripoff of the Delta livery. i could see the new one being reviled much more than the old one.
@@davidcole333 The new Black/white is a throwback to AC's 90s livery, the colour of the muted blueish grey livery has been compared to "avian leavings"
@@lockonstrato Idk why Canadians bash them so much... They're definitely one of the best in North America. I would only consider AC DL for US/Canada travel. Airlines that cheap out on IFE's lost my business looking at you UA, WS, AA
I found it difficult to determine from the video why the legrest is not of use to those under 6’ tall. (From my view, the most notable thing was that is appears to be blocked from extending by the backpack.)
Just two days ago I flew with breeze from Norfolk intl to Akron-Canton on a E190. It was a nice flight, the seats were pretty comfortable and had nice leg room. I'm going to fly back to Norfolk in a few days. So far, Breeze is a pretty good airline, especially for it being so new.
Great review Scott!!
As a tall guy (6’5”) really the only thing I care about is the amount of leg room and space I have. I could care less about the entertainment and food onboard. I almost always watch my own entertainment anyways and usually eat a meal before taking to the skies. Great video Scott!
Thanks Kevin! If you don’t care all that much about food and in-flight entertainment, you’d definitely like the Breeze Airways Nicest seat experience. It was worth the price IMHO.
Love the look of those Breeze A220 planes. Flew on one from TPA to SNA last week and it was fantastic.
I still don’t understand how Scott is not up there with Jeb Brooks! He makes quality stuff!
Video frequency. Gotta put out more than a video every month or two.
Yep, RUclips is just a small just part of my business now. Not the whole thing anymore.
The 747 is the Queen of the skies.😊
Cool Video Scott! Just an FYI Breeze is not the only us airline to have PED (personal electronic decice) holder. AA has them on the majority of their fleet that lack IFEs.
Gonna say it, 787 is the best looking plane of this generation
Finallly! You are back! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a month…
Haha, thanks! Yeah, I know I’ve been slacking…😬😄
Just took Breeze for a roundtrip over the weekend. ~2 hours each way. Wife and I were pleasantly surprised as we didn't expect much given the low price.
I LOVE Breeze, this is gonna be an amazing airline and the A220's are super nice!
Thanks for this informative posting. We are planning a trip on this carrier in May, from So. Cal. to Northern KY/Cincinnati . Unfortunately they will be flying their smaller Embraer jet for that route, but we have booked their "Nicest" seating. We have our fingers crossed!
The Breeze livery is gorgeous
We loved Breeze. Full size chips or Candy. Employees were really friendly. Pilots were super friendly and the landing was the smoothest I have ever had. (Bummer lol. I like the bounce). Had zero complaints. Will fly again. Come prepared with food.
I recently flew TPA_RIC and found the Richmond airport very nice!
Another great review Scott. Breeze still has some things to iron out by the looks of it, but that seat looks comfortable and the bathrooms look clean and new. I can't believe they gave out regular sized bags of Chexmix
Thanks! Yeah, Breeze is on their way to being one of the best in the US I think. They just need to survive through this tough economy…
@@sanspotter
Unless “IROPS” happens.
i look forward to this mans videos everytime
Muchas gracias 😄
I just got hired as A Flight Attendant with Breeze Airways !!
Breeze is now flying from New Orleans so I may be using it, Thank you for the review.
$372 on premium class on a 2500 mile flight from Richmond to Sodom? Sounds like a good deal to me, food or no food. The seat looks superior to AA, DL or UA's domestic narrowbody premium seat. I always bring my own food on board when I fly on a US airline unless it's on an international widebody flight.
This is not premium this is prmitive. No china no linen no champagne.i do mean champagne. No 4 course meal
No nothing. I would refuse to step onboard
@@clausstimpfi4467 Good. No sense forcing other people to put up with a snob for 5 hours.
@@janellek21 i love luxury and french champagne. This airline is pathetic. I prefer air france la premiere ultra deluxe first class service. Or Emirates first class on the a 380 . guess what sometimes my husband calls me spoiled. So what i am what i am
Was there a point to you showing your ignorance in the first sentence for all to see? 🤔
@@robyoungquist5803 ???????
Awesome review as always man🙌🙌
Oh yeah, definitely try that Air Canada plane. Looking forward to it already! Thanks as always ✈️☺️
The best US based A220 carrier is Delta! Delta has the entertainment screens in the seat backs, and this is the only A220 with the rear LAV window. The passenger compartment of the Delta A220 is far superior to any other.
