Breeze Announces Two New Destinations from Louisville: Nonstop to Raleigh-Durham and One-Stop to Jacksonville

February 14, 2023

5 Routes Now On Sale from Louisville From Just $39* One Way

Breeze Airways, the newest, nicest low-fare airline, is introducing two summer seasonal routes from Louisville, starting in May through September 5, with nonstop flights to Raleigh-Durham, NC (RDU) and one-stop/no plane change BreezeThru service to Jacksonville, FL (JAX).  The new flights are now on sale at introductory fares, from just $39* one way.  Breeze now offers 143 nonstop routes between 35 cities in 21 states nationally.

“Breeze continues their growth in Louisville with the addition of nonstop service to Raleigh-Durham, SDF’s top unserved market in the East,” said Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority. “With links to both healthcare and life sciences industries in this area, this is another way SDF is helping to better connect our community. Plus, U of L fans now have an easy, low-cost option to visit Raleigh-Durham and cheer on the Cards throughout the year when they take on several ACC opponents in the area. We are appreciative of Breeze’s on-going commitment to our community and see this as another momentum builder for the year ahead.”

“Here we grow again,” said David Neeleman, Breeze Airways’ Founder and CEO.  “We always look for routes that people are traveling today but can’t get there nonstop. Louisville residents can now get to Raleigh-Durham twice as fast, for about half the price!”

Guests on Breeze may choose from three fare bundles that are offered as ‘Nice’, ‘Nicer’, and ‘Nicest’.  Nicest bundles are only available on flights operated with Airbus A220 aircraft.

From Louisville, KY (SDF): 

  • Raleigh-Durham, NC (Mon and Fri, starting May 19 through September 5, Nice from $39* one way; Nicer from $79*); and
  • Jacksonville, FL (One-stop/no plane change BreezeThru, Mon and Fri, starting May 19).

In addition, Breeze has four existing routes on sale for travel through March, also starting at $39* one way from SDF:

  • Charleston, SC (from $39** for travel thru 3/7, or from $45*** from 3/22-31);
  • San Francisco, CA (from $99** thru 3/7);
  • New Orleans, LA (from $39** thru 3/7 or from $45*** from 3/22-31);
  • Tampa, FL (from $40** thru 3/7).

Seat pitch for a Standard Economy seat is 30 inches on the A220s and 31 inches on the E-195s, while seat pitch for Extra Legroom is 32 inches on the A220s and between 34 and 39 inches on the E-195s, depending on the row selected. First Class seats feature 39 inches of seat pitch, 20.5 inches of seat width, and special features including a footrest for added comfort, and in-seat AC power and USB/C ports.

Guests also have an a la carte option where they can choose a ‘Nice’ or ‘Nicer’ bundle and add a First Class seat as well. Breeze has ordered 80 brand new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, with options for 40 more.

Breeze doesn’t charge change or cancellation fees up to 15 minutes prior to departure and offers other benefits such as free family seating and a la carte pricing. With seamless booking, no change or cancellation fees, up to 24-months of reusable flight credit and customized flight features delivered via a sleek and simple app, Breeze makes it easy to buy and easy to fly.
