Have you heard of Breeze Airways and the cheap flights to Disney Parks? If you’re some of the lucky few to be serviced by Breeze Airways, you’re in even more luck because I have all the details on flying Breeze with nonstop service, direct flights and new routes to Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Updated May 2023.
Quick Look at Breeze Airways to Disney Parks
Will Breeze Airways work for your travel itinerary? Here’s a quick look on where they fly in 2023 and how easily they can get you from home to Disney theme parks in no time.
If you want to fly Breeze to Disneyland
The best way to fly Breeze to Disneyland is to fly into Orange County (SNA). Breeze Airways currently flies to Orange County from:
- Charleston International Airport – Charleston, SC (CHS)
- Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport – Cincinnati, OH (CVG)
- John Glenn International Airport – Columbus, OH (CMH)
- Orlando International Airport – Orlando, FL (MCO) one–stop, no plane change
- Pittsburgh International Airport – Pittsburgh, PA (PIT)
- Provo Municipal Airport – Provo / about an hour south of Salt Lake City, UT (PVU) nonstop route
- Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport – Providence, RI / Boston, MA (PVD)
What’s missing from these routes? I’d definitely like to see Breeze add San Fransisco and/or a Phoenix area flight to SNA. While Breeze does fly from SFO (San Francisco) to SBD (San Bernardino), you’ll have to include extra drive time from San Bernardino to Anaheim which will take you at least an hour, but I’d plan for two or more.
The other route I mentioned that makes so much sense to me is PHX to SNA. Currently, none of their Phoenix flights go to Southern California.
Add discount Disneyland tickets to your cheap airfare…
In addition to a cheap flight with a seamless booking experience, I can also help you get discount Disneyland tickets to The Happiest Place on Earth.
Another option is using Breeze to fly into LAX. It’s a farther and busier airport but if you’re coming from one of these cities on the LAX route you might look into it:
- BDL Bradley International Airport – Hartford, CT
- CHS Charleston International Airport – Charleston, SC
- JAX Jacksonville International Airport – Jacksonville, FL
- MSY Louis Armstrong International Airport – New Orleans, LA
- ORF Norfolk International Airport – Norfolk, VA
- PIT Pittsburgh International Airport – Pittsburgh, PA
- RDU Raleigh-Durham International Airport – Raleigh / Durham, NC
- PVD Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport – Providence, RI / Boston, MA
- RIC Richmond International Airport – Richmond, VA
- HPN Westchester County Airport – Westchester / White Plains, NY
If you want to fly Breeze to Disney World
The best way to fly Breeze to Walt Disney World is to fly into Orlando (MCO). Breeze Airways currently flies to Orlando from:
- Akron-Canton Airport – Akron / Canton / Cleveland, OH (CAK)
- Charleston International Airport – Charleston, SC (CHS)
- Huntsville International Airport – Huntsville, AL (HSV)
- John Wayne Airport – Orange County, CA (SNA) non-stop
- Louis Armstrong International Airport – New Orleans, LA (MSY)
- Northwest Arkansas National Airport – Bentonville / Fayetteville, AR (XNA)
- Provo Municipal Airport – Provo / Salt Lake City, UT (PVU)
- Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport – Providence, RI / Boston, MA (PVD)
- Tulsa International Airport – Tulsa, OK (TUL)
What’s missing from these routes? I’d definitely like to see Breeze add a New York area flight to MCO. While Breeze does fly from ISP (Long Island, New York) to TPA (Tampa, Florida), you’ll have to include extra drive time from Tampa to Orlando which is about 80 minutes.
Since Breeze already flys from Long Island, New York maybe their next route could be from ISP to MCO. We’ll have to wait and see!
In addition to a cheap flight, I can also help you get discount Walt Disney World tickets to The Most Magical Place on Earth.
How much is a Breeze Flight to Disney?
Since this is still a relatively new airline (inaugural flight was in June 2021), their fares are incredibly well priced. I was able to search a flight from just 8 days in advance and still see an incredible fare totaling $111 round trip. I used XNA to MCO as my sample flight. The highlighted selection shows their affordable fares.
I did a similar search for a flight less than two weeks in advance and found a fare for totaling $98 round trip. I used PVU to SNA as my sample flight. The highlighted selection shows their introductory fares.
There are various fares to choose from and you will pay fees for bags and other options. Keep reading for all the details on flying Breeze to Disney Parks below.
Breeze Seats and Fares to Disney Parks
As I mentioned above, you can get some pretty incredible “nice” fares to Disney Parks in Florida and California at low-cost carrier fares which Breeze groups into three categories:
- Nice
- Nicer
- Nicest with Ascent
My first time flying with Breeze, I booked the Nicest fare and it was still cheaper and had better flight time options than my go-to airline, Southwest.
Not a Breeze plane, this is Walt’s Plane 🙂
Let’s take a look at what you get and don’t get with each type of Breeze fare.
Breeze to Disney Nice Fare
The Nice fare is the cheapest Breeze Airways ticket and still has many perks that go with it. But it’s worth scanning this list to see if it meets your needs.
- Seat randomly assigned or choose a seat for a fee. Upgrade fees are as follows—Standard: $10 to $30, Extra Legroom: $20 to $50, or First Class 30 to $259. I imagine the fee would just be the difference to upgrade to the Nicer or Nicest fare anyway. So at that point you wouldn’t be in the Nice section anyway.
- If a seat assignment is not purchased, one will be randomly assigned at check-in for free.
- Parties are not guaranteed seats together.
- Small children ages 2-12, can choose free seats in our standard seat section designated for Family Seating (more on this later)
- Prices apply to a la carte purchases
- No change or cancel fees
- Reusable credit if you cancel (up to 24 months)
- Personal item
- 2% BreezePoints earned
Breeze to Disney Nicer Fare
Breeze also has a mid-tier fare option dubbed Nicer. It’s exactly what it promises, a bit nicer, more legroom and allows a free carry-on and free checked bag. Plus you’ll get more seat options.
- Extra legroom seat choice
- No change or cancel fees
- Reusable credit if you cancel (up to 24 months)
- Personal item
- One carry-on bag
- One checked bag
- 4% BreezePoints earned
- Extra legroom seat
- Priority boarding
Breeze to Disney Nicest Fare with Ascent
Nicest is Breeze Airways first class seat. And the seats are cushy!
Nicest fare bundles now come with Breeze Ascent, which is the upfront, first class experience including the seat, food and beverages included.
In the Nicest seats, here are so many places to store all your stuff (don’t leave anything behind!), there’s a charger, foot rest, and you can recline without feeling like a jerk to the person behind you. Nicest seats are 2 by 2.
- First class seat choice with Ascent up front, first class experience
- No change or cancellation fees
- Reusable credit if you cancel (valid for 24 months)
- Personal item
- 6% BreezePoints earned
- First class seat
- One carry-on bag
- Two checked bags
- Light snack and one drink choice from our menu (flights shorter than four hours)
- Drink (including alcohol) and one snack choice (flights longer than four hours)
- Priority boarding
I should have double checked this before my flight because I couldn’t remember if I had to pay for the snack and drink. And the snack selection was legit! On flights since I have taken full advantage of this Ascent perk!
One thing that is weird with the Nicest seat, if you choose an aisle know that there’s this a bar in the center of the under seat storage.
It makes it harder to fit a backpack or small carry on underneath. Luckily the window seat next to me was empty so I could use that. Now I always book the window option.
A few things about Breeze Ascent…
In spring 2023 Breeze Airways announced a new option that now comes with Nicest fare bundles on select flights. Here is what I learned about Breeze Ascent and how (surprise!) I have actually already experienced it since I’ve flown Breeze Nicest several times.
- Ascent comes automatically with Nicest fares, but can be purchase a la carte as well
- Breeze Ascent is the upfront experience including first class seat, food and beverages
- Ascent is only offered on flights operated by an Airbus A220 and which offer the Nicest fare bundle
- If you already have a Nicest airfare booked, Ascent experience is included automatically on Airbus A220s