Richmond such a cool and nice airport prolly my favorite
Great video! I will be flying this product tomorrow from HSV-LAS
Thanks! Have fun - and bring food. 😄
LAS? You mean Breeze flies to Gomorrah as well as Sodom? 🤣
How was it?
HELLO FROM A RIC RAMP AGENT
I had that exact same FA on a flight from CHS-TPA!!!
I love that ice blue Air Canada planes as well.
Dear scott
Thanx. You know that i would refuse to step on board on such a junk well so called airline
I know me being the spoiled baby boy...like my husband calls me.....sometimes.
On our last trip to the u.s. we took the train from san diego up to the north.
Super staff. Good food. And a not complaining spouse...good for my guy. Looking forward to your next trops. All the best
@SANspotter i flew on that to and from tampa international to norfolk and back to tampa. not bad at all. luckily there was someone plane spotting so i got to see the plane itself taking off
Beautiful! Love your videos and always look forward to more!
$350 for a 5 hr flight, without full flat seats, and no food, is NOT a good deal. Food is bare minimum!!
At least its a "normal" snack. Jetblue keeps trying to serve us seed bars and other weird choices.
What a BIG snack bag!! Easily that was $250 of the ticket cost. haha.
Looks like Breeze is a good contender against the "regular" JetBlue seats....well except their "regular" seats aren't "business class". Anyways, another great review! I'll have to check Breeze out one of these days. Until the next video!
Thanks! Yeah, I probably would have had worse things to say about the snack if it wasn’t for the fact that I like Chex Mix so much. 😄
Like their paint scheme
As a picky eater that Chex Mix is a great inflight meal🤣
Anthor great video 👍
Thanks Max!
I am looking forward to hopefully having you onboard when Porter starts its service from YYZ to SFO. I promise we will have more than Chex Mix to keep you satiated en route.
Reminds me a lot of American’s first class seats on their 738’s, right down to the tablet holder on the tray table. But these seats are somehow nicer.
My guy start flying JetBlue economy from LAX to MIA. It felt like I was in business class. Free snack pantry and drinks!
Scott, it was a GREAT video! I am happy to subscribe! I watched it because me & the Missus are planning to visit San Diego this coming Spring. Breeze will serve our hometown airport, Cincinnati, then. We will likely fly Breeze CVG-SFO, then self-connect to Southwest to take us to SAN. (I love to take trips this way!) Thanks for your work & I hope our paths cross sometime.
P. S. I'm sorry that your Padres lost in the NLCS. I'm hoping to catch a game in Petco Park while I'm out there!
I strongly agreed when u said a220's are probably the best looking commercial jet liner currently out there. My opinion is the same
Finally you updated
That's a great deal for a non-stop across country. I'll buy my own food
I think having the flight from RIC direct to west coast alone makes it worth the money..
Flew the Air Canada A-330 from Toronto to San Francisco back in August. Looks like the same one 👍
Awesome job in your video keep up the Good work
Hey, United actually has tablet holders built into the tray table on domestic first class seats on all MAX aircraft, all Airbus aircraft and the 737-700's, (true) Polaris, (and all Premium Plus seats on widebodies).
Another fantastic review, Scott!
Thanks so much!
They nickle and dime you for everything
Breeze is flying out of San Bernardino now to SFO , that’s really convenient if you live in the inland empire, thanks for your video bro cheers 🍻😎
Thanks! I didn’t even know they were flying to San Bernardino now - that’s pretty cool.
Love the video as always, thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice report. I only discovered yesterday, while at HPN, that Breeze flies nonstop from White Plains to LAX. Now I need to think of a reason to visit LA again. But I disagree about Air Canada - that old livery always reminded me of a bottle of mouthwash. The new livery is far nicer.
What a lovely flight experience.
Great video yet again.
Keep it up.
Thanks Meeran - glad you enjoyed the video!
@@sanspotter You're welcome.
Good videos as usual. You nailed it sanspotter! I love traveling as well although I do it rarely. Last I did it was 2016 to Italy. But I'll be traveling december in about 3 months.
Good video as always and I love your channel :)
Dang it! Had I known you'd be flying from my town, I'd have booked just to meet you lol
Very nice review and yes, they should offer (sell) some nice, fresh sandwiches. Chex mix is really not enough for a 5 hour flight. Cheers.
Great review, I'm still waiting for their ORF - LAX route, they pushed it back to some time in 2023.
Ouch! I didn’t realize they pushed that one back so far.