Breeze Airways to Disney FAQs
As of this publishing, I have flown Breeze just once. I have other flights booked as does my family. More information is certainly coming. But I do have a few FAQs to answer as I get more familiar with the airline myself.
What’s the Breeze connection to JetBlue?
Breeze was founded by David Neeleman, who previously co-founded JetBlue. If you love JetBlue, you’ll likely love Breeze. It operates very similarly and offers great early morning flights to Disney and late evening departures home. Read more from Trips with Tykes in The Complete Guide to Flying JetBlue with Kids.

How much are carry on bags on Breeze?
Breeze uses dynamic pricing for bags. That means when you first purchase your flight you might be offered a $30 price tag, but if you don’t upgrade then and try to later, it might be $40 or $50. You can also use their bag pricing calculator to get an estimate. But my advice is either purchase an upgraded fare that includes a bag or take the first add-on price.

Breeze Airlines Pros & Cons
After reading through this much, you can probably tell I am a fan. At current count, I’ve taken 2 trips via Breeze and have a couple more booked. Here are a couple quick pros and cons I’ve found with more experience.
Breeze Airlines Pros
- Fantastic value
- Great flights to Disney
- Excellent customer service
- I’ve really enjoyed the flight attendants aboard
Breeze Airlines Cons
- Frequent schedule changes, often minor
- Last minute airplane changes negates any paid upgrades, for example I had first class but when we had to use another plane all seats were the same
Bottom Line: I’ll continue flying Breeze when it makes sense for my schedule and wallet. I hope more of you can try it out as well. I’d love to see this airline succeed and expand.