I was about to go there. Living in Virginia Beach, I'd love to see Scott come to Norfolk.
Maybe he can do the LAX-ORF once it's finally launched.
WN was flying SAN-ORF for awhile during the pandemic but dropped it
@@gwynn1983 - Connecting two Navy towns.
AC has been flying widebodies of all kinds to SFO for a while now, though some flights are still on narrowbodies. My YYZ-SFO nonstop in business class on an AC A320 some years ago wasn't the most comfortable affair.
Now I want to see the "Nicer" seat. I need to have some room and a free checked bag. Off to the YT rabbit hole...
Air Canada, best livery...? Toothpaste green? Um, nooooo 😂😂
I have read from more than one source that Breeze's 223s have ovens installed so stay tuned on hot meals
El otro día vole a Tijuana. Me gusto . Aterrizamos por el otro lado del runway..( por san diego ). Fue genial . Saludos
Something seriously wrong with US carriers. Look at what Air Tanzania is doing with their A220s.
Thanks for the lovely review.
I haven’t seen that, but I’ll have to check it out. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the video!
European carriers have a much better "buy on board" concept compared to US carriers.
While watching this video I noticed a neat little thing, I’ve flown on the delta 757-200 that is shown as he is pulling out of the gate!
I flew Breeze on Christmas Eve from PVD to Norfolk and had a pretty bad experience. The flight was fine, but the airline lost my luggage, after their check-in agent put the wrong passenger tags on my suitcase. I get it, things happen, but just be warned that Breeze has little customer service. There is no phone number to actually speak to a human, all customer service is done via text or FB chat, and is very disorganized. It took a week to get my suitcase back, and that was after I went to the airport three times when I was told it would arrive. The fares are low, just know if you have a problem you'll see why it's so cheap.
Amazing review !
Never been early enough at an airport to have it that empty!
It’s more boring than it looks. 😂
looks like an intersting product, hopefully they expaand the in flight service even if it is BoB, great video- thanks !
Thanks Matt! Yeah, they’re on their way to being a really great airline. They just need to expand their route network a bit…
Nice video! Passenger boarding bridge on departure didn't have the auto-leveler activated -- someone's asking for trouble
I Like the A220.Great Work
According to MX website, it says that Breeze offers a premium snack for Nicest passengers of flights over 4 hours long. Did the F/A say anything about not serving a better snack? It's still a very good price. They are starting CAK-LAS service (4 & half hours) on Oct. 6th & I'm planning to take the flight in the near future in the Nicest section. Hopefully, the premium snack will be available. It will be nice when they get the entire 80 A220s fleet & have the Nicest seats for a lot more markets. When MX gets through their growing pains, I think it will be a great choice between the ULCC & legacy carriers. I booked a Nicer seat for December CMH-PBI nonstop. My ticket is $109 & includes seat assignment, 1 carryon & 1 free checked bag, more legroom, priority boarding, & snack. When checking fare on DL (whom I like to fly on), that same date & route (through ATL) was $215 (cheapest) for comfort plus & $30 for 1 checked bag. I've never flown a ULCC carrier but understand you pay for basically everything; so by the time you pay for advance seat assignment, checked bag, snack/drink, etc., it can't be much cheaper than a more legroom Nicer fare. This will be my first experience on Breeze & I hope it's a pleasant one.
Hopefully they start service from SAN to LAS
Air Canada flies the A321/A330/787 to SFO from Toronto (YYZ) in the Summer season mainly. I'm not sure about other seasons. A 787 makes the trip every now and then...
That’s pretty cool. I will definitely try that.
I do love the Breeze Airways livery however I’m not so sure AirCanada has the best livery out there. Seen way better than all white with a red leaf on the tail
Saw the Air Canada A330 at LAX, believe it was goiong to Montreal
Do a video on World2fly Airlines and Flypop Airlines.
Sorry SANSpotter, but the Queen of the Skies, the 747-8 is still the best looking aircraft today, and maybe for the foreseeable future.
Hard to argue against that. 😆 Maybe the A220 can take the top spot once all the 747s are gone…
I still think the A350 wings are beautiful so I’ll call the A220 the best looking single aisle jet.
@@whatevermightwork Maybe it's a generational thing, but my favorite single aisle aircraft is the Boeing 727
@@sainnt I used present tense. If we’re going into the past, I’d have difficulty choosing between the 727, DC-8, and L-1049. Hit Super Constellation is the only one on my list I haven’t flown in.
